This home has an elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt, are battling health issues and have a friend (blind) that is staying with them. Mr. Wyatt was battling covid for several months which caused them to fall behind in the bills and upkeep at their home. The city code enforcement informed them they need to repair their homes soffit, paint the roofs eves, and porch or they will be fined every month. You can see in the pictures some area need the wood secured, replaced, or new pieces of wood installed. Once the wood repair is completed we asses that the soffit needs to be painted.

Mr. Raymond is blind and 84 years old. He shuffles to walk in his mobile home but struggles to in his kitchen because there are holes in it and lines that cause the floor to be uneven. Small 96 X 108 inch floor space in the kitchen need to be refloored to have an even smooth surface so Mr. Raymond can move safely. We believe that what will work best will be to prepare the floor and remove what is needed to then cut and install linoleum flooring. We estimate 2-3 volunteers can finish this in 4 hours.

Mr. Wolff works and McDill Air Force Base and is frustrated that the City Code Enforcement gave him violations. He can't afford a contractor and not really sure what he is going to do. Take a look at the pictures below because we know a small group of volunteers can help bring his house back to a look that will relieve him of the violations. The violations is the dirt, mildew, algae, on the side of the house and fascia is a violation. As well as some wood deteriorating. The work would be to pressure wash the house to remove dirt and mold. Get wood plastic patch for a few minor holes and then white minor paint touch ups for the border. If a group wants to also knock out the front yard that would be a blessing! The backyard is a later job Mr. Wolff is going to have someone tackle and wants to resolve the Code Violations. He will be out of town until Sept 30th assisting his mothers health and welcomes volunteers to do the project before but there will be no toilets available on the property.

You will see on the pictures below a crack on her ceiling hat needs to be mudded, sanded, and repainted. There is also a skylight hole that needs to be filled with a cut of sheetrock or dry wall.

Ms. Dina is a disabled woman who just received a mobility scooter to help her get around more easily. However, she has not been able to bring it into her house as she only has steps leading into her mobile home. She needs a ramp built. She has also been told by the MHP that her home needs to be pressure washed and painted (approx. 900 sf) The 3rd project is her flooring was damaged during Hurricane Milton and need to be replaced. She only has sub flooring and some of it needs to be repaired. We told her that is a project that we normally can't do because of the skillset needed, but it depends on the skills of the volunteers. This project can be eliminated from the scope of work if you don't have the skillset to do it. It would be a blessing to have the other two projects done. It would take approximately 5 hours and 5 volunteers to complete the (2) projects- we did not include the flooring in this estimation since we don't normally do that.

It only has an upper track. The flooring is stone so will need a heavy duty drill to put a bottom track in. But if that cannot be done, then fix the upper track so the doors will stay on it. It is loose so they fall off. This will take approximately 2-3 volunteers about 3 hours to complete this project.
