We Built a Luxury River House! - Summary

Summary

Two friends built a luxury river house in five days. The house is designed with a tropical theme and consists of a bathroom, bedroom, and living room/kitchen. The friends chose a bamboo aesthetic and built bridges to connect the different rooms. They encountered challenges, including a wobbly bridge, rain, and a swarm of mosquitoes. Despite these obstacles, they completed the house and decorated the interior. The friends tested the house's durability and enjoyed their new shelter, but not without some humorous mishaps.
