Things that can cause injury or harm, things that if left unattended will grow worse. The garage is detached but also bermed along that same back wall. There is a breezeway/porch between the house and the garage. It depends on how inconvenient it is for you and your family. Where not to tolerate broken. It depends.
Family Balance Sheet

I have made a pact with myself that if I don’t already own something that I need, I will either: make do with what I have, find said item at a thrift store, borrow, or forget about it. I want to go through our basement, closets, and garage to look for unused items that we can sell. Do you want to eliminate debt too?

Family Balance Sheet

We bought a used pop-up several years ago and it was one of the best decisions for our family We absolutely adore camping, and we’d like to upgrade to a travel trailer. I’m curious to see how much we can save and also how creative we can get by making do with what we already own or looking for things at a thrift store.

In it she reminisces about growing up poor in the Great Smokey mountains in East Tennessee. The family behind us, for instance, lived for years in their basement with their brood of kids (they ended up with around 15 I remember). But I never felt poor growing up. All they had to do was find some pony poop and plant it!
