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.

Snails and slugs

12 years ago

Some have asked questions about infestation with snails and slugs. Maybe someone has posted the same thing I'm about to suggest, but it WORKS!

Put flat beer in a "low to the ground" container. Wait overnight.

Snails and slugs love the stuff. They go for it, dive in, get drunk and die. Never fails.
