Re: Building Kool Design WRIGHT-ACT new pictures 11Aug 26, 2012 11:22 am Unfunkable, Just found your thread - thank you for the picture-fest! Nice, as you say, to find another ACT-based thread here. For the number of new places I see being built it would be nice if there were more. Good luck with "in by Christmas".
