My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Using old lumber??

20 years ago

We have a stack of old lumber on our property that looks like it may have been from a porch. It is partially painted. Is there any way to safely use this to build a raised garden bed for vegetables?
