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.

    Check with your water provider to see if Chloramine is added to your water.

    If so, you will not be able to use your locally provided water for your African Violets, as Chloramine will ultimately kill your AV's.

    If your water provider uses Chloramine (as mine does), you can use purchased Spring water from your local grocer to water your AV's, ... or you can use rain water. I currently purchase grocery spring water at $.45 per gallon.
