We came up with a design that was different (and, I think, more attractive) than most of the standard bat houses you can buy.
Our recap of this wonderful annual gathering includes photos from the event, as well as a sneak peek at projects we’ll be rolling out on the blog over the next few weeks.

AZEK pavers are made in the USA from 95% post-consumer recycled content. (A 500-square-foot patio is made from 250 truck tires and 7,500 gallon-sized plastic containers.) We partnered with AZEK to create a classy patio update, just in time for spring.
