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.

well i was given some pat austin cuttings and am currently trying three different methods, method #1 im taking two cuttings and putting them in quart pots in indirect sunlight and keeping them moist but not too wet Method#2 i put a cutting in a clear p[lastic cup sunk it in the ground and covered it with an opaque bottle cut in half in some shade on the northside of my house maybe an hour of early morning sun method #3 cutting in a quart pot put in larger empty pot and covered it with saran wrap again in indirect sunlight. i used a powdered root hormone with each method. not sure how these will do but wanted try some methods i saw to see which method works best for me hopefully i get one out of it all
