I like the build and the hidden shower with hot water. Super cool! I look at a lot of these videos, and don't necessarily subscribe... but.... I really like the energy between the two of you, but what sold me was that in your night stand you have your bibles. Yep, I love that - had to subscribe. Looking forward to seeing more. Be blessed.

Sadly when you are a senior climbing a ladder is out for me, just to name one thing i’m restricted from doing. (Per my kids). 🤗. We plan on getting our van in the spring/summer hopefully! I am doing the deadening and the insulation..... after that I going to hire it out! I have enough $ if I do the build myself, but I just can’t do it after this past year! So I get as much done as I can in installments... so it will be all paid for when I’m done. Last year I had more than enough but prices have gone up faster than I had expected....so if it’s installments and buy as I go!!!!
