BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING - LCC BUILD TEAM IS WORKING WONDERS!

The LCC Build Team is working wonders locally this week as they change the life (and house) of a  78 year-old widow that has spent days on end volunteering at Bluffton Self-Help.  As she has served others, her house has fallen into great disrepair. 

This week it has been our great privilege to radically upgrade her house and give her a safe, remodeled home.  Additionally, Covert Air is volunteering their services and equipment to give her all new heating and air conditioning systems.  Isn't that awesome?  In this post, we are showing you a few "before" pictures as we work to:

 

-Repair rotten exterior wood

- Rewire electrical (interior and exterior)

-Paint exterior

-Build and screen-in front porch

- Install motion sensor lights around exterior

- Landscape and correct drainage issues

-New kitchen counters, sink, and repaint cabinets

- New interior doors and door handles

-New vinyl floors

-New bathroom toilet and flooring

-Roof repair

-Brush and tree removal

- and on and on….

All this is possible because of the skills and hard work of the LCC Build Team, YOUR generous giving and a God who provides and cares for His people.  Much of the material has been donated (for which we are very grateful),  but YOU gave all the rest when you give at LCC.  Thank you!  Stay tuned for some "after" photos next week.
