On June 24, 2011, Mosby carpenter Don Nanna was proud to be a project manager for a Marine Week residential rehab project. Shown above is the commemorative coin Don was given by the Marine’s to acknowledge all his hard work.

Don served as the project manager for jobs inside the Foristell, MO home of Kim Dauwalter. Above is a photo of Kim and Don at the end of a long, yet satisfying, day of productivity.

Don had worked with Kim in advance to put together a list of projects both inside and outside her home that could be tackled when a large group of Marine’s and civilian volunteers arrived.

One outside project that caught everyone’s attention was building a new chicken coop, while projects inside the home included preparation for new flooring, new shelving on the ground floor and water leak repairs in the basement.

Kim uses a wheelchair to get around, so one of Don’s most poignant accomplishments for the day was installing comfort-height toilets in both of Kim’s bathrooms.

Mosby wishes to thank the Marine Week organizers for asking us to be a part of their good works, and a special, big thank you to our very own Don Nanna for all the hours he’s spent since March preparing for the big build day. Your spirit of helping is contagious!

On Saturday, April 30, 2011 MetLife teamed with Rebuilding Together St. Louis for Rebuilding Day in North St. Louis City, where 13 homes were repaired and renovated by hardworking volunteers. The photo above shows the group who worked on a home on Athlon in the 21^st ward.

Mosby Building Arts project manager Kevin Howard (above left) is a veteran Rebuilding Together volunteer, and served as House Captain for the renovations to the home of Hortense (above middle).

Repairs to her home included windows, the front porch, interior painting and doing something about the back porch, shown above.

Kevin recruited several Mosby employees to help on Rebuilding Day. Rhonda Frentzel and her daughter Laura were wielding paint brushes inside, while Ken Ware did some window repairs. Members of the Mosby construction crew demolished the old back porch and began building a new set of steps. In the photo above, James Milton (left) and Justin Lane (right) are cutting the new boards for those steps. Justin’s brother, Ryan – also a Mosby carpenter – helped with the project.

The guys made great progress, with Mosby project lead Doug McCauley (standing on the porch) and his son building at record speed. Fellow Mosby carpenter Brian Brocco also contributed to this backyard project.

And here’s the new porch at the end of a busy day! Kevin learned a few days later that a city building inspector called Rebuilding Together to say he was very impressed with Kevin’s performance as a house captain and that all the work was done perfectly.

Rebuilding Together Day was covered that evening on KSDK news. Click to see the report.

We’re very proud of the Mosby employees who continually take part in Rebuilding Together projects and support their vision of a safe and healthy home for every person.

Mosby Building Arts is proud to have been a part of two separate community outreach projects in the month of September.

On September 11, 2010, members of the Mosby production crew teamed with Ian Forber-Pratt of the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition for a building project in St. Peters, MO. This was the second time Ian and Mosby worked together on a project that helps loving families remodel their home so a child can leave the foster care system to begin a secure and productive new life.

Sam Cluff (son of Mosby Production Manager, Tyler) & Mosby Lead Carpenter Doug McCauley break up the concrete.

This family was in need of an extra bedroom for their teenage foster son. Armed with architectural drawings and all the materials to build a bedroom in the basement, they were searching for “the hands” to build the parts of the project outside their scope of experience. 4 members of Mosby Building Arts production crew (along with 2 of their teenage sons) stepped in to supply the skilled labor to bring the project to life. During the project, connections were immediate and the friendships will be long lasting.

Tyler Cluff and his son Colton (left) erect the boards to create the bedroom walls.

Everyone in the family worked side by side with the Mosby crew to cut boards, break up the concrete for plumbing lines, frame the room and paint the basement walls. In 6 hours time (including a bountiful lunch – thank you!), a 9-man crew framed and prepped a bedroom and play area for drywall and plumbing. It was a gratifying and life-affirming experience to provide an assist to a family who had already accomplished so much.

On September 25, 2010, members of the Mosby team were among the volunteers helping Rebuilding Together St. Louis build an outdoor classroom for the Lift for Life Academy. This South Side neighborhood revitalization project was made possible by a generous grant from Pepsi Beverages Company, and over 60 Pepsi volunteers were also on hand to help the educational green space magically appear.

Dozens of Lift for Life students worked side by side with the volunteers in creating a fishpond, patio and vegetable gardens for life sciences, biology and horticulture classes.

Mosby Building Arts’ Project Manager Rick Henson and Carpenters Doug McCauley and Ryan Lane were happy to build picnic benches and tables, while Mosby Project Manager Kevin Howard – a veteran Rebuilding Together member – served as the overall project coordinator.

