Looking for a few helpers to blow in the attic insulation

Thanks to everyone who helped with the drywall. There is just a tiny little bit left to do. The finishers will be starting on Monday the 22nd. The furnace has been hooked up. Being good stewards of our finances, we need to make sure that all of the insulation is in place before running the heater. This means that we need to blow the insulation into the attic. Dave Snyder would like to work with a few people to accomplish this task. Ideally, he would like to do this on Thursday (yes that is tomorrow) in the morning, or sometime on Friday. This certainly could be during the day. Would you have a few hours to work with him on Friday? If we can get this done, we will be essentially done with volunteers for the rest of December. It will take the finishers about 10 days to do what they need to do. If we can’t get it done on Friday, we’ll be calling for anyone who might be available on Saturday. This is fairly easy work – I am told.

If you have any time in your schedule, please call Dave directly at 217-491-5825.

Almost ready for Drywall finishing

We still need some help this Saturday to finish the little bit of drywall that needs to be hung. If we can get a good group together, we should be able to knock this out in no time. The drywall finishers are anxious to get started.

The gas service is now installed and we will soon have the heat we need for the finishers. If all goes well, they should be done in about a week. Then painting, interior doors, floor coverings, kitchen work and the many many small details that go into finishing a home will be all that stand between Brigitte and her new home.

Please come join us on Saturday at 8 AM. The work is indoors and will be warm !
Call me if you have any questions.
