Did y'all know we have *4 channels* now? This main one, plus:
🎮 Evan and Katelyn Gaming ruclips.net/user/evanandkatelyngaming
(us playing games and chatting, enhanced by epic editing and a heavy dose of memes)
🎙️ Evan and Katelyn Podcast ruclips.net/user/evanandkatelynpodcast
(chatting about life, RUclips stuff, and playing games you can play along with)
😹 Evan and Katelyn Too ruclips.net/user/evanandkatelyn2
(still figuring this one out 😂)
Yes I did
For the screw holes...just fill them up with a mixture of fine sawdust and PVA glue, when it dries just screw in the new screws and you're done.
Bye Bye same
What about Supurrrvisor channel?
Hey guys wanna paint my front door this color but the link says it’s no longer available!!! Help!!! 😫
I could feel the denial and regret in that "They're lights"
Haha I should have realized then that we were going to replace them 😋
@@EvanAndKatelyn Alright. This is totally random and possibly intrusive and offensive. But if you guys have a baby girl, you should name her Evelyn. See what I did there😎😎😎
once we made a snowman out of golfballs and named it Evelyn: ruclips.net/video/SGcj4Rc6ptg/видео.html
@@EvanAndKatelyn shameless plug?
@@kenzieberumen3578 on their own channel? Idk about tbat
You should paint the windows trim the same color as the front door.
Definitely thought of it but then we would need to do the whole house which we worry about making an interesting video lol
I don't know, I kinda like it....
@@EvanAndKatelynI had the exact same thought the second you revealed the look! I think it would up your "front door makeover" game if you painted the two side window frames to match that door. It's got architectural lines in there that are being totally ignored by the beige/brown paint. I don't think you need to do any others around the house since they would be an extension clearly related to the front door.
Same thought
I thought the same thing
I’m sitting here eating lunch, watching the door makeover unfold and when you get to the lights, I say out loud to no one, “Oh no, those are too low.” And then you’re at Lowe’s getting diff lights and I get probably too excited. Thanks for the emotional roller coaster at the noon hour.
Haha! Thanks for coming along the emotional journey with us! Hopefully no one around at lunch thought you were too weird 😜😁
everyone thought they were too low!! They are awesome to fix it :D
You would have had to rename the video: "Most Oddly Unsatisfying " if you didn't change it! ;)
i think that's what everyone thought
I'm here. Literally a teen watching someone make over their door, knowing that I will never do anything with this knowledge, and I'll probably forget it by the time I get my own house, so yeah.
Did Kate just reference jenna marbles "I want to be tall "
I caught that one too 😂
Haha, we love Jenna ❤️ Dink fam!
I love you guys more!!! 😂😁
They need to colab
Dink dink
If I don't have toothpicks I'll use the bottoms of matches. I'd also recommend some wood glue to fill the gaps.
Golf tees are great too. But yes. WOOD GLUE is needed. Could even drill the hole bigger and add a dowel.
I don't know if it exists in America, but in the UK I use something called Polyfilla Plug and Fix. It is a an epoxy putty especially mode for repairing holes so they will properly take a screw. It is kind of like a stick of cheming gum that has the components on two sides so you can also pretend that you are using the explosive gum from the first Mission Impossible.
Oooo thanks for the tips! I guess if these ever come loose, we'll pop some good glue in there 👍👍
@@commando552 Yeah something like this we have. www.lowes.com/pd/DAP-Plastic-Wood-1-4-oz-White-Wood-Filler/4013493 Although I have not used this stuff for small holes to then have a screw go in.
I am glad you said it. I thought about the glue too!
Good call on the lights! My first thought was "oh. They look kind of low" lol.
Haha yep, had to be done!
@@EvanAndKatelyn its really nice to see the genuine version of a project, mistakes and changed minds and unexpected problems and all that. You guys always feel really honest and relatable.
Wait... The electrical panel is outside? Sounds like the perfect recipe for a horror /thriller movie.
Haha I seriously had never really thought about that til the comments started rolling in! Officially paranoid...😱😱
I was thinking the same thing when i saw the electrical panel on the outside.
it is common in cali from what i hear, find it stupid though - not only from an intruder point of view but also from a long-term reliability pov as electrical boxes rust over time and then water gets in
@@EvanAndKatelyn Time for a DIY security cage! :) Although make sure the meters are accessible otherwise fines (at least that''s how it works up north here in Canada).
