Georgina and her four girls lived with her sister’s family about a mile away from the property where their new family home now sits.  She was working, but could not get the resources together to support the girls in school and turn the 20′ x 10′ plywood-clad former market storefront into a suitable home.  She had electricity available on site, so a power pole and disconnect was installed by the team while doing the concrete work for the new addition.  A waste water tank was installed to facilitate the new shower and toilet, located in what was going to be simply a “breezeway” area between the old building and the new 22′ x 11′ house.  A little quick planning and a few extra bags of concrete, plus a few more feet of walls, and we were able to marry the two buildings together, creating a single, fully roofed, fully stuccoed, and fully secure home for this beautiful family.
