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.

When I walk in the door tonight

13 years ago

I'll see my nearly-finished kitchen for the first time. DH and I have been on vacation this week, and the GC has been finishing things up because he's going on vacation next week. I've seen the cabinets, counters, and new windows, but not the backsplash, lights, hood, open shelves, pantry shelves, and a bunch of other little stuff. Oh, and most of the appliances will be working too. The flight from SF to Chicago will never have taken so long!
