Update

While the 2009 Home Make Over is over...it's not quite over. There have been a few loose ends that needed to be tied up.


Let me tell you about our Septic System - we were told that we needed to update the septic lines - so we were able to get the cost of the Health Department's permit donated by a local non-profit organization. We then had the HD come out and tell us exactly what supplies we would need. And then we put it on the back burner for a week b/c we needed to really concentrate on getting the house finished out.


The other day, we had to call Ensley Septic who had already offered to donate the labor for updating the lines. They had been given a copy of the supply list and we lost our copy. We spoke with them on the phone, and asked them about the list of supplies. Their response? Don't worry about the supplies, we're going to provide those too.

What an amazing blessing! The septic system has now been updated to accomodate the number of people coming in and out of that house.

Now that the septic system has been taken care of, we need to lay the sod. We had planned for a work day this past Saturday, but with the weather we had to cancel it. Hopefully we'll be able to get out there soon and get that taken care of.

I haven't been out to the house in a couple of days, but we were also waiting on some plumbing aspects to be taken care of and the bathroom sinks to be put in. We would also like to do a few other little odds and ends to 'finish' completely.

Cat Country's video is up on our page and we are working on getting ours - we had a few technical difficulties so I'm patiently waiting. :) I'm also working on updating our list of vendors/donors so you will have all their names, phone numbers and websites at the click of a button. I'm praying that I can get it caught up this week. We truly cannot thank these businesses enough. If you have any work in your home that needs to be done, we hope and encourage you to call them. They have gone above and beyond, been honest, and given us great advice. Please make sure you visit them.

So again...while the 2009 Home Make Over is over...we are tieing up all the loose ends. Next month, in January, we will actually begin looking into our 2010 project. We have big plans in store - so please keep checking back. We will continue to update this site with all the information. If you'd like to get involved for next year, please email us at info@seven22.org. We would love to get you plugged in.

Best,
Jen