I freaked out at this too. From both the intruder safety but also the safety from exposing wires/breakers to the elements. If a breaker is tripped, you have to go outside, around the house and potentially in the elements, rainstorm etc, to flip the switch! Crazzzzzzzy. Chuckie is gunna getchoo. Sorry couldn't resist.
‘ we can’t keep plants alive’ Evan: crushes plant with box...
It’s a mystery that shall never be solved
🤣🤣
If you haven’t already, you don’t want to use the screws that come with the door hardware you want to use deck screws that are double or even triple the length of the screws that come with the hardware. By using longer screws if someone were to try and break down the door it would be much harder and the integrity of the hardware will hold up better and not get loose over the years!
Thank you for the tip!!
Cheyenne Quinn it only benefit if you have a solid wood door.
Oh my gosh I was so relieved when you said the lights didn’t look right 😂
Haha I'm so glad we changed them!
Great job, guys! Looks a heck of a lot better 😊 My grandfather actually taught me that toothpick trick! He used wood glue when he did it, however. I think adding that might be good for extra insurance that it won’t get stripped again, or at least not as easily. Either way, you guys are killin’ it 🤙🏻
Thank you! Ah yes, probably should have used wood glue
Evan knows painting! "Now for the most fun part of any painting project: spending 20 minutes looking through swatches to figure what's the difference between this gray and this gray and this white and this gray…," and not even looking anymore because deciding is really about just giving up and going with whatever is in your hand at the moment.
Hahaha, so true
Evan was correct about how to hold a sash brush! That’s the way my college painting professor taught us.
I was about to comment mid-video that the lights looked way too low and you need a different style. Glad you figured it out on your own. ;) looking forward to the next podcast.
Haha! Yep, I'm glad we made the switch! And thank you, next one will be live Monday! 😄😀
Would love to see a quick video on your HPSPVS! (Home Photoshopping Super Preview Vision System™)
Haha! Maybe we'll do a live stream on Twitch next time we do it!
I honestly wish I could find my own Evan! He's so supportive and cheery.
Thanks y'all for watching! And pssst - did y'all know we have a podcast 🙀🎙️😸? We talk about RUclips stuff, life stuff, we play hilariously dumb games that you can play along with, and basically have a good time hanging out for an hour. It's "Evan and Katelyn Podcast" on all podcast apps or in video form here: ruclips.net/user/evanandkatelynpodcast
I love your podcast. I listen to it on my commute to work and when I'm in the shop. Congratulations on 200k!
54°F is not "cooooold!!", Katelyn! 🤣😂
@@socialmediumspace aw thank you! So glad you like it!!
@@ChrisPage68 so cooooooold!
EvanAndKatelyn hey guys I seen you briefly showed you photoshopping how the doors where going to looking when finished could you recommend a program or app for this I’m not the best with technology 🙈
Killing it guys.
Thank you Rachel!
Katelyn's editing is the best,I mean THE best.
Aw thank you! 🙏🙏
Looks much nicer indeed! Too bad the other lights were "too low" as they were pretty pretty :)
Something I found so weird is that your electricity panel is outdoors 😱😱😱is that common is the US? So...anyone who gets into your garden can switch things on and off?
Oh yeah i told myself the same thing about the electricity panel as French ! It's very weird and seems unsafe
I live in Canada but I’ve never seen an outdoor panel
I've noticed that too about the electrical panels. But I've also noticed that the outdoor electrical panels are mainly on older house's. And on House's in warmer climates. I don't know why they did that. But it is interesting.
Thank you!! Haha yeah it's pretty common I guess, at least around here... but now I'm officially paranoid 👀👀
@@EvanAndKatelyn If it's possible, you guys should at least put a pad lock on it or something. Moving the whole panel to the garage would be ideal. But that's probably really expensive to do.
Am I the only one who was shocked at Joobie just there with the door open?! My cat would have bolted 😂
My husband and I resurfaced our front door this fall. It was quite the ordeal as it is a HUGE door (like 8ft?). Thankfully my husband is 6'4" and I've done a good amount of woodworking and re purposing furniture in my lifetime. I was able to coach the sanding and restaining while he was able to reach the hard to get to places! Thankfully we didn't have to take it off the hinges cause I imagine it would have weighed a ton since its wood/glass and that big! It looks so much better now! We added a ring doorbell too! Its been the best thing since sliced bread!
