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.

trying to make rain barrels in Indianapolis

18 years ago

Have any Indy-area folks found a good cheap source for drums/barrels for making rain barrels? Tried a few car washes, but they wouldn't sell their barrels ("Soap is too harsh to reuse them").

Thanks!
