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.

Those looking for rain barrels

19 years ago

Hey just saw this in my local newspaper thought I would pass it on.

Ace hardware in Lilburn,(5355 Five Forks Trickum) has a gentleman there that turns 55 gallon trash cans into rain collectors. He cuts a hole in the lid for the downspout and puts on a spigot. I guess you could do this on your own, but they are selling them for 29.99 without the hassle.
