    Oh my goodness, this older video popped up so I decided to watch! You’re daughter telling you that you’re doing a good job was absolutely adorable. Amazing you have these for them to look back on. ❤️

    Admire how you just fix things the way you like, and watch your costs doing it. The caulking really gave the room a much more finished look. The doors looked like most old mobile home doors, until you made them look new again. Great job!

    I live in an old 1991 mobile home. I bought it used, it had the original wall paper with lovely purple irises on everything! YUCK!!! It even had glass insets with irises on the cabinet doors in the kitchen. I didn't have any money to replace them so I Kilzed them and painted over them. You can't really notice the flowers unless you get close and look for it. Also, in my home there were mirrors EVERYWHERE! At first I was worried that they were glued to the wall and that it would mess the walls up if I took them down. One day I got really brave and took the molding off on one side and realized they were only held up by the molding. Don't know if they are all that way but just a tip for anyone who needs it. I have done lots of work on this home and have more to do but I am SO THANKFUL for my home.

    I love your energy. We were given an 8 year old trailer for free and we’re living in it while we save for some land and I need to fix it up some ( but hey, it was free ) paint is such a great way to change it up on the cheap. We’re doing a plexiglass backsplash and painting all the fixtures as well. We’re making concrete countertops and doing it all ourselves, while putting in gardens and solar panels ( which my husband also made). Y’all are adorable and I like your energy. I wish y’all an abundant life and wish you well on your life’s journey. Namaste 🙏🏼

    It took 3 coats of white paint to cover my dark walnut mobile home doors, and I used a primer/paint. It was worth it though, what an amazing difference. Good job!

We don’t mind putting in the work to make something how we want it to be. Of course you can save a ton of money by doing your own projects too. Keep up the good work!

    Great job! I live in a single wide that is about 40ish years old and maintenance has been neglected quite a bit. Just replaced the guts of the electrical panel (do that every 20 yrs folks) and have been painting my behind off in nearly every room to update the look of it all. Replacing subfloor is next because it does wear out over time... Great job on the caulking, that's a cool tip I hadn't thought of yet! And despite the paint on you and "sweating" you still look beautiful!

    I live in a mobile home too and had never thought to paint the doors. I guess I just assumed the paint wouldn't stick because of the material of the doors. It totally changed the look of your room! I feel like we are forever cleaning our underpinning too. Great idea on how to use the caulk to fill the gaps. You rock!

    I live in a single wide as well and doors are expensivs especially when there are so many we have 9 doors and were planning buying new but i decided to try and paint them and it looks just like they are new. Especially if you add some trim to spruce them up definitely alot cheaper than paying $30 per door. Weve been working on updating our home as well.

    Lynn, The doors are called LUAN doors, my Parents had these doors in their split level home, they painted theirs too. Looks Great! Yes they always need a primer coat then 1-2 coats of paint to cover best. Rust oleum works great on door knobs.

      I have a mobile home too and it is about to go through a huge remodel. New flooring, furniture, paint, appliances, etc.
      Just a quick tip....when painting a mobile home Killz (I think that is how you spell it) is your best friend. 1 coat and you wont need as many coats of paint. We painted our wallpapered walls about 7 years ago and it still looks good and we used 1 coat of killz and 1 coat of paint. Saves money too.
      Your house looks great.

    Whatever way it works best for you is the way to go. I commend you for wanting to have your home the best it can be. Hard work pays off.i don't know if you used a product called No Sand...it might help in not having to put so many coats plus it helps the paint to adhere to the doors.
    Awesome looking. Keep up the good work.

    Use Kilz before painting the doors , then you would not need so many coats.
