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.

Sharing a tip....

17 years ago

A little something I just do and don't really think about but it may be of help to others.


When threading sewing machine needle, after thread is thru the eye a little or a lot, press finger on side of needle and the thread will not come out in case thread sticks to a finger or accidentally gets pulled on.

Flesh of finger wraps around and holds thread next to the needle.

I hate when the thread accidentally gets pulled out of the needle.
