Everyone talks about what they did RIGHT, but we can learn more from what someone did WRONG! Here's a list from me. We'll also talk about Subfloors, review a portable projector, visit a very historic place, have some Christmas joy, and find a cheaper way to buy electronics.

The perfect stealth van isn't a white cargo van, it's a MINIVAN! And they're great for camping anyway. We'll also walk through a giant stained glass globe, desulfate our batteries, hear a tale about kids playing soccer, and make some toast.
