The remodeling, now near

knocking out a wall to make
two small bedrooms into a
larger bedroom and an adjoin
ing bath, adding on a covered
deck, lowering a bedroom win
dow, adding a door to the out
side and enlarging other doors
in the house, building ramps
arid pouring a cement walk

through the renovation is to get

Kinzua pretty much footed the

eight to 10 hours on the job and
then come up almost every
night and put in another four
to five hours here. It's amazing
to see what's been done in such
a short tim e." Ed Struthers
says that the business com
munity has also been generous
in donating materials needed
for the job.
Dave Piper, Gary Watkins,
Gary Ball, Lowell Jones, Simon
Winters and Paul Sumner have
worked on the outside of the
house; Struthers, David All-

of work on the inside; and Rita
