A little long and drawn out

Very informative.
By Camala J. (Contractor / Trades, Landscape Architect, Professional Organization) on September 23, 2021

Very informative. Biggest issue with course is that every time I exited, it did not keep my place, so I had to go and find and use the arrow keys to get to where I left off which was very time consumbing.

Excellent.
