Have you seen the progress on our facebook page?<br />
Tons of photos to fly through. I still need to upload the latest. The trim carpenter is done with the Craftsman panel look and is starting the coffered ceiling beams. We've had some frustrating times and issues with lack of communication that have cost us extra... I will choose my contractor more wisely next time (if there is one).<br />

Thanks for the kind words Denise. I am sure your patience and attention to detail will pay off with your business, good work. It's good to hear that you have retained so much from the school.
