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.

fruit flies

16 years ago

Do NOT use ammonia. On anything. It's severely toxic to people and to the environment. They are friggen fruit flies, put away the nukes. The vinegar thing sounds fine, or plug the drains when you go to sleep. The season will be over soon, then he gross things will disappear. (and when ammonia is mixed with other chemicals, ie bleach, it releases deadly fumes)
