I had the pleasure of working the past couple of days with some great folks from our newest corporate sponsor, Olin Winchester. We are building a wheelchair ramp for a disabled veteran and his wife. We got it almost completed but ran out of deck boards (delivery error). Thanks to such an amazing crew and as always, thanks to the Agency for Community Transit and to Aidan for helping out also.
Fixed From Floor to Ceiling!
June 12th, 2023
So many people to thank on this project. Randy, Anya, Isaak, Aiden, Abraham and Ryan. We fixed a local senior’s ceiling that was falling down, painted the ceiling and walls, and ripped up the old, nasty carpet. Of course, under the old nasty carpet, was an old nasty floor that needed to be fixed in a lot of places before we could install new laminate flooring. Thanks to Randy for fixing the faulty light switch in the bathroom. It is turning out great and the homeowner loves it.

Veteran Break-in Repair (parts 1&2)
June 17th-18th, 2023
PART ONE:
Someone had broken through the front door to a senior veteran’s home while he was at the hospital, so we installed a new front door, matching deadbolts and locks for the front and back doors. Thanks to Karen for your help today.

PART TWO:
Veteran story part 2. We received a phone call early this morning from the veteran that we just put the new door and locks in his home. He said that his (occasional) roommate had died and the police had to kick in the front door to get into the house. He didn’t hear her come in because the new door was so quiet, and she must have locked it before she passed out (OD’d). He couldn’t get to the door in time before they kicked it in. Good news is that the door and locks worked perfectly, but the bad news is that we had to rebuild the frame. #veteransdeservebetter