It is a gratifying feeling to work with others toward making a positive difference in the communities we live in. It was a true pleasure to work alongside all of you on these two projects, and thank you for enriching our lives with your spirit of giving.

The volunteer team that "built a bridge."

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they need help from others to build a bridge to overcome a hurdle. It is an honor to help someone achieve a goal, and this is a story of bringing a family back together by making it possible to be safe, comfortable and secure in their home.

The Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition was formed in1985 to create permanency in foster children’s lives by recruiting and retaining high-quality foster and adoptive families.

The State of Missouri has approximately 1,400 children waiting for an adoption or placement; 500 of these children are in the St. Louis Metro area. The average time they stay in foster care before being placed in a permanent home or “aging out” is 26 months. Many foster children arrive in school with impairments due to prenatal drug and alcohol exposure. Furthermore, foster children are estimated to lose six months of emotional development with each new placement, and these children average one or two placement changes a year. So a 14-year-old with four lifetime placements is closer in age, emotionally, to a 12-year-old, which is a challenge for learning and relating.

The Coalition’s Extreme Recruitment® program works exclusively with the hardest-to-place foster children – those age 10 and over, sibling groups, and youth with special emotional, behavioral, or educational concerns.  By rearranging the way child welfare professionals work together, the program is able to place 70% of children in permanent homes (compared to a 40% national average) and reconnect 90% with a network of safe, appropriate family members who will become lifelong supporters.

The home before construction of the accessible ramp

Ian Forber-Pratt is on of the Coalition’s Extreme Recruiters, and is involved with an adoptive foster family facing an extreme challenge: 2 of their 4 adoptive/foster children have a degenerative disease which makes it physically difficult to get in and out of the house. The daughter had just been removed from the home because of this accessibility problem, and the son was facing the same fate. The family needed a ramp to keep the son at home and bring the daughter back where she belonged.

At the beginning of June, David Singer, owner of Warehouse of Fixtures and Junior Board Member of the Care Coalition, sent an e-mail to Judy Mosby, co-owner of Mosby Building Arts, seeking a solution that would bring the family’s daughter back home.

David explained they had architectural drawings provided by Nathan Bavolek of Nathan & James Company; would Judy know of a skilled carpenter who would lead a group of volunteers in building this much-needed ramp?

Judy Mosby Tells The Story

“David told me about the trials the foster mother has been through just to make this ramp happen. She was born blind, but with the loving support of her family, she obtained her teaching degree and taught blind children in the special school district, a career she left a year and a half ago to care for her 4 adopted foster children full-time.

“So, Mom took her application and money, and walked up to the City Hall with her cane and told them, ‘I need a ramp for my baby to come home. Will you help me?’

“With a building permit in hand, she bought all the materials for building the ramp with money from a savings account she set up just for this project. She made several attempts to line up labor to install the ramp, and they all fell through. For instance, a non-profit group offered to help, but the fee was too high and it was a 2-year waiting list. A church group offered to build the ramp until learning the project was too complicated for them. Another group was rained out on start day, and rescheduling had become impossible.

“All of these delays caused one daughter to be removed from the home, and the son’s worsening conditioning was moving him toward the same fate. Even though neighbors were helping her to bring him in and out of the house, it was becoming too much and time was running out, and the emotional toll was unbearable.

“After hearing the story, I wanted to make the ramp happen that day! I immediately went to our Energy Auditor (and former draftsman) for help with drawings and he immediately said ‘yes!’ I then asked one of our Project Managers, Rick Henson, who not only said ‘yes,’ but ‘Let’s do it next Wednesday.’

“Rick stopped by the family’s home to talk about the ramp, take a look at what materials were already on hand and what else would be needed, and immediately put together his crew. The Mosby angels who banded with Rick to build the ramp were Doug McCauley, Ryan Lane, Brian Brocco and Eric Fick.”

“Come the following Wednesday, after 8 hours of working on their own jobs, the Mosby crew converged on the family’s front yard to begin building a deck. They were joined by the Coalition’s Junior Board members Jenny and Kevin Reid, Ryan Blackburn, Kristen Weber, and of course, David Singer, who made this possible.”

“With building knowledge, skills, tools and enough hands, they completed the ramp structure and decking from 4 – 9:30 PM. The railings were all cut and left for the volunteers to attach over the coming weekend.”

The decking is almost done

As the sun sets, the support posts go up

At sundown, everything is done but the railing

“As we stood in the dark looking at what had been accomplished in 4.5 hours, the eldest daughter came out onto the front porch and in an angelic voice sang ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ for all of us, and thanked us for helping her family to stay together.  I still tear up when I think about what a powerful and gracious moment that was.”

