@ Sue
If you are concerned about giving your personal info, you can simply create a ‘fluff’ email account.
From what I can tell, the site does NOT do any kind of verification (ie, name & address, etc) in order to fulfill your order and provide the download links.
I just placed an order for the 4×4 coop plans, there was a free PDF (in a zip file) download link included in the order completion page. I haven’t even checked my email for the pdf files yet.
where do you get the scallop edging? thank you
I cannot find the down load for the PDFs for how to build the wishing well can you send me the plans in pdf to me?
