On the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 30, Labor of Love crew Lacey Ward, Phil Giesey, Danny Potter and Roy Talbot provided repairs to the home of Darrell Williams. Earlier in the week, Williams’ trailer was leveled in order to install a new front door. Lacey and Phil removed the front door and rebuilt the door frame before installing the new door and lock set. The back door frame was then repaired and a new lock set installed. Danny and Roy overlaid the entire kitchen floor with five sheets of plywood. Darrell was very pleased with the results as shown in his smile! Pictured are: Phil Giesey, Roy Talbot, Darrell Williams, and Danny Potter. (Photo from Labor of Love Facebook page)