And here is the completed accessible ramp

“I just received this photo from Ian, showing us that they did put up the railings over the weekend, and the accessible ramp is now complete! Mom can now get her son in and out of the home with much less effort than before. The Mom’s spirit of ‘getting things done,’ is infectious, and we are so honored to be a part of building a bridge that keeps this family together and growing strong.”

Mosby Building Arts is proud to be a part of the Earthways Green Homes Festival on September 26, 2009, from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.  The event is free, so come visit us at Booth #10 (on Grandel Square, just west of Grand Boulevard and across the street from the Sun Theater) and learn what steps you can take to make your home sustainable.

The broad definition of a sustainable home is one that uses its resources efficiently with the capacity to endure.  We at Mosby practice this as “Build it right the first time,” and have adhered to this principal for over 60 years.  When a home works efficiently and properly, home owners benefit from the low-maintenance function and lasting quality, which ultimately saves money.

Consider that the greenest home is one already standing, reusing (or remodeling) what exists is a responsible form of sustainability.  A home that is comfortable, healthy and energy efficient has a positive impact on our resources,  neighborhood and the earth.  Examples of a sustainable home include:

Water Management

A home’s biggest enemy is water because it has the ability to do great damage and is constantly seeking a way to do this by infiltrating the barriers we put up against it.

All surfaces exposed to repeated water leaks will eventually deteriorate, which causes unsafe and unhealthy living conditions.  Keeping the water out is so much more than a good roof; proper flashing and drainage are part of the system that works with the roof to keep water from invading.  If one part of this system breaks down, there will be water leaks that may take awhile to show up, and by then it may have already caused costly damage.  Keeping a home water tight is the key to sustaining it for generations to come.

Venting

Homes need a steady intake and release of air to keep indoor air healthy and dry. Negative impact of faulty air venting includes:

• Too much air escaping through improper venting or sealing allows valuable heating and cooling energy to escape, encouraging wasteful energy bills and feeling uncomfortable.

• A house that is too air-tight will hold in moisture (commonly experienced as humidity) and high water content breeds mold. Moisture can rot wood (both structure and furniture) and create unhealthy breathing conditions. Proper venting maintains the delicate balance of air flow that keeps families safe and healthy.

Energy Efficiency

Heating, cooling and water bills make up about 40% of the cost of running a home, so it is important for these systems to run efficiently to receive maximum benefit from them.

A home energy audit is the surest way to know the level of energy efficiency in a home.  Audits are a series of tests that will measure items such as the rate of air exchange, carbon monoxide levels and air leaks.  The findings will highlight where improvements can be made that will bring about measurable improvement in energy savings, comfort and indoor air quality.

Mosby Building Arts has a Certified Green Professional energy auditor who is registered with the Building Performance Institute, Missouri Department of Natural Resources and Ameren UE to perform the tests that identify problem areas and recommend the changes that will benefit you the most.  Mosby also performs the energy efficiency solutions, so you will have the peace of mind that comes from having experienced professionals handle every aspect of sustainable improvements to your home.

Learn more about the Mosby Home Energy Audit here, and on Saturday, September 26, talk with the Mosby energy auditor at the Earthways Green Homes Festival.  It is a great opportunity to get a head start on improving the comfort, health and performance of your home.

L-R: Mosby Building Arts' Scott Mosby and Rich Layton with HGTV's Carter Oosterhouse worked together on the veteran's home job site.

Mosby Building Arts, Rebuilding Together St. Louis, and HGTV Change the World joined together to repair and remodel Hence Forland’s home. The retired 27-year veteran is dedicated to helping homeless veterans get back on their feet by giving them a temporary place to live and support their efforts in finding work. His home required extensive repairs and remodeling and the community came together to make his dream come true. His specific and meaningful goal was to create a home atmosphere of motivation and inspiration to those who deserve a better life after serving their country.

Our volunteer staff from Mosby Building Arts worked alongside nearly a hundred volunteers focused on making needed improvements to the 109-year old house. During the filming weekend of June 18 – 22, 2009 we shared in every task imaginable. Tune in to the HGTV broadcast on Veteran’s Day to see the added design features that will elevate and inspire the men Hence Forland is mentoring.

Rebuilding Together, a national organization, excels at rehabilitating the houses of low-income homeowners. It was a magical fit with HGTV as they were able to provide a large bank of committed volunteers to this project. The HGTV production crew was genuinely overwhelmed and impressed with the large numbers of people who worked tirelessly for 4 days in the higher than normal temperatures. There were times the heat index raised to over 105!

