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.

    Ah, I see. It looked to me like there was water in it and I thought you may be growing some talapia or something like that. Very cool.
