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.

    wow, thanks for the fast response! I'm contemplating building out something similar and wonder if it would feel odd to have to bend down a bit to use the closet. Seems like lots of people do it though.

    you get used to it if the eaves are the only space you have!

    I did something like this in my last house to utilize what would have been wasted space. Great for storing things that you don't need very often.
