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.

Zinc Strips and slugs

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

I found a 50 ft roll 3 inches wide of zinc strip for $20. If I recall somewhere on here it is used around hosta to deter slugs. Has anyone had any positive results using it?
