It’s amazing how much a quick declutter can help with the grocery and fuel budget!Back at "The Hideout," Frankie is making major progress on the shower build. The structure is finally ready for walls, and we're one step closer to getting Betty finished. We also share some big travel updates for Everly’s 3rd birthday and our upcoming trip to Northwest Nomads in Oregon!In this video:Turning old gear into $450 cashShower build progress: Structure & RedGard prepNew cozy lighting upgrades for the bed areaCooking zucchini lentil fritters with AlexUpcoming travel plans: New York, Oregon, and FloridaStart on Day 1 if you are new here: https://youtu.be/_ydNTMUxuOA We're Frankie and Alex.
