THIS IS THE 1ST STEP TO PREPPING FOR THE CONCRETE SLAB TO ACCOMODATE MY WHEELCHAIR TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND ALSO THE FAMILY ROOM ON THE MAIN LEVEL. THE CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS IS PAYING FOR THE HOME REMODIFICATIONS TO HANDICAP OUR HOUSE TO ACCOMADATE MY NEEDS.THE CONTRACTORS WILL BE PUTTING IN THE CONCRETE 1ST. THEY TORE DOWN THE FENCE AND GATE AND THEY ARE REPLACING IT WITH A SWINGING GATE AND A REGULAR GATE THAT IS HANDICAPPED SIZE, AFTER THE CONCRETE IS DRIED THE NEW GATE/FENCE WILL GO IN ON FRIDAY. THEN THE SLINDING GLASS DOOR IN THE KITCHEN AND FAMILY ROOM WILL BE REPLACED WITH AN INSULATED WALL AND HANDICAP SIZE DOOR IN BOTH ROOMS, THEN AFTER THAT IS DONE THEY WILL TEAR DOWN THE SMALL DECK AND PUT IN A LARGER DECK WITH A LIFT FOR THE POWER WHEELCHAIR SO I CAN GO FROM ONE LEVEL TO THE OTHER FROM THE OUTSIDE AND TO THE CAR THE PROJECT CANNOT BE DONE FROM INSIDE DUE TO THE LAYOUT OF THE HOUSE. I AM THRILLED THIS IS THE WORK WE WANTED TO DO TO THE HOUSE WHEN WE HAD THE RESOURCES SINCE IT IS COSTLY BUT NOW IT IS BEING DONE AT NO COST TO US SINCE I AM DISABLED AND QUALIFIED FOR THE HOME REMODIFICATION PROJECT. AFTER THAT IS ALL COMPLETED ALL WE HAVE LEFT TO DO IS HAVE SOMEONE COME IN AND LEVEL THE BACK YARD SO THE 7 PERSON HOT TUB CAN BE INSTALLED OUTSIDE ALONG WITH THE 20FT IN DIAMETER BY 4 FT DEEP POOL. ALL SHOULD BE DONE IN TIME FOR SUMMER SO THE KIDS CAN ENJOY THE POOL AND WE CAN ENJOY THE HOT TUB. THEN AFTER THAT WE CAN LAY THE GRASS DOWN AND BUILD OUR FIRE PIT FOR CAMPFIRES AND A BARBEQUE PIT AND STILL HAVE TONS OF ROOM LEFT. WE ALSO HAVE TO INSTALL THE DOG RUN BUT NOT UNTIL AFTER ALL PROJECTS ARE COMPLETED. I WILL UPDATE AS THE PROJECTS MOVE ALONG FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.
