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.

Always learning even when without electricity

4 years ago

My college freshman granddaughter came by with 3 friends and delivered a nice ”Sorry about you having no power” basket. And an invite to stay in the dorms with them (offer declined, we are comfortable).


Its fun just listening and learning. Who knew that University of Alabama coeds are considered to be the epitome of fashion for young adults, this from Florida girls. And who knew that these shoes are the current ’big thing’. Even they think they are overpriced. And stupid. Especially when they learned that I try to keep my shoe of choice, white Keds slipons, brand new looking. Yes, they still like already ripped jeans.


Here’s the Golden Goose, which is really a golden egg for the designer. Note that they come already scuffed so you don’t have to scuff them yourself.





But! I found a Sale!

    I sent the actual basket (wicker type rectangular) back to school with the ladies, should have taken a picture. I‘m sure they did, they are 18 and document everything, I’ll check.


    It contained packaged snacks. Already popped pop corn, chips, Snickers (my favorite), crackers, AND a power pack (battery thing) for my phone. Our grandson has taken that to his house to charge, he still has power.


    (granddaughter’s mother, our daughter, bought the power pack. The girls picked up the snacks on their way over to deliver it.)


    Sweet group of people.
