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.

    It will hold a light mist but anything other than that drips through then dries when the sun comes out

    I live in the coastal southeastern region and recently sewed drapes made of drop cloths on my screened porch. They lasted about one month before blowing rain and high humidity produced mildew that did not respond to bleaching. I have placed an order for Sunbrella drapes today.
