“Who ARE these people building these houses? Look at HIM. What about HER? See those TWO? They are all from DIFFERENT backgrounds.”
*-David Howard-http://www.firstdaycottage.com*

DISCLAIMER
This group is in no way affiliated with FirstDay Cottage. We are builders, planners, and dreamers just like yourselves who were looking for a group to turn to for questions and issues.
