We are starting another project in Olivette. It’s our first time using K-Wall’s MonoKast system. Very neat to work with.

We just wrapped up this cool project on Town Mountain. We’ll miss the white squirrels, bears, and the great neighbors we met up there. Thanks to the homeowners for being so kind and fun to work with.
