Construction Chat is a weekly chat on Thursday mornings at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. If you’re free, we’d love you to join us.
This is the last chat this year.
Do you remember, as a kid, getting the Sears Christmas Wish Book? It was so much fun to dog-ear the pages and dream of the things you’d like.
Today’s topic is “Wish List.”
