The siding on the outside of the mobile home has been ripped off and she has been cited by code enforcement. She needs someone to help her put new siding back on her mobile home. Install 3 siding panels 20ft and 2 siding panels 15 ft. Lowes sells these panels 10ft for $13 and you would need 9-10 of them. She also had half of her roof rip off from the hurricanes and had a handyman reattach it but it leaks every time it rains.

The damaged roof has cause water to enter her mobile home and damaged her ceilings ( 2 holes). She needs a group to repair her ceiling. One drywall or sheetrock and some mud should be enough to repair her ceiling. Lastly her A/C needs to be inspected because it running but little to no air is flowing out of the floor vents. She may just need an air duct cleaning but doesn't know. She paid for an A/C company to service but they didn't fix or give her a report on what the problem was. If you know an trustworthy A/C company that can inspect her A/C unit and air ducts to give a report or even do the work for this Vet that would be a blessing!

Miss Webber was referred by Code Enforcement due to her falling fence. You can see items leaning against her fence and she sells things online for income. Our Evaluator says her fence can be rebuilt but it would need to be done as you go... Materials 2X4X8 and 4X4X8 posts and fence panels to fill gaps of around 40-50ft which is about 5-6 panels. It's estimated that 3 volunteers could complete in a day if the panels were at the house. The bamboo and brush would need to be cut back and all the items leaning against the fence brought to center backyard. There is an empty field by the house. Beyond the fence Miss Webber is suffering with leaking sinks in her kitchen and bathroom. She has the water off in those areas. The kitchen needs a p-trap and if possible a double sink, the bathroom needs a new faucet with it leaking at the shut off valve. You can see in the pictures the status and that there has been a lot of caulk to seal the leaks. We estimate that 2-3 volunteers can resolve this in 3-4 hours. This would be an excellent project for a group of 8-10 to take on and help this woman in need.

City code enforcement told Miss Cara that her oak tree needs to be cut back, away from the sidewalk. She lost her job and was told to cut back the tree would be $1,000. She told me, with a heavy heart, that her home is know for having two different colors and is a landmark as the two toned house when given directions. For this project the yard will need extensive cleaning to be completed before the house is painted at a later date. All items going to the trash can be gathered and placed along the street for pickup, there will need to be 3 separate piles (anything not going to the street will be marked by the owner ). 1. debris 2. trash bags with weeds and trimmings 3. Large tree trimmings. The yard clean up along the fence should include weed whacking (2 weed whackers minimum) small invasive trees/shrubs to be cut away from the fence and house (several large pruners and small chain saw will be needed. The tree has very large branches hanging down blocking the sidewalk and yard, the large branches can be cut back a little at a time using a power pole chain saw keeping volunteers safe. (no ladder is needed as these branches hang very low) I would have 2 chain saws for cutting the branches into smaller pieces. A wheel barrel will make it easier to haul the wood to the street. Yard work will take estimated 8-10 volunteers 4-5 hours.
