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.

First time project

19 years ago

I has no idea what I was doing... just read alot of your postings and forged ahead. I enlarged a clip art picture of a seahorse because it is my kid's swim team mascot. I plan to hang it at the swim club just for the season. BIG MISTAKE is .. I did this right on a piece of thin Luan ply wood and forgot to put a haning fixture on the back. Im thinking of putting two equal size blocks on the back with something like liquid nails so I can drill or pre-drill holes to hang a wire or something. I also am trying out the paint & bake tiles on the body of the seahorse because I couldnt find tiles in those colors. Well see if they hold up ... now to post a picture hmmmmm
