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.

Fictional gotta-read with garden restoration

22 years ago

Just got done reading a really involving, gossipy novel that towards the end happens to have one of its main characters restoring a garden in Georgia. The writer is a Yankee herself, but married a Southerner. Not a Southerner myself, I'll leave it to others to check it for authenticity. Anyway, it's a fantastic read.

*The Three Miss Margarets*, by Louise Shaffer
