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.

    This is Western Red Cedar with a clear sealer. The material had a chance to loose some of the pink prior to sealing.

      How long did you let the wood weather before sealing it?

      As I recall it was a few weeks, however we had some rain. If you hose the material down every day it weathers quite quickly.
