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.

    Cover/Lid is made of rusting (carbon) steel, which comes from the factory "shining" and starts rusting when it gets out of the box. Usually this natural process takes couple weeks. Curonian Deco products are made of high quality metal and rusting process may take up to two months. Rusting process would start faster by dipping a cover into salted water.
