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.

What type of cord is used across the front? Is it stretchy? I was wondering how well it works and if the kids are able to easily put away their own books.
