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.

Recycled Planter

17 years ago

This is a box in my front gardens from last yr....I moved it to the bird sanctuary pergola/arbor last Fall when we had to have our huge maple trees removed.

Here is it's new location with a Junco bird during April Spring Day snowstorm:

And here's the replacement found out in junk yesterday...it's an old metal tub from photo darkroom supplies...I spray painted it a creamy color and then stenciled it with spray paint. The stencil was a clearance from Hobby Lobby...it was made of felt so I duct-taped it on...I like the results & in a couple weeks will be planting in it. Then, hopefully, it will look as good as the old wood box...it's about the same size. Jeanne S.
