PHC Leads Volunteer Remodel for Friends of the Farms!

On Friday October 7th and 8th PHC will be leading a great volunteer project to renovate a local farmhouse for “Friends of the Farms” on Bainbridge Island!  Our team of volunteers will be gutting the Morales farmhouse at the corner of 305 and Lovgreen with the goal of finishing by Saturday afternoon so we can begin rebuilding it over the subsequent weekends.  Our goal is to have the space inhabitable by early 2012!

We have volunteer commitment from AP Plumbing, Bird Electric, Air Systems, Anderson Windows, Premier Spray Foam, Paneltech International, Re-Power Bainbridge and are getting more every day. Thank you!

Friends of the Farms is a local nonprofit that assists in managing the farms on Bainbridge Island.  They’re responsible for connecting farmers with farmland, bringing farm consultants to the island, and representing the farms to local governing authorities.  They also provide housing for farmers and their hands.  The renovation we’re doing will convert an uninhabitable house into a great little space for temporary farm hands.  The 1000sf farmhouse requires new windows, interior insulation, new drywall, electrical, plumbing, flooring, and a kitchen.  For a number of years PHC has been interested in contributing to the local community by working on projects like this.  We hope it will be the first of many that we can all participate in.
