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.

Stupidest newbie around

18 years ago

Uggh! I've been fighting some bug issues on my plants, pretty sure it's something similar to a potato beetle. After hand squishing hundreds of bugs and larvae, I went to stronger methods, spraying with what I thought was insect control for vegetables. My bug problems are progressively getting worse, these things are spreading fast and taking down more plants, and I had to leave town for a week. I just got back and decided to do another round of spraying and when I went to mix up a new batch, I realized I've been spraying them with Ortho Garden Disease Control which apparently only takes care of fungus. No wonder my bug problems kept getting worse! I feel like such an idiot.