Sounds like you guys are a good team! That sounds like a big undertaking!
Always nice to see siblings getting along so nicely. Not even any arguments about colors.
We're married actually!
EvanAndKatelyn DOH!!!!! Forgive me, I’m French!
I honestly love how they always make references to other youtubers I love like simplynaillogical and jennamarbles ❤
We love Cristine and Jenna! Haha we watch so much of them we are often quoting them 😂😂
@@EvanAndKatelyn Honestly you two and both Cristine and Jenna are my top watched RUclips channels so it's amazing
Today I learned there's a correct way to paint a door and that 54°is cold. Thanks guys!
-A Michigan native
hahaha! hey in Texas, we all bust out hoodies and boots in 54!
sheer white curtains on those windows would look amazing and brighten it up tons
Haha idk we haven't hung them! We have sheets everywhere else in the house
2:32 i love how Katelyn is trying her best to reach the very top fixing the door and Evan is staying down low to fix stuff. If only there was some smarter way of deviding the jobs up high from the ones down low... Btw loved the video, as always!
haha... if only there was a way!
Katelyn: "It got really cold. Really cold!"
54°f
Me: Laughs in Washingtonian
hahaha! we fully admit, we are cold wimps!
I hear you on that. I'm a wimp with heat! I can't even tan!
This comment:
Me: Laughs in Canadian
@Candi Walkowski what city do you live in? I’m in vancouver.
I live right next to Vancouver, in Camas. Small world!
Looks great but it would look better if you did the frames around the windows 😉
We'd love to! But we also wanna paint the siding so probably wanna decide what color that would be first
@@EvanAndKatelyn I love watching you guys build stuff its so relaxing.
100% Agree👍👍
@@EvanAndKatelyn Maybe you could paint the siding white but then the trim around the windows and doors black to match the hardware and lights? A little bit Farmhouse but that could look really nice! Love the door color!
You guys are so awesome. You should do a house tour of all of the renovations you have done.
Maybe one day! 😁
I love your front door, and not just the repaint, but the actual architecture of it. It looks so classy.
The toothpicks work well as long as you glue them in with wood glue 👍🏼
ehhhh whoops! Well if it ever gets loose, we'll add some glue 😁😄
You guys are literally amazing!!! Not only is your content funny but you take the time to make sure to explain what your doing and what the best way to do it is ( even if it means doing it 3 times ) 😅
Thank you so much! We definitely try to balance making the video entertaining but also including some tips/stuff we learn 😄😀
Thank Go, you changed those lights, big difference!!! Cute how your learning together and results looks amazing.
I just needed you to know, Evan and Katelyn, that I rewatch these makeover vids of yours a lot. They never get boring and they always make me smile no matter how bad the day was. Thank you so much!!
looks awesome. great job guys!
Thank you so much!
Came out AWESOME!!! Currently looking at our front door now like, "........." 😂 Also, excellent choice of attire!🙌
thanks y'all!! haha yes, this also has me eyeing other things I wanna paint... like all of the siding hahaha
I'm lowkey obsessed with all ur upcycling projects. Plus, u guys have such great chemistry, that it makes watching y'all enjoyable. Keep up the good work !
Thank you so much!
Im binge watching all of youe videos!
You are my favorite craft and makeover chanel!
This is really helping me stay busy during quarenteen!
love ur sense of humor!
I have a cat that looks like yours but it has a white spot on its chest and mine is a short hair cat!
You are awesome!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
It looks so nice and classy now! And most of the screw holes in my house are filled with toothpicks by now. I think the previous owner used to install screws with a hammer. 🙄 That is totally a life hack that works!
Haha it's so nice and fancy 🧐 that it's making the rest of our house look dingy now lol 🏚️🏠 OMG maybe we had the same previous owner for our houses 😂🤣 also why the heck would you EVER install a ceiling fan using only nais?! 1) dangerous and 2) SO hard to get out. Sometimes you just have to shake your head and move on lol
@@EvanAndKatelyn I've started to not hang anything heavy on the walls. It's just safer that way! 😬😂
We always have sawdust everywhere, we started saving it so when we have a stripped hole we can mix it with school glue and fill the hole. It’s cheaper than buying toothpicks since we will always have sawdust and buy giant jugs of glue.
