      I agree. We tried a different camera mount in this video than we ever have. We were both a little disappointed in some of the footage (we actually lost some that was not good enough) ...; we won't use that one again!

      @@FlippinTheMitten Wonder if you heard of checking out college clean out days. College kids throw out all kinds of great items at end of year.

      Of course, if it’s allowed in your area.

      That does come up sometimes, but it keeps getting forgotten about. We know someone that sees the aftermath of college clean out days -they have mentioned it to us and we have been reminded here in the comments, but still haven't managed to put it on the agenda. So, thank you again for mentioning that! I think I would love picking/treasure hunting at college clean out time

    The wooden baby bed organizer is a good item for someone who can use it in their storage area to stack items on. Also, the thrift store sells wine glasses for $8 each, especially during the holidays so that is a good find.
