        In Tucson, we have 28 members of a 36 unit project signed up,
groundbreaking to start within the month.  We have 19 kids currently, and
we have left the workshop and playground out of the construction budget,
to eliminate the builder & developer markups.   Based on your advice, I'm
now quite worried.  
        What is the name of the "great company who builds modular cedar play
structures?"    Since we haven't done the research to know what type of
play equipment we want, how can we put a figure in the budget now?  Can
you suggest a target $ figure, based on what your system cost?   Thanks.
