We have come a long way with Ben's bathroom. NARI and Rebuilding Together Charlotte have kept the project running smoothly with subcontractors coming through to do the foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and insulation. Drywall starts this week and then it's downhill from there. A shout out and BIG thank you to the contractors (all are NARI members) who have donated time, labor and materials to Ben's bathroom so far: DeRhodes Construction - contracting and managing Queen City Lumber - framing package and siding Andrew Roby Contracting - framing labor Bedford Falls Builders - drywall WAC Contracting - foundation All About the Pipes - plumbing Aldred Electric - electric ABS Insulation - insulation Quality Comfort - heating and air conditioning
These stories describe our journey with Ben, our oldest son. Ben is a sweet and energetic redhead, born with Rett Syndrome, a rare genetic mutation. My husband, Ryan, and I try to keep up with Ben and his two younger brothers. I intend to shed insight into raising a child with disabilities and pass on the wisdom we’ve earned over the past two decades.
