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.

This stuff is hard

12 years ago

I have a ten acre prairie restoration that I have made very butterfly friendly by my own choice, even though I know absolutely nothing about the plight of the monarch, up until now. I've educated myself with as much as I could in the last month or so. I've had all kinds of cats over the last 3 weeks of watching, but very little success getting them to chrysalis stage. They just seem to get big and die.. I had one hanging for a day or so and happened to take a look and a maggot was working itself out of the cat ,killing it. I finally found my first chrysalis today. Hoping for the best.

Attending a monarch symposium on Friday!
