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.

tempera paint

17 years ago

I asked this question on the tole painting site, but things seem to be slow there. What exactly is tempera paint? What is it used for and how is it different from acrylic paints? Thank you.
