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.

Oh those dastards!

11 years ago

I'm growing some peanut pumpkins in a dog pen, but some will escape. This guy was hanging on the outside--looked okay to me.


Then I looked at the back......


Fortunately, the deer hate the sticker weeds growing on the east side of the pen.


This guy is bigger than any in the pen so I have high hopes. Oh, and in case you're wondering the dastards are a herd of deer that visit my garden a few times a day.
