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.

Is pool water good/bad/indifferent for gardens?

10 years ago

I have a neighbor that drains off the excess pool (from rain) water into the street. I wonder if I could have him route the water to my beds.

Yes? No?
