Signs around town

Signs around town to welcome Bailey home.......thank you all!!!



Bailey Pool....coming soon!

On a warm day in July 2010, a crew came out to take down Bailey's pool she received from the Make-a-Wish Foundation. She only got to use the pool one time, before she broke her arm......
We had to take down the pool to make room for the house. So, I called a friend of mine, Mike Mize, who used to work in the pool business. He called a couple friends, and when everyone arrived, we had plenty of hands!


A big thanks to Mike and his son Alex, for coming out, along with Chandler, Bruce, Derrick, Dwayne Chandler, Joel Fletcher, and Randy Kircher for being a part of our Team!!!
Of course, as many visits before, we found a frog while the fellas were working!

Now that the house is done, Spring will bring work to the outside of the house. And this summer will bring putting the pool back up! So, until that time, I thought it would be nice for Bailey to have a sign to look at to know that her pool will be back soon! Sara Foreman and her talents created this great sign that we put in a bucket filled with sand outside her sliding kitchen door. Sara even had a great idea to put a removeable 'coming soon' sign on there, so she can use it after the pool is up! Thanks Sara for donating your time and beautiful talents!!

Bailey's room

Welcome to Bailey's new room! This was such a fun room to put together! Bailey chose the colors for her room and picked our her bedding, but that's all she knew about it! Sara Foreman made this beautiful sign we hung on her door-thanks Sara!!!
After the room was painted by Shelley Greenwood and her special friends, we had Sheryl Polley come and write the words on the wall-this is what Gabbie and Bailey always said to each other......

Then we hung a picture the girls had taken together before Bailey left, under the words.

Then it was time to get trim, and other things done! Thankfully we have some great people on our team!!! Rob Perkins, John Milligan, Jon Plain, Josh Milligan, Dave Schrock, Bill Tuttle, Kevin Johnson and his neighbor came out a few times to get all the trimming, and closet door hanging done! We appreciate you all soooooo much!!!!!!!
The day the girls and teachers came to paint Bailey's room (see older post for this), they did a special project.....they each created a canvas to hang in Bailey's room. They could draw a picture, write an inspirational word, or do whatever they decide. Aunt Jessica hung them beautifully over her closet so she can see them each day!
We bought a closet system for Bailey's closet since there probably wouldn't be room for a chest of drawers. My sister, Angie, and Connie helped put it together and it looked great! Thanks to Jan Nickell and her family for providing the cute green bins!
We were very blessed that Dr. Bret Jerger and his family donated the bed and 2 cute blue chairs for Bailey's room. They belonged to his daughter and she was remodeling her room and thought they would be great for Bailey-and they were right!!!
There were a few pieces to put together......but no problem for our crew! Grandpa Bruce modeling her new bed-very cool!!! Thanks to the Nichols, Beavers, McCoy, and the Maley family for donating items for the bedroom and bathroom! We appreciate you all so much!!!!
We put the cute blue chairs in and added a few extras...adorable for sure!!!

The blinds throughout the house were donated and installed by Phil Tapscott and his son. They just brighten each room and are very sturdy. But, the most important thing is they are easy to clean and seem to not attract dust! Yeah!!! Thank you so much for being part of our Team!

Now to the bathroom that Chandler will share with Bailey.......
John Milligan came up with a design called a 'skirt' for the bathroom. If Bailey needs to be in her scooter, she will be able to easily move around and close up to the sink without a problem. A crew from S. A. Lewis built it and came out and installed it for us. Thank you so much!!!


Then our great plumbing group came in to finish up! Aunt Jessica added the final touches, Phil and his son put up the blinds, and Jon and John hung the nice mirror from Poland Glass! What a team!!!

Front Porch of house/garage


After our front porch was poured and ready, we needed a little personality! Brush Enterprises came and put an adorable white rail on-thanks soooo much!!!!

Then Connie's husband, Mitch and his brother, put up the numbers for the house.
A great volunteer worker, Dave Schrock, came and put up shudders, and finished outside trim for us! We sure appreciated him!!!!
I just had to take this picture the night after all of our unpacking boxes from everything we purchased for the home....beds, coffee maker, etc. We threw them all outside, then our special friend Tammy Marshall came and got everything for us! We apprecite you and your family soooo much Tammy!!!!

Then it was time to give Bailey's garage some shelving for storage. On one trip, family members brought this pile of items and we knew we needed shelves! So, Bailey's Aunt Jessica and Uncle Cody got busy putting up the shelving units.

And now, everything has a shelf until it's time to unpack the box!

Kitchen

The kitchen was a project done by many people and businesses; the cabinets were built and installed by Galka with wood we provided for them, the countertops were donated and installed by Tony Romano and his builders, the sink and disposal were donated and installed by UA/MCAA local plumbers #65 and local contractors - Burdick Plumbing and Heating, King Lar, and Nogle & Black, the beautiful floor was donated and laid by Floor Source Direct.



Our plumbers worked hard installing everything and even helped us get the dishwasher and stove in! We appreciate you!!!



Solid Rock Chapel in Sullivan, raised money this last fall and with their funds we purchased the fridge, stove, and dishwasher! Wow, thanks for all your hard work!!!!
The microwave was purchased by Boiling Springs church of God! Thank you so much!!! All of our lighting was donated by Dunker Electric and installed by Giberson Electric.....THANKS SO MUCH!!!

The beautiful kitchen table was donated by a business in Arthur-thank you!!! It has 6 chairs and also has a leaf to make it bigger! Crystal, from the Mt. Zion Region News, helped put fuzzies on the bottom of the chairs-we appreciate you!!!

This is my part of the kitchen. The family picture wall.............just perfect! Thank you to Michelle McCoy who took most of the pictures and framed them for us. Aunt Jessica and Uncle Cody had fun putting them up!
