Phyllis's House is done.

I'll never forget the night of the fire, Phyllis was so upset, there was no consoling her. I did keep telling her that I would rebuild her house better than she could ever believe. We started doing drawings and floor plans right away, we went through 10 different designs before nailing down this one. After all the insurance stuff was settled and the demo was done we added 4' to the width of the foundation, this gave us a 28 x 56 box to work with, we made a split entry open concept with a huge kitchen and living room area, the basement is fully finished, added 2 full bathrooms and made the house completely maintenance free. There is nothing to paint on the outside except the doors.

That's a 28 x 16 deck off the kitchen. We lived up there in the camper while under construction. I can't thank my friend Wayne McEwan enough for taking this on with me. He and I worked countless hours together day and night to complete this house in 9 weeks. I can't thank my company Commodore Builders enough for giving me the time off I needed to help my sister out. Maybe this is why God gave me the break in the ice so I could take care of my sister, who knows, but it's done and it is beautiful. She is the happy home owner I knew she would be the night of the fire.
She is having her open house today and I'm not there due to the knee surgery I had 2 days ago. I guess I can't take the 16 hr. days anymore. I ended up tearing some cartilage in my left knee but it was worth it. To see the excitement on my sister's face every day when she would come over and see something new done was priceless. God has blessed us
