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.

Whatever happened to 'it'?

20 years ago

"I love when that happens." "I hate when the clerk ignores me."

At first I thought they were typographical errors, but I'm now seeing this everywhere. Where has the subject gone? When did the subject disappear? Who stole the subject? Why? And last, but not the least of my puzzlement, do people *really* talk like that???
