One month ago today I met a woman whose husband had suffered a stroke and had been in the hospital over a month. She desperately needed an accessible bathroom in the downstairs of her home in order to bring her husband home.
Although we are extremely busy I was able to ask some customers to let me push back their jobs in order to take care of this immediate need.
We were able to get to it right away. Turning the dining room in to a bedroom. Adding bi fold doors at the entrance, building a closet, and pushing the half bath 4’ into the new bedroom in order to add a shower.
In the bathroom we added a pocket door, level entry shower, grab bars, accessible plumbing fixtures, lighting, and we moved the toilet and sink plumbing. Installing a pedestal sink in order for a wheelchair to roll up. We also painted and in the new bedroom added crown mold and chair rail on the new walls in order to match the existing.
We were able to complete this in 2 weeks so that our new friend would have a nice, accessible, functional bathroom and bedroom for her now physically challenged husband.
I’m so grateful for a great team and also that we’re able to make a living while also helping people in need.
It is certainly a ministry of provision.
And yes, we have another happy customer!
