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.

First Butterfly Sighting!

10 years ago

While working in my yard yesterday, I saw a red admiral sunning itself then fluttering around. That was April 3, about 60 miles west of Chicago. Am I correct in guessing this is about a month earlier than usual?
