Thank You

Thank you to Aaron and Aaron who graciously opened their beautiful River Bend home the the group and volunteered their dining room window as a subject for our glazing demonstration! Thanks also to Angela who provided an excellent demonstration on how to reglaze a historic wood window sash! See photos from the meeting at http://renovatedsm.com/node/235.

Next DSMRC Meeting

In lieu of a formal meeting on May 3, 2008, I am asking Des Moines Rehabbers Club members to volunteer a day of their time to help out a family in need of home maintenance or repair as part of the annual Rebuilding Together work day. Volunteers are matched to the needs of the homeowner, so even if all you can do is paint, we still need you. This could be your opportunity to learn a new skill as well! More information here.

DSMRC monthly meetings are free and open to the public! We welcome people of all skill levels whether you are a professional general contractor, exploring options for redoing a bathroom, or simply want to met other interesting people.

Hope to see you there!
