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.

Retirement gift suggestions

22 years ago

We're trying to find a nice gift for our retiring librarian. Newburgh area. Approximately $60 to spend. She has part shade and sun, a high rocky wall, and that's about all I know of her landscape. She likes hydrangeas for cutting and drying, but, doesn't especially like gardening. (Translation -- weeding). No high-maintenance plants. Any thoughts?
