design: Ask the contractor - 12/04/08 04:20 PM
I just joined Active Rain network and really like it. After reading several blogs, I decided that it may be a good idea to have Ask the Contractor blog.
I am a civil engineer by education an have been in business for 18 years providing design-build remodeling and Handyman Services in Washington DC metro area.
