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.

Heads up, wormies....mass evacuation!

12 years ago

Last night I had a pretty severe evacuation from at least one bin, and maybe two, of a lot of worms.

No changes had been made to the bins in several days. No food added, or moisture, or bedding.

The only thing changed: I had put some sheets of cardboard underneath the bins the previous day just as a place to store them. When I discovered the worms all over the place today they were all on those cardboard sheets.

My guess: 500 worms still living and about 50 dried up dead. Did the worms leave the bins attracted to the cardboard?

All I can say is the bins weren't in any way evacuation-worthy. And, I've not had any evacuations in about 15 years or more.

Anyway, I removed the cardboard sheets, salvaged the escapees, and am watching what happens.
