Interior Renovation

Proj #2449

Mancelona

The homeowner is a single mother of a teenage daughter, who both are currently living with friends while their mobile home is being renovated.  She maintains a job but is unable to complete the necessary repairs alone.  These renovations will give her and her daughter a modest, yet stable home to live in for years to come.  

Volunteers have already installed a membrane roof, re-sheeted the entire subfloor, and installed most of the flooring.  

Leaders and volunteers are needed to complete the following interior renovation tasks:

• Install a new kitchen

• Bathroom repairs including replacing the shower valve, installing a shower surround, vanity, and toilet.

• Replace an exterior door

• Inspect furnace for proper operation (experienced HVAC tech needed)

• Install base trim.

Benzonia

This project is to assist a single dad of two surviving children.  One of his daughters and her mother were killed in a car accident last year.  The clients' mother has been assisting him with care for his children, and in making arrangements for repairs to a home for them.  Volunteers have repaired the bathroom and laundry facilities, and reinforced the floor support system.  The kitchen and dining room is still in need of the repairs listed here:

• Sheet the subfloor (over the existing flooring)

• Replace a slider door and window (openings will need reframed)

• Basic electrical repairs/upgrade to accommodate kitchen.

• Insulate and hang drywall on one wall (no finishing required)

• Install linoleum flooring

• Install kitchen cabinets and countertops

Handicap Ramp

Proj #2547

Honor

This client is a retired, elderly man living with his wife, and  is currently bed bound from serious illness.  He was receiving hospice care, but miraculously has had enough of an improvement in health to be removed from hospice.  He is in need of a handicap ramp so he can attend physical therapy, and hopefully gain back some mobility.  This project is in need of a project leader and volunteers to construct the ramp per drawings.

Plumbing Repairs

Proj #2501

Kingsley

This project is for a family with 2 boys.  The father has done his best to maintain the home, but has some issues that are beyond his abilities.  Currently, there are some plumbing leaks in the bathroom in desperate need of repair.  This family is in need of a volunteer or two with some plumbing experience who are willing to:

• Remove toilet, repair flange, and reset the toilet

• Replace the shower valve (back side accessible from stair well)

Membrane Roof

Proj #2507

Kings Court mobile park, Traverse CIty

This project is for a working single woman living in King’s Court park.  This is an older single wide mobile home with a leaking roof.   She has personally made several repairs to the interior of the home and has attempted to patch the roof herself.  However the roof continues to leak which will ruin the repairs she has already made.  The roof has two sections that can be tackled independently, and there is already a crew able to tackle one part.  This project is still in need of a crew leader and volunteers to tackle the other portion of the membrane roof.   

Furnace Inspection

Proj # 2541

First Point mobile park, Elmwood Twp, Leelanau Co.

A complete renovation to this home by dozens of volunteers has allowed this hard working family to have a home of their own, after sharing a small mobile home with another family.  One last piece of the puzzle still exists:  the existing furnace is in need of an inspection from a knowledgeable HVAC tech.  This will ensure that this family has a safe heating source for the upcoming winter.
