    Even though the theme of your channel is simple, debt free living, I see a larger theme. You two demonstrate a loving, Christian marriage. Lots of people would never see what that looks like if they did not see your videos. Job well done.

    It took me a long time to say just “water heater” when my plumber said it. He said, “Hot water doesn’t need heating”. We both died laughing, and I’ve remembered ever since. 😂

      Yeah, that's a common running joke. But every plumber I know (and I know a lot) calls it a HOT water heater.

    My husband and I have been watching your videos on building out the box truck. We are so impressed with your skillset and laugh at times (with a nod) when you talk about thinking through the design and potential road blocks as we've done the same thing as well with projects in the past. We have plans (God willing) to do some camping of our own after my husband retires. You've definitely made us think about buying something older that we can update to fit our needs. New campers are SO expensive! We are 7 months away from having our mortgage paid off and want to keep any debt as low as it can be, paying off any remaining debt quickly. God Bless both of you and we can't wait for more videos! 💜

    "Effeciency cottage" Elizabeth said. Or maybe a small studio apt. on wheels I would say, because you've got a little kitchen with it. Foldables work so well in small spaces like that ie. folding tables, folding chairs, even folding racks for things on the counter or shelf. Have you thought about a folding clothes drier? If you only wash out your swim suits or a tea towel you need somewhere to dry them. It would save money in the long run as you don't have to use quarters to wash just a few things. There's even small manual clothes washers, but I have never used one. It's just nice and more sanitary to hand out something wet right away than let it mildew in the laundry basket.

  • @MyLogHomeLife

    Hello Bill. The raised floor also could be used with a deep slide out drawer and the area you made a slide out could have been for the table. I also seen a taller slide out on temu that had alot of space in it. Also I seen on a short, someone used a rope tied and hanging and one about a foot away tied and hanging and stapled into place. They then when wanting a table, used those ropes as brace as they slid a board into it and it held and secured the table. I personally would of used screws. However I am just giving you ideas for maybe doing that somewhere else or outside for a table. I still like what you did, Im simply just giving info.

It's like I have to wait until I do other stuff first.i custom build them. My dollhouse is 5 feet long and we helped my niece build a 10 foot long dollhouse . You can't build the normal way.

    Hi Elizabeth and Bill! It’s looking real good so far! Just a suggestion… get some thin vinyl cutting boards (Dollar Tree or Amazon) to place on top of the sink cutting board so you don’t ruin it with cut marks and faded color from scrubbing and washing it. I had a similar set up and regretted not protecting the cutting board so it looked nice when it’s just sitting there. Think of it as more of a extra counterspace than a cutting board.
