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.

My little cactus

10 years ago

When we got our house about 6 years ago there was a Sycamore tree in the back corner. We had the tree removed because the septic company erroneously told us our drain field was next to the tree. Under the tree was a cactus that was about 4 feet tall and doing poorly. We saved it anyway. So this is it now. It is an Argentine something or other. Night blooming. The dark and dank morning due to Collin has allowed the flowers to stay open. For reference the fence is 6 foot tall.
