I think Carlie missed her grandma. She is so sweet to help Bill and you on your camper build. My grandchildren loved to spend time with us.

I agree 100000%! Bill and Elizabeth know what they are doing! I loathe the negative "wet blankets" who see fault in everything someone else does! I bet most of those peepz wouldn't have the guts to film their own deeds and have it come out half as nice as Bill and Elizabeth's projects!!! Most of us know that Bill is very particular about his work and very meticulous builder! I trust his work!!!

Hello Bill,Elizabeth & Carly Bill your an excellent carpenter👍and because you’re a builder theres no expense paid out for labor!!! Love the windows & I agree with Elizabeth,id rather be sitting and look out the windows.. I really enjoy watching you build and then Elizabeth decorate💞🌸 Very cool 🤗 Have a blessed week…

I love how Bill kept pointing at Elizabeth's 'mark's for the camera 😅and she kept coming close to him to discuss things. You two are awesome. 😊

[@carlapierle8623]

Lol, at least the window height discussion remained calm and diplomatic "off camera". I was rooting for Elizabeth.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

It was not contentious in any way. We simply don’t do that! We were just discussing the options and deciding which was best.

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

Can't wait to see the cute curtains Elizabeth makes for those windows. Even when she doesn't know we are watching she is still respectful and loving toward the husband who keeps 'pushing her aside'. LOL

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

I kept pushing her aside because she kept stepping in front of the camera, with her back to the camera! I couldn't figure out why she kept doing that. I didn't realize she didn't know it was filming.

Looking good. Yes, the box truck was the best option. Just the thought of not having to haul everything into a hotel at night makes this worthwhile. Better eating and sleeping all is a win, win. An outdoor gazebo will be the perfect addition for the outdoor setting.

Nice floor plan ideas. Some people use the plug in induction burners and when not in use they put the 2 burner induction cooktop in a drawer. This way they still have the countertop area to work on.

Hello there! I am not sure if someone else suggested this idea or option or not... but we have the same windows in our RV. For a different "open" option I just pop it open and then just move the arm back towards closing position and leave the window "hanging" there. It allows about an inch or so of an "opening" I hope that makes sense. 😊😊😊 Excited to continue to see how your traveling home comes along!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Yes, I have recently discovered that as a way to open the window just a crack. Thank you.

[@irishheart4768]

I think you should have centered it more then you did. Still looks good. God bless. 😊

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

We couldn’t center it because of floor to ceiling cabinets that will be against the inside wall. We discussed that in this video when Elizabeth and I were inside talking about placement of the window.
