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.

Garden Snail

18 years ago

Here is a picture of a garden snail I did this winter. I started with a small cement snail that I first painted grey, and then added a pink pearlized topping over the grey. Then I added the irridescent tiles and used black beads for the shell. I think he would look cute among the hosta in a garden! The only kind of snail that might be welcomed!
