About Blueprints & Backroads
From the publisher's feed
Most folks call Apache Construction about a barndo or a shop. One called about a giraffe barn, yep, you heard that right! On Blueprints and Backroads, Sarah Davenport shares what 35+ years of building across East Texas has taught her, from the everyday builds to the ones nobody saw coming.
She walks through building permits, what really drives your cost, steel versus timber, and the fine art of keeping up with the Joneses without going broke doing it. It's honest advice, stories straight from the job site, and a little good-natured ribbing of the customers who keep things interesting. Whether you're planning a build or just like knowing how things get made, pull up a chair.
