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.

    Galinsoga parviflora perhaps? Nothing in the Eupatorium tribe seems to fit the leaves. It originates from Central America and Mexico, and it's not native to California. It's considered a weed in the places where it's been introduced, because it spreada quickly from seed. Herbalists use it for a variety of illnesses.
