So, in keeping up with the latest ...
Over the years we’ve gotten to see a lot of photos of the many projects we’ve designed and built. But recently we found some photos of a barn we designed and built in Edgerton, KS that really made us smile. Turns out the Mildale Farm barn is a big hit with brides!
