Taos Area (Dan Krause - Owner Builder Project)

Taos Area (Mateo Salinas Clarke & Laura Clarke - Owner Builder Project)

• A&E Mechanical - Ranchos de Taos, NM (They did our septic system and main water line tap.)

• Highland Plumbing - El Prado, NM (Dan is great, very busy. But he works with a lot of owner-builder folks around the area.)

• A second vote for Quality Timber (On Dan's recommendation we've gotten all of our rough sawn lumber here and it's amazing.)
