BUILDING
WORKSHOP COURSES |
|||
|
Many people who have visited our farm and seen all
our homebuilt buildings, tools and other projects have said "how can you build
such nice things so inexpensively, why don't you give courses?", so this is
our first attempt at setting up courses. Note: we have a minimum of 4 people, limit
of 4 couples per workshop. See our web page for general information: www.abacom.com/~gweller or call George
and Tonie Weller at 819-876-2528. Thank you. |
