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.

Question about the slab plank.

13 years ago
I have an old 2" natural slab board that we uncovered in my mid 1800's house that I want to use as a top for a half wall. How did you treat this wood, with an oil? How did you deal with the rough edges on it.
Thanks.
