Transforming a woodworking shop into a home



Stephanie, Collin and lots of other young people began by carrying out the wall board that was making way for drywall. A woodshop was being moved out so that Daniel, Sondra and little Simon could have a small apartment.
Mike is showing the walls and metal studs that are waiting to be covered by the new drywall. The apartment will consist of 2 bedrooms, a small kitchen, and a small living room. Daniel and Sondra were very excited to know that their own special space would soon be ready.

After the drywall had been hung, taped and mudded by our expert (David), the girls began the process of sanding the seams. Hailey almost has her nose covered!
Even though we didn't get to see this project from the beginning to the end, we knew another team was on the way to pick up right where we left off. The painting was completed by them and the family has moved into their new quarters. They were so thrilled to have a place to call home and we were thrilled to work with them to make it happen.
