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.

Buying cacti from overseas during the winter?

7 years ago

There is this cactus I want and it’s overseas but, I’m worried if I ordered it that it will die from the cold before it gets to me. Has anyone done this before and how did it work out?
