Mobile Workroom Location

We would like to say a special thanks to the Big Red Barn RV Park for making it possible for us to set up an offsite workroom. We appreciate their generosity and willingness to work with our teams as we put in 24 hours a day to help with the finishing touches on 2 of the 7 homes being built for the select Joplin families.