Im so glad you changed those lights! So much better!
Feel so nostalgic watching this video and hearing Evan and Katelyn saying we'll pass 200k tonight! Big achievement out there since now they have more 1M+ subscribers!
It feels like just yesterday you hit 100k . Congratulations!!!!
Thank you! It really did seem like it happened fast! 😊😊
Evan supervising like the boss and dropping the roller as soon as he starts is just 🤣...
also we need more Katelyn singing!
Congrats on the 200(and 1) k!
Hahaha, yes! Oh I'm sure more singing is to come. And thank you!
Lookin' gooooood!! I painted houses for 6 years, and did trimouts for even longer (installing door knobs, light fixtures, switches, panels, vent covers, etc.) You guys did a professional job!
Thank you! 😁❤️
5:06 Is that a Jenna Marbles reference I hear?
Haha! I too want to grow 7 inches taller this year #dinkfam
@@EvanAndKatelyn There's always a medieval rack to assist you with that.. 😜
Nothing says welcome to our home in Texas like a giant brick wall as the first thing you see when you open the front door (it’s our little Alamo)... lol
Haha I know right.... 🤦♀️🤦♂️
I'm rewatching all of your old content while recovering from covid ❤️
Wowwwwwww. Love the makeover! The new door colour and black hardware and lamps made a real difference
Thank you so much!
Such a beautiful makeover! You guys are my favourite DIYers :D.
Aw thank you so much!

Can i just say congrats on 200k and you guys inspire me so much to try new things and get into working with wood. You are the best and you are the cutest couple on youtube that I've seen
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot to us to hear. Good luck on your future woodworking (and any other) projects! ❤️❤️
Watching you brings me so much joy because my whole life I didn't know I was looking for something like what you have. It looks so pure and beautiful.
Aw thank you! ❤️❤️
I love the door, but now I feel you need to do something about the windows :P
Yeah, beside the door the rest looks really shoddy now :D
Haha yeah the windows are pretty rough, we need to replace the screens and paint the trim. We actually wanna paint all the siding!
jajajajaja me diverti mucho con su video, y la puerta quedo genial
Gracias!
Looks good. The only reason I have toothpicks in my house is for fixing screw holes or for testing if he cake is done, but for larger holes like the ones you had, I use wooden golf tees with the finish sanded off and wood glued into place. Adding wood glue will really make a lasting repair.
Haha! Yes, we previously only uses them for doneness testing. Thanks for the additional tips!
Looks great! And I TOTALLY agree in the choice of lights.
Thank you! Oh man I'm so glad we swapped the lights!
The #1 thing I took from this video was that your breaker panel is OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE!? why the why??
Haha we didn't know it wasn't common til the comments started rolling in! It's pretty normal in our area.... but now I'm paranoid about horror movie stuff happening 😱😱
when you're doing Photoshop mockups you can include a ruler in the actual photo so you can have a size reference when pasting in pictures of products! #lifehacksthatactuallywork
yes, that's so handy! I feel like I should do that more often instead of eyeballing it
A dollar bill works too.
I love you guys. You know what would be a great idea? A sliding door, like on Star Wars, Star Trek or, eh, the supermarket. Looks like you could use a hands free door.
New lights definitely better than first option. Great color.
"Wait till tomorrow to install the door hardware..."
Wait, so how did you lock your door overnight? o.O
I love you even more now after that Jenna Marbles reference!
We love Jenna! Dink fam!
I have seen just 2 of your videos guys and they really helped me with a project I am working right now!Amazing work!
Thank you!
Ok so I recently discovered you guys and I am so happy I finally found someone who slips in jenna quotes in thier daily life as much as I do. ♡ also I'm jealous of all your supplies, but living vicariously through you isnt bad. Subscribeddddd
Wtf why is the fusebox on the outside?!
That would be a malicious prank to just, you know...
We didn't know it was weird til the comments started rolling in!
@@EvanAndKatelyn well is it locked or just open?
9:57 the outside lamps are uneven
Great color choice for the door and the second light fixtures are SO much better. Katelyn is too cute.
Thanks! It's a big improvement!
You two are such a good duo! It's so rare to find 2 'presenters' and neither are annoying :D And the cat 'su-purr-vising' comment - priceless!
