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.

Question about sump pump in photo.

11 years ago
Are you collecting water in a barrel and then using the sump pump drainage to water your garden?

Thanks, Jacqueline Campbell

    We actually have two systems. This one comes directly from the sump pump and redirected into the garden. The other system is a soaker hose attached to a rain barrel which then waters some plants. We are working on a better placement for the hose but right now, functionality is trumping aesthetics.
