Volunteer House Makeover Nears Completion

Ferncliff's Volunteer House has gone through a very significant transformation on the inside.  

With primarily volunteer labor, decades old carpeting was pulled up, asbestos tiles were professionally removed, every square inch of dark paneling and trim were painted with lighter colors, the gas stove was removed as was the propane tank, a new stove was installed and a new water heater, new kitchen cabinets and counter tops are being installed, 10 inches of cellulose were added to the attic, a great deal of dirt was excavated from behind the house to solve drainage issues and a retaining wall built, vinyl floor coverings added to front rooms and ceramic tile to kitchen, baths and master bedroom, new window treatments and lighting fixtures.  

The new residents of the house will be Ashley & Joel Gill and baby Marjorie.  Joel directs the Environmental Education program at the Arkansas 4-H Center next door to Ferncliff.  Ashley Gill works for PDA and runs the PDA National Call Center which is in the Ferncliff office.  They will be a great help to Ferncliff with security and hospitality and our usage continues to grow!