Who has a breaker box on the outside of the house?!
Really. That is so Horror-Movie-Killer-Friendly!
@Nils @Born Again Maker it's pretty common around here annnnnnnnd thanks now I'm paranoid 😨😮
@@EvanAndKatelyn Sorry!
@@EvanAndKatelyn But they aren't the main breakers for the house though? Just outside plugs and lights?
1:33 fifty shades of grey 🤦🏻♂️
bahahaha, that should be a paint line
Door color is great. I use that toothpick trick on my electric guitars when the screw for the straplock gets loose! Tried and true for years!
Golf tees and a little wood glue also does a great job filling holes. Put a little glue on the tee, push it into the hole and cut it off. Of course, you have to drill the hole again but it works great.
ThE liGHts ARe CroOkEd AnD iTS MakIng Me SHOOKETH... ( no hate tho, just my OCD goin' cray-cray)
Haha fear not, in person it's not really noticable (at least that's what I'm telling myself 😂)
How are you two able to make door renovations entertaining? I love it
Second light is a much better choice. Great job.
Thanks! So glad we swapped em
you've become my absolute favourite channel on youtube. I cannot tell you how many times i've been inspired to make something because of you two!!
Aww yay that is so great to hear 😊🙌
Toothpicks covered in wood glue, can be cut in half, works great for hardware or hinge screwholes that are stripped out. You can lightly tap into place with a hammer. Wait for glue to dry, do new pilot holes, and you have nice new sturdy screws.
You guys are so cute! Love watching all your videos. Gave me motivation, too. Oh, and I love the way you put a voice in for your cat!
I was thinking the same thing about the lights!!! I’m so glad you replaced it at the end haha
Y’all are my favorite couple/home projects/makers on RUclips. I just wanted to share that and send y’all positive vibes!
P.S. If y’all ever decide to move to DFW I want to be your Realtor lol I bet it would be a lot of fun working with y’all!
Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words and good vibes 😁😁 And hey if we ever need to move to Dallas, we know who to call!
When my dad did our door hardware we used this life hack thanks it helped so much!
We just had our house re-sided, and are about to take on this same project. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to put your painting tips to use.
Good luck! We'd looooove to get our siding painted too one day
Looks fantastic.
love yalls personalities, but especially love how you present all the information! i literally subscribed last week and ive binge watched all of your videos already...
also always A+ music choice :)
Aw thank you so much!!! That really means a lot to us!
you two have done a great job there new your front door looks warm and inviting & loved
thank you! that's what we were hoping for!
Looks soooo good!
What an amazing difference. Great job guys. In regards to the toothpicks. I've seen some people use toothpicks with wood glue, just throwing that out there for you guys. But I love the way the color and lights turned out. Makes me want to redo my door way.
ah that's a great tip! And thank you! We're really pleased with the color!
I love you guys! This all turned out so great. I am so glad you change the lights because I immediately thought the first ones were too low too lol. So entertaining and so informative. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you! Omg sooooo glad we changed the lights, phew!
Great job!! Looks awesome
It looks great. Excellent job working though all the stuffs.
Thank you! Sometimes you gotta work through stuffs but it's always worth it 😜😁
I love that they would a paint they like and are just running with it. That house gonna be nice
Thank you! Fixing it up one project at a time 🧔🏠👩
You two are the best. I don't think there has been a upload yet that I haven't enjoyed. Wish I could do my repairs with the enjoyment you share with us. Me, I have to spend 30 minutes or more in confession and a couple of bars of soap washing my mouth out before I get done. Keep it up. We love it!
Thank you so much! Haha we have our moments of frustration too (the dang lights!) but working on it together makes the frustrations more doable and the fun parts more fun 😁😄
Your front door looks so beautiful. Loving the blue-gray color. The lights make it look like a modern cottage. 💕
Thank you!
You guys are awesome you to are by far my favourite youtube guys. I wish you all the luck and success with your channel.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Im addicted to watching your DYI videos
Was I the only kid who loved looking at the paint swatches? Even now I love picking out paint swatches in stores, I could do it for hours.
Haha I (Katelyn) also kinda love paint swatches.... at least until I've spent hours agonizing over the decision!
Very nice job love the color and the lights are awesome
Thank you!