Members of the HGTV crew who made this such a successful and memorable project (L-R): Loren Ruch, Haven Wertz, Sandi Ionelli, Monica Pedersen and Rich Belz.

The HGTV crew was also delighted by enthusiastic citizens of St. Louis and their consistent contributions of services, food, materials and money to the project.

Scott Mosby hosted his show as a live KMOX broadcast from the job site. He interviewed multiple members of HGTV and Rebuilding Together St. Louis, as well as the stars, Monica Pederson and Carter Oosterhouse. You can listen to the interviews here. For 3 hours, the story of dedication and generosity unfolded. Some listeners were inspired by the work and contributions to drive to the site and donate to the cause. A sense of genuine compassion and action helped all of us create the reality of Hence Forland’s vision.

Although the HGTV event is complete, there are many veterans in the St. Louis area that would appreciate any help, from a job to a smile. If you are interested, contact the Veterans Affairs for ways you can help a veteran.

Please mark your calendar and tune in to see the results of this project when the episode of The Veteran’s Day special episode of Change the World. Start at Home airs on November 11, 2009 at 8 p.m. on HGTV. Stay connected through our newsletter to get more details as we draw closer to the broadcast date. We hope to share more stories and the ripple effects of the gifts of time and action.

Closer to the airing of the episode, we will share our own stories of the people who touched our hearts and made miracles happen. For now, we share with you:

Rebuilding Hope. Restoring Dreams

Focus on Vision of Helping Veterans

At the Windsor Transitional Home, brick tuckpointing is now finished.

Mosby Building Arts is dedicated to more than enhancing homes. We enhance the way people live. Although each of our client’s home projects receives the highest priority of our attention, there has probably never been a house assignment more important than the Windsor Transitional Home which will serve the needs of honorable St. Louis veterans. Mosby professionals have been hard at work in preparation for the HGTV crew on June 19th to begin filming. The project is scheduled to be complete on June 21, 2009.

Click here for “before” photos” of the Windsor Transitional home so you can how far we’ve come already.

In the backyard, the fence has been removed and the old sidewalk and porch have been removed. Big plans for the backyard!

We take pride in the fact that our service approach is unique to our industry, and our “do-whatever-it-takes” attitude has helped us to quickly and accurately measure and photograph the Windsor Transitional Home to create floor plans that will assist Rebuilding Together St. Louis, as well as HGTV representatives and the volunteer trade partners participating in this important refurbishing and renovation project.

The painting of walls and trim in the first floor living room is done. Morning sunlight through the stained glass is a beautiful sight.

For over 60 years, people in the St. Louis area have turned to Mosby Building Arts for home enhancement answers. Now our own Scott Mosby has utilized his experience supervising remodeling jobs to create an organizational system on the veteran’s home job site that will enhance the productivity and efficiency of hundreds of volunteers.

The kitchen is now ready for paint, flooring, appliances and cabinetry. This room will magically transform over the weekend!

Scott defined the structure and responsibility so each room had a captain. Captains are responsible for monitoring progress in their rooms, from scheduling to construction to punch list. This organizational structure helps to create a sense of order and helps to divide this large project into manageable segments, while each Captain provides helpful guidance and direction to the volunteers within their room.

All of the first- and second-floor interior walls have been patched and prepared for painting. Some rooms that have been without ceilings now have drywall installed, along with new connections for light fixtures.

As we took these photos of the progress at the home, volunteers were finishing up last-minute prep work as new flooring was unloaded from a delivery truck.

The second floor is patched and prepped for painting. Here you can see some of the new thermal windows already installed in every room of the veteran's home.

New thermal windows were donated for the project, and all of them are now installed. This will contribute greatly to the energy efficiency of this 109-year old home.

The second floor had been without a ceiling for some time, so it is gratifying to have this completed. Loving the original fireplace surround.

Even before the final construction push begins on Friday morning, the house is a beehive of activity, with a wide variety of tradespeople working concurrently.

Spirits are high on the job site and there is a very positive energy. Everyone we spoke with is intensely focused on doing their best work as a way of giving back to a man who has dedicated his home and life to helping homeless veterans.

Hence Forland, Jr., the man who has dedicated his home and life to helping homeless veterans. That smile is always on his face, and his spirit is infectious.

And the happiest man on the job site? That would be Hence Forland, Jr. He has been working side by side with us to realize his vision of helping those who have served our country. The feelings of joy and gratitude that radiate from him are both infectious and inspirational.

