    We're officially two weeks away from our big trip, and the pressure is on! Today, I'm wrapping up the work on the trailer's shower and toilet area—it's about 95% finished now, and I'm really stoked with how the epoxy and shelving turned out. Between the build, I'm also staying on top of my post-surgery knee recovery with some mobility exercises to make sure I'm ready for the road.I also had a great catch-up with my mom on the phone—it's been a busy season, but those conversations mean a lot. It's a mix of hard work, self-care, and family time as we count down the final days of this build.In this video:Finishing the trailer shower and toilet setup.Update on my knee recovery and daily mobility routine.A long-overdue phone call with my mom.Finalizing storage and painting plans for the trip.Thanks for being part of this 365-day journey with us!
