Hi, Jim Coshow here from Dunn Lumber. We are grateful for our longtime friend Gary Katz, who is a regular contributor to the Dunn Solutions blog. Gary is an accomplished professional, and has devoted the better part of the past three decades to educating the construction industry. Dunn Lumber is proud to have hosted Gary’s first Katz Roadshow back in 2003, which is still going strong today and continues to feature Gary's carpentry clinics.
Today, we've compiled the five most popular posts currently featured on Gary's publication THISisCarpentry. We hope you find the posts helpful.
