Next, Daniel shares updates on his current renovation projects, including the painstaking work of stripping paint on his front porch and pouring a concrete slab at the duplex. He recounts his "brush with the law" involving a strict building inspector and the unexpected need for a permit, sparking a discussion on the challenges and frustrations that often accompany restoration work.

Then, They lighten the mood with a funny story involving a pair of neighborhood kids who mistook Daniel for the builder of his old house. This leads to a conversation about the endearing and hilarious things kids say. Daniel also talks about his visit to Prehistoric World, a unique attraction in Perry, NY. It brought some unexpected fun to his week.

Finally, Stacy and Daniel reflect on the juggling act of managing multiple projects and the importance of setting boundaries and priorities. They express their heartfelt gratitude to their listeners for their support throughout the season, ending on a high note with excitement for the ghost story episodes ahead.
