Reviews:

"I found the instructors Lizabeth and Patti to be very helpful and fun, wonderful people. Their hands-on approach to learning was in line with my learning methods. I couldn’t have asked for better instructors for this class and would recommend anyone take this course with them teaching."

"The course was excellent. I am ready to attempt my own shed and there is no doubt that shed #2 will be better than shed #1. Thanks to all! The course was great!"

"Both instructors were absolutely excellent and made the course totally enjoyable. With great interaction/interpersonal skills and of course knowledge they made everyone feel at home."
