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.

Unexpected freebie

20 years ago

I started my Christmas decorating today and bought some white pine roping to hang on the deck. As I was uncoiling it, I noticed something stuck to the needles. Turns out it was a praying mantiss egg case!! Guess what went right straight out to the veggie garden! Neat, huh?
