Too Much Time Spent Building?

Too Much Time Spent Building & Not Enough Time Promoting?

I guess it’s a good problem to have but I have neglected to keep you all in the loop with what we’ve been doing lately.

I started going through all the projects we completed in 2013 and realized that I didn’t post any pictures (or very few) for the majority of them. Too busy building and not enough time promoting.

We are very close to releasing photo galleries for all 33 Project Buildings in 2013 but here is a sneak-peak of one of my favourites of the year.

Completed in the Spring for a very well know Restaurateur in West #Vancouver this build was a 12′ x 12′ Modern-Shed #PreFab #Workout Room complete with wrap around Trex Deck. Plus who can forget the outdoor shower!
