FEBRUARY 17, 2006; PICTURES OF THE HOUSE AS IT WAS WHEN BOUGHT

Recreation Room: In the upstairs of the house, there is a large recreation room, a fourth bedroom/office and a full bath. There were drawings/writings on the walls and holes where metal shelving had hung. The floor had VCT which had seams that did not match after the third roll of tile and got worst as the installation crossed the floor.

Second Bedroom: The master bedroom and two other bedrooms are located on the main floor of the house. The walls of the second bedroom were painted in a light color of orange. About two-thirds of the carpet had been cut out and what was left was very dirty. This was to become Hawk's bedroom.

Kitchen: The kitchen floor was covered in a cheap, fake material that was suppose to look like hardwood. The seams were gaped and curled open. The lower cabinets had been covered in bead board. The upper cabinet doors were painted a barn yard red and the lower cabinet doors were painted a grass green.

Master Bedroom: The carpet had been removed and replaced with a distasteful color of VCT. The seams and joints were uneven. The edges had curled up all across the room. Bead board had been added to two walls. Hardwood flooring had been put down in the bath. It was water stained. We thought that there would probably be sub-floor damage below.

Repainting had been started in many of the rooms but never completed. There were overlaps of the roller on the ceilings.

The den carpet had been removed and a type of fake hardwood put down. The molding was not reinstalled. The flooring was gaped open and curled up in many places. The ceiling had a black ring where the fireplace had been burned with the ceiling fan on.

Repainting of the front door had been started. The back deck was covered with a foot of leaves, badly stained with mildew and covered with trash. The roof and the siding of the house were badly mildewed. The front driveway had two large mud holes the size of small ponds. The out building was filled with trash.

The work detail of volunteers on Saturday, 2/4/06, removed all the flooring in the entire house, the wallpaper that had been started in the kitchen, and all the bead board for the master bedroom, the den and the kitchen cabinets. The make over was ready to start.
