Summary
As we find ourselves in the midst of our biggest and most pocket-draining project ever, on this week's episode we're sharing our system for planning and managing our spending during any large scale upgrade or renovation (plus we divulge a few money-saving tips along the way). We also share how some simple house updates paid off big for a friend, we learn why you shouldn't touch someone else's toilet paper, and we school ourselves on the correct pronunciation of "hygge." Also, MARIGOLDS!!!
