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.

    Hello Brian Wenrick! Thank you for your question and interest! The rock wall was installed starting 2" off the floor allowing the concrete floor to move. Hope this was the answer you were looking to find. Let us know if you have any other questions and thanks again!
