RC Versailles-Woodford County hosted a successful Repair Affair!

The Versailles-Woodford County Rotary Club sponsored the Woodford County Repair Affair for the tenth year on September 9 – 10. It was a complete success! Woodford County had rain for 5 straight days prior to the event, but the clouds lifted and we had beautiful weather for both days. Over 275 volunteers were able to help 24 elderly or disabled low-income homeowners with repairs they could not do themselves. 



BEFORE
Some of the needs addressed this year included 2 roof replacements, 29 window replacements, bathroom floor replacements, utility meter pole replacement, gutter replacements, door replacements, wheel chair ramp installation, porch repairs and railing installation, dead bolt lock installations, install security bars on windows, yard work, washer / dryer relocation from basement to first floor, sump pump repairs, bathtub grab bar installations, window air conditioner replacement, numerous electrical and plumbing repairs, kitchen and bathroom cabinet repairs, drywall repairs, and lots of interior and exterior painting....All at NO COST to the homeowners! These repairs will have a major impact on our homeowners safety, security, accessibility, and overall quality of life. 

AFTER
The most rewarding part of the weekend was seeing the smiling faces of both volunteers and homeowners!
