I enjoy all that you send keep it up thanks
Thank you for all your plans that you send. Thank you and keep them coming. (Buddy L. )
These are my favorites. Bought a new house with a new yard and am in country so no one can complain. I learned thru trial and error how to use tools. My son no longer gives me perfume. I get routers and saws. Your designs are attractive and useful. Many are slated for next spring. I can’t wait.
All the plans you send to me are great and my friends love them them as well keep sending the plans thanks
Put me pn your plans list please.
Thanks for the bridge plan. I am building it for Living Legacy Gardens in Staples Minnesota to replace the one that is there.
Do you have plans for a 12×16 Gambrel shed?
MERCI pour le plan du pont je vais de suite en faire un et encore merci!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the plans! I modified the railing a little bit and used white rope between the 4×4’s to give it a more nautical look. Turned out great!
Please could you send me the garden bridge plans?
I wouldn’t know how to cut the crescent shape of the 2 x 12. Do you have any instructions for doing that?
Looks absolutely stunning and easy to build for beginners too.