The Windsor Transitional Home has already come a long way in a short period of time. This weekend, hundreds of volunteers and the HGTV crew will work together with Mosby professionals to help Hence Forland realize his vision of helping worthy veterans to discover “the art of living” well.

Listen to The KMOX Home Improvement Show with Scott Mosby on Saturday, June 21^st, from 11 am – 2 pm. Scott will be broadcasting live from the job site and will interview the people who are helping to make the dream of the Windsor Transitional Home a reality.

HGTV Is Coming To St. Louis

Rebuilding Hope. Restoring Dreams

The Windsor Transitional Home being prepped for tuckpointing.

Mosby Building Arts has always been dedicated to the art of home enhancement and the positive effects it has on people’s lives. So when we had the unique opportunity to partner with Rebuilding Together St. Louis and HGTV to help repair and transform the Windsor Transitional Home to make it a first-class facility for some of our war veterans, we were honored to volunteer our time, plus our design and constructive expertise to this worthy endeavor.

You may have read in our earlier blog post that HGTV will be in town on Friday, June 19^th to begin the project. Let’s take a closer look at the work that we have completed thus far with Rebuilding Together St. Louis and HGTV in preparation for the renovation of the Windsor Transitional Home owned by retired First Sergeant Hence Forland, Jr.

Rear of the home at 3837 Windsor Place, before the rebuild begins.

When Forland purchased the 109-year-old house at 3837 Windsor Place nearly two decades ago, little did he know the positive impact it would create. Inspired by the homeless veterans he met through the nearby John Cochran VA Medical Center, Forland was determined to provide a safe haven for these honorable servicemen. In 2007, he opened his doors to veterans and officially created the Windsor Transitional Home.

The back stoop is in bad shape. Mosby Building Arts has designed a new porch and patio for this area.

Forland invested his time, energy and money into the home to make the house safe and inhabitable, but it is an ongoing struggle. In early 2009, Rebuilding Together St. Louis entered Forland’s home into HGTV’s “Change the World. Start at Home” competition, and with the support of an overwhelming number of St. Louisans voting online, this veteran’s home was selected to receive $40,000 for repairs and updates.

The proposed design for the Windsor Transitional Home's new back porch, designed by Mosby Building Arts.

In April, Mosby Building Arts was proud to partner with Rebuilding Together and HGTV to inspect and evaluate the challenges facing the home, and to develop floorplan drawings. We are excited to have been asked to design a new back porch and patio for the facility and look forward to working with HGTV and Carter Oosterhouse on completing this project during filming on July 19^th through the 21^st.

Through his dedication, Forland installed a new roof and upgraded furnace to provide a warm and cozy atmosphere for the deserving veterans, but virtually everything else in the home needs to be repaired, updated and remodeled.

The front hallway and the stairs leading to the 2nd floor.

In preparation for the filming of the HGTV show beginning on June 19^th, volunteer crews have already initiated work on the house. As a starting point, lead paint in the home has been completely encapsulated.

Electricity for the home has recently been re-wired. Patching, prepping and painting the walls takes place the weekend of June 12th.

Plumbers and Pipefitters Local #562 has donated its time and supplies to update all of the plumbing, and IBEW Local #1 has completely rewired the electricity in the home, bringing light to rooms that have been dark since 1983.

The veteran's home kitchen before the remodel begins.

Area businesses have generously donated appliances to help update the kitchen, and these items will be installed during HGTV filming.

To ensure efficient climate control – and a beautiful view – new thermal windows for the entire house have been donated, and soon Bike & Build will help to replace the subfloors.

To help maintain a strong foundation, tuckpointing is being completed on the home’s brick exterior.

The basement will get new support columns.

During the weekend of June 12^th, volunteer crews will patch walls, install trim, and prepare all surfaces for painting.

Hence Forland, Jr. understands the basic human need for shelter, and has created safety and order for the veterans in his home. With this wonderful gift of repair and remodeling comes the opportunity to demonstrate how a sound, healthy and attractive home elevates the spirits and lifestyle of the people who live in it. This is the core belief of Scott Mosby and Mosby Building Arts, and we are honored to be a part of this effort.

Here’s your chance to contribute! Rebuilding Together is seeking skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled volunteers to assist with this project on June 12^th, 13^th, 19^th, 20^th and 21^st, 2009. As a volunteer, you must be able to work a full-day or half-day shift and you can indicate your availability. We encourage you to help make a positive difference now in your own city by contacting Rebuilding Together’s Jessie Connor at 314.918.9918, ext. 24, or by email at jconner@rebuildingtogether-stl.org.
