The truth about working in an HOA vs. Here (Day 117)
Day 117 of 365: Getting things done on our own terms.We’re officially closing in on being a third of the way through this 365-day vlog series! It’s wild how fast the time is flying, but looking back at the daily progression makes every bit of the effort feel worth it.In today’s vlog, we’re making some much-needed upgrades to our mobile setup. I’m tackling some evening sanding to finish up the new individual access panels for our fridge/freezer—a great idea from Alex that’s going to make our daily workflow so much smoother.Being out here has really made me reflect on the freedom of this lifestyle. I spent years building vans in HOA parking lots and cramped city streets where you’re always on someone else’s clock. Now, if I want to sand wood at 8:00 PM, the only person I have to answer to is Alex (and maybe Paco if he starts barking!).In this episode:Solar & Power Updates: How the panels are holding up and how we’re managing power between Betty and the Hideout.Rig Progress: Poured the shower pan and finished sanding the kitchen blocking.The "Witching Hour": Navigating toddler life, teaching Everly about boundaries, and the importance of listening.A Surprise Guest: Spotting a paraglider catching the evening thermals right above us.Thank you for showing up with us every day. Whether we're biking or sanding, your support keeps us sticking to this commitment.See you tomorrow!#NomadicLife #VanBuild #365DayVlog #OffGridLiving #DIYTravel #FrankieNAlex Start on Day 1 if you are new here: https://youtu.be/_ydNTMUxuOA We're Frankie and Alex.
