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.

too much water

20 years ago

I'm making some tufa and it's in the water bath right now. I took it out today to carve them and they were heavier then I thought they should be. They dripped a lot of water, more then they usually do. They seem to have absorbed a lot of water. Is that suppose to happen ?
