Last Projects for 2016

Bob, R oland, Ron and Bruce met at Betty's residence and helped by Kevin accomplished a considerable amount.  We removed and retired a very tired sliding glass door and replaced it with an energy star double hung window. We also sealed and patched problem areas of the roof, hopefully successfully. We sanded joint compound and installed inside trim on the window.   

John and Kelly showed up at noon with a gastronomic extravaganza for our lunch.  All in all, a successful day.  We'll be back in the spring to repair/replace some windows.

Lisa, over 70 and not able to get around well, had leaky pipes in 1-2 places and water on her floor. She called plumbers and others, including the guy who built her log cabin.  He assessed the problem but couldn't give her the time needed to repair it. Lisa tried everyone she could think of to get help, but with no success whatsoever. When she called us, Lisa had been without water for weeks, her shower control leaked, her kitchen faucet leaked so badly she had to shut it off altogether, and both toilets leaked.  A truly desperate woman and a perfect plumbing storm. 

Our NEK Habitat team arrived and in the course of a few hours the line to the spring was purged and water was flowing freely to the house, the bathroom lavatory had its screen cleaned, the downstairs toilet had a part replaced and no longer leaked, the shower was operational, and Lisa was happy and relieved.  She could at last shower, wash clothes, even flush the toilet without filling it with a bucket first.
