Family to the Rescue

Why are wall studs 16 inches on center? 🏠🔨

It's one of the most common construction standards in home building, but most homeowners never learn why.

In Part 3 of our Renovation Tips Series, Vinny explains how stud spacing affects wall strength, drywall installation, insulation, building materials, and overall construction efficiency.

Understanding the basics of wall framing can help homeowners, DIYers, and volunteers better understand how a house is built.

Small detail. Big difference.

🏠 Renovation Tips Series | Part 3

Thinking about renovating your home?

Most homeowners start by thinking about demolition, paint colors, or new finishes.

But the first step is actually evaluating the space and creating a plan.

Understanding how a home functions, identifying problem areas, and planning for future needs can make the difference between a successful renovation and an expensive mistake.

This is Part 1 of our new renovation series where we'll walk you through how professional renovation projects begin and what homeowners should know before starting.

What part of your home would you renovate first?

The progress happening on this home right now is incredible to witness ❤️

We’re finally moving beyond demolition and into rebuilding.

Windows are being installed, exterior sheathing is going up, and we’re nearing the completion of removing the old cedar siding and damaged exterior materials.

Every step forward on this project represents something so much bigger than construction.

It represents safety.
Accessibility.
Independence.
And hope for the family who will soon call this house home again.

We are beyond grateful for every volunteer who continues to show up and help move this project forward.

This transformation is truly becoming something special.
