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.

Fun pumpkin fact!

12 years ago

Did you guys know that historically, putting a pumpkin on your porch meant that you were wealthy? It showed the neighbors that you were so well off that you could use a nutritious food item for decoration rather than sustenance. I thought that was cool, and it makes complete sense! Funny when you think about how traditions start!
