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.

Darn it, almost perfect!

10 years ago

I was so excited about this Firefighter bloom, it looked so perfect, then yesterday after it began to open an insect decided it liked it too! Another bloom next to it had been chewed through before it opened, and I thought, "oh well, at least I'll have one good one!" The insect had a different idea though!

    I hate it when that happens! The colour and shape of your rose are beautiful though.
