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.

Mother Lode This AM

12 years ago

I have been collecting 5 gallon buckets from several local restaurants. They are food grade and are usually labeled "soy sauce".

This morning I went by new restaurant and picked up 62 buckets. They are food grade and say "whipped margarine". These are the square buckets.

Time to start making my SWC for next year. I love being able to expand on a budget.

I have over 120 buckets in my collection. Total cost- $ 9 for the first three.
