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.

How do you vent/drain containers within containers?

17 years ago

I'm putting yogurt cups inside clear plastic bins with tight-fitting lids. I've got drainage holes in the cups, and vent holes in the plastic bin. Do I need to create more? Thanks.
