Summary
It's been a busy few weeks on our beach house renovation and they've been... well... less than smooth, to say the least. So this week we're taking you through the saga of three setbacks that happened pretty much back to back (including a missed deadline, having no water line to our house, and a surprise medical complication). And although we're keeping it real about renovations not always being easy or straightforward, it all has a happy ending: we survived nearly 20 hours of tiling, and we share the handy gadget that made working in a house with no electricity possible. Also Sherry continues to refuse to be a clean freak, and we spill what it's like to attend a live recording for a huge podcast (they had lines around the block).
