help a family get a makeover from Renuzit

May 9th, 2008 by Not Martha

You might remember that I mentioned the Renuzit Makeover Your Home contest not very long ago. Well, the submissions are in and the semi-finalist gallery is up on the Renuzit Triscents website with the top ten finalists! These families now need your help to choose the winner of the big makeover.

I voted for The Hiatt Family. I think what stood out most for me was that they had some water damage and issues with mold in their basement. Mold is nothing to mess around with and it can make you sick. I’d love to see this family get this taken care of so they can breathe healthier air, and not have a stinky basement anymore! This was their story:

My husband, SSG Joseph Hiatt, returned home in January 2006 from Iraq. During that time, I stayed home with our son, Andy. Right before that, I stopped teaching and I’m so grateful because that year was extremely difficult. On to brighter things, the year he returned Cecilia was born. Renuzit saved our poor, pitiful noses and still is in many ways. Now down to business, we have been trying to improve our home with windows and upkeep, but the bottom fell out this year. Our basement started leaking badly. The basement was partly refinished before, but now it has to be gutted. We have B-dry systems scheduled to come in July to fix the leak. We need the basement area because our family room, 2nd bath room, and our laundry room are there. In the last few months, our upstairs living room started leaking, too. We learned from a roofing expert that our chimney has to be rebricked and new flashing put around it from the roofline up. I have earthworms in my laundry /bathroom. Mold growing everywhere. Renuzit air freshener has been our odor lifesaver. This home makeover would help so much in putting our home back to what it was before so maybe the lovely smell from Renuzit will match the lovely sight of a beautiful living space. Thanks, The Hiatt Family

You can visit the semi-finalist gallery and vote once per day now through June 7!
