I just wanted to update a story most of us have heard about. Remember back in the summer The Windsor Star reported on the family who bought the nightmare house on Acorn Cres. and were living in a camper in the backyard?
Well Bryan Baeumler, Lowes and Gino Piccioni from Timberland Homes made it right for them! Gino and his team of trades all volunteered their time and Lowes supplied the materials, and Bryan and his wife helped with the blueprints and picking the flooring, tiles, etc. This family also received all new furniture and appliances.
There were so many trades helping out, all for free. Tile guy, plumbers, electricians, heating and cooling, etc. This was all organized by Gino from Timberland homes. He used all the trades he normally uses on his custom homes. There was so much time and effort put into this project, and it's amazing to see so many people come together to help out a family most of them have never even met.
Yesterday there was a party at Lowes for everyone that helped on this project, and the family has received the keys to their new home.
It was such a horrible beginning for this family that thought they were buying their dream home, only for it to be an unfortunate nightmare. With the help of so many generous people, this family has been given a fresh start and can finally get on with their lives knowing they have a safe home to live in.
Gino is an amazing contractor, and extremely busy. He took on this house because it was the right thing to do. Kudos to all that were involved! I'm sure the family is thrilled!!
And to the family: enjoy your new home! After this long and drawn out nightmare, finally you can sleep peacefully knowing your home is safe (and beautiful)!!
