New porch and ramp !!

I affectionately call it “my” porch and ramp. Why?? Because I have to look at it from my living room windows. “We” labored on Wednesday, September 9th and Friday 11th. Torrential rain prevented progress on Thursday, 10th. ~~ Meet David Wolfe: Small man but strong as an ox. His business card says no job too large or too small. Six weeks ago he repaired my air-conditioner. Since then… he repaired a CARE resident’s air-conditioner AND built a roof over the porch for another. At last count, ten residents are on the list for repairs or new construction.

Below, see the way it appeared in earlier months, and days. A new resident couple arrived in March 2014–both with health problems. A porch and ramp was constructed to accommodate electric wheel chairs. Their physical limitations forced them to move to assisted living. The site was vacant for many months. New resident arrived… but deck and ramp did not conform to her trailer. David had a BIG job remodeling the earlier construction.
