Way-FM/ Single Mom Project

Saturday, June 29th found a group of total strangers working at the home of single mom who had won a home fix up from Way-FM. We were all volunteers who wanted to make a difference in the life of this much deserving woman even though we had never met her.
 Her Deck was peeling and needed help. So a group of us attacked her deck while another group pained woodwork inside the house. Later, we removed a snow, damaged shed and my darling husband installed a light and medicine cabinet in her powder room, even though it was not on the to do list.
We rollered the deck.
My son, Joshua, was so excited to actually get to use power tools. We installed all new lattice beneath the deck.
 We painted the newly installed lattice to match the newly painted deck. It was a lot of work and there were so many of us working that it went quickly.
The finished deck. Doesn't it look nice? We couldn't replace it with all new lumber, so there are some warped boards, but it sure looks a lot better. There is always such a great feeling of accomplishment for a job well done.
