The following letter of thanks was delivered to the Housing Department with a festive plate of homemade Holiday goodies:
“Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Boss and all the guys who worked on my old house … who done just a good job on it and made it so much better and nicer for me. You guys did a wonderful job and it’s so warm now and to think this summer I can open my windows and doors which I’ve never been able to do. Thanks again guys and hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Your great admirer, … …”
This elderly homeowner has three part-time jobs to pay the utility bills for the home she has lived in her entire life. Through the Weatherization Assistance Program her home received attic and sidewall insulation, a new furnace and new windows and doors. She shared with the crew that she has never had anything new in her life, as the addition to the home was built with used materials.
Hopefully, the weatherization measures will not only make her home more comfortable, but allow her to eliminate one of the part-time jobs!
