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.

Great source of free compost material

15 years ago

I dropped by the local grocery store today and they were only too happy to let me take all the corn husks and silk from their "shucking station" trashcan. I dropped it in my backyard composter earlier today. Might be worth looking into if you are looking for more compost-worthy material.
