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.

Back from the Mountains in New Mexico

19 years ago

We just returned from a vacation in Ruidoso, New Mexico. I had not been there in several years, and had forgotten how many hummingbirds are there in the summer. It was so fun to watch them swarm and fight over the feeders and flowers. Those Rufous ones are particularly aggressive. Anyway, back to hot Texas and my ruby-throated hummers!
