Team SCORCHERS

Shawn Harris, Bob Lee & company have been working on replacing first floor windows in a 100 year old home. We've been taking out all the old windows and putting in new ones. This is very time consuming, as we are really taking time & care to CAREFULLY remove & salvage the interior casing and beautiful mill work. By doing this, we are giving this family a new view on the world. We feel honored to be rebuilding this family's windows and giving them a fresh start. Even though Jean, the owner, had to deal with 8 inches of water (her first floor is almost 6 feet above the street level), she still keeps a sense of humor which is inspiring.
Our group has all come together to help this family, and in the process we are learning new skills with tools. But we aren't just learning new techniques, also we are learning new things about ourselves, such as we can take out a HUGE window and replace it with a brand new one. We look forward to the rest of our workdays and we are excited to see the finished project.
