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.

    The color is natural, not a paint.
    The walls are made of rammed earth, the earth being from a quarry in the Napa area.
    And, no the house is not at Filoli Gardens, but thank you for the complement.
