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.

Insect 1. Me 0.

15 years ago

So, this small insect was flying around my AV grow lights. I decided "I'm gonna get him!" and off I go after the vacuum cleaner. As to why I wanted to get him, that is a long-winded story that can be summed up easily with the word "paranoia."

So there he was, and there I was with the vacuum.

He got away.

If I wasn't laughing so hard, I might be upset.

Insect 1. Me 0. AV -1.

Hoping everyone's day is filled with laughter!
