Eric G. is diving into some seriously juicy topics this week, starting with his weekend camping adventure that turned into a hilarious escapade with a used RV—let’s just say, the shower wasn't quite up to code! But hey, he made it out to Fort Stevens State Park, which is a gem of a spot, packed with history and stunning views. After that, he shifts gears to the housing market, where he’s seeing more homes popping up for sale than buyers willing to snap them up. It’s like a game of musical chairs, and guess what? The music's about to stop! Lastly, Eric spills the tea on some major outdoor design faux pas that are making backyards look like a time capsule from a decade ago.
