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.

Package

10 years ago

When you get home and find out the mail lady did not leave your package at the door step but left a slip to pick up at the post office! And of course it's Friday, so I have to wait til Monday! :( waiting for these exact plants!

    Guess we're lucky in that respect living here in the rural areas. We tend to be on first name terms with our postie and they will put the packages in the g/h or leave with a neighbour with a card through the letterbox. Saves many an 8 mile trip :-) If they've been grown healthily and packaged appropriately, I'm sure they will be ok till Monday if the PO isn't open today.

    The obligatory pics once all nicely potted up is a must you realise!
