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.

Foot-tall stems with long thin leaves and purple flowers. Never noticed it before, but there are inch-long bean-like thingies that appear to contain seeds. Down near the creek.
