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.

new off bug repellant

17 years ago

Has anyone used the new clip-on bug repellant that you don't put on your skin? My two disabled children both *love* being outdoors, but they are more susceptible to bites b/c they aren't as mobile and don't swat at the bugs. Repellant on their skin, however, isn't always easy to clean off and one of them "mouths" his fingers often.

So, does this stuff work? Does it stink?
