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.

Voracious deer

20 years ago

I don't think I can express my anger and frustration enough.

This is usually the 'safe' time of year for plants. There is so much in the woods for deer to eat..multi-flora rose, raspberry, loosestrife, touch-me-nots...that the gardens are safe till Sept/Oct.

But even the plants that deer won't normally touch are being chomped: yucca, columbine, sedum.

I'm ready to buy a shotgun and a new freezer for all the venison.
