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.

Cure for the Bug Invasion

14 years ago

This is Magellan, 103lbs. of rompin', stompin', death, and destruction and he's always hungry. Pretty katydids with a good Burgandy wine are just an appetizer for this big guy.

{{gwi:191145}}

36" tall, 35" long, and 19" wide.

Made from 2 plow shares, 4 spider gears, 1 rake head, 2 brake rotors, 4 engine connecting rods, 10 push rods, 3 misc. gears and RR pikes.

My back starts hurting every time I look at him.
