Planning a home renovation? Before you knock down that first wall or pick up that sledgehammer, join us for an invaluable presentation that could save you time, money, and stress on your next remodeling project.
BARN is thrilled to welcome Stacy Austin, a distinguished construction industry veteran with over three decades of hands-on experience, for our February Woodworkers’ Monthly Presentation.
