De Anza Tile of Palo Alto solicited for the JW House and was able to get Peninsula Builders Supply of Sunnyvale to donate the stone needed for the project – approximately 35 pallets worth. Additionally, Dale Tile in San Jose donated the entire floor tile and material needed to install it.

Members of the Bricklayers, Tile setters and Allied Craft workers Local 3, California (BAC Local 3, California)donated labor for installation.

We are deeply appreciative of all involved.

The Board of Director is working hard to complete the house and get the operation started.

There are many things to learn and to discuss.

Construction 3-4-08

We were at the construction site yesterday. Tim presented AM a check in support of JW House. He and his family not only donated their talent, time (he works over time all the time, donated his weekend to work with the apprentices) and now money too.
His love for JW House is a blessing to us. We are so lucky to have someone like Tim to be our superintendent.
