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.

Hidden Door?

7 years ago
My architect wants to put one in our office. My question is how do you keep all the stuff from falling off the shelves every time you use it? It's cool - just trying to decide if it's practical.

    We have had these on 1) a bedroom closet door and 2) a door leading into the attic. You will have to open fairly gently because things like picture frames can fall off. My books generally stayed put. Don’t put anything breakable if you are not on carpeting.
