Status report

Here it is, just one month after this village opened for volunteers. So that all who have been here can appreciate what has been accomplished we are summarizing where each project stands.

Joan's house: All rooms have been painted, with the exception of the bathrooms. Vinyl floor tile has been installed in the living and kitchen areas. Bathrooms have been tiled, tub surrounds and floor. All missing or broken glass has been replaced. Windows and window trim has been painted. Window sills are installed and painted. Kitchen and laundry room cabinets have been installed. The electricians have installed the fixtures, recepticles, and switches. This house is close to being finished; remaining to be completed are counter tops, bathroom fixtures, baseboard, back (french) doors, and appliances.

Annie Mae's house: The windows are all installed, with the exception of the bathroom window. Caulking and priming have been completed. The plumbing and AC rough-ins have been completed by contractors. The electrical rough in is mostly complete. Facia boards have been installed around some 60% of the house. Volunteer participation seems to have been fairly slim and thus progress is slow.

Robin's house: We are down to a short list of work to be done on this house. The porch railings still need to be installed. Kitchen counters have been installed, but some finish work still needs to be done on the cabinets. There are some "punch list" type of items that need to be taken care of. We hope to complete this house by mid-November.

Ken's house: The last visit to this house was just this past Monday. Another group was continuing to finish some of the drywall. The construction manager indicated they hoped to prime the walls and ceiling before the week was over.
