The carpentry class is looking for projects – mini barns, playhouses, she-sheds or other structures from school plans or custom designed and built from a customer’s plan. Orders are being taken for the spring of 2021. People taking part pay only for the materials. The projects are supervised by a red seal certified tradesperson. The sheds/barns are built inside a well-equipped, climate-controlled shop and can be stored until the spring and then delivered. Contractor orders are welcome, too. Contact Glen Pye at [email protected] or call 902-368-6905.
