Congrats to the baseball team! They might grumble a little bit from being "urged" too much, but they'll have a lot of fun and feel so good when they're finished. There's nothing like it. Up here, we have several larger companies that sponsor work days. Sprint is one. They pick a day in October, their crews choose houses where the occupants just can't afford to hire work done. Home Depot and some of the other lumberyards around here donate materials, the workers bring their own tools and they get a lot done! The pics are fabulous. Usually there's one of a tearful resident thanking the group with lunch or goodies. They do things like paint, maybe even some carpeting, some roofing (not complete roof jobs), some yard work, etc. Last year, a heating/air contractor even donated a new furnace and installation. Just warms the cockles of your heart!
