I need to give a huge thank you to the contractor on this project – BufordHawthorne homebuilders. The other real benefit to having a contractor repeatedly work on one of my playhouses is that they are able to take the lessons learned from one year in to the next.

You will get to do just about everything sooner rather than later – attend client meetings, contribute to the design, prepare construction drawings, organize and process bidding and negotiating information, and go to job sites.
