OSWEGO – With the help of volunteers, local companies, unions, and the sweat equity of future homeowners; Oswego County Habitat for Humanity, (OCHFH) recently completed renovations to a home at 21 Liberty St. for the Tunaley family in Oswego, OCHFH Executive Director Samuel Raponi.

The extensive renovations included new insulation, sheetrock, new kitchen cabinets and counters, and a complete bathroom remodel; along with a back porch re-build to meet current building code requirements and more, Raponi said.

            “Carpenter apprentices under the direction of CSEA Carpenter Instructor Peter Hathaway completed the porch re-build. But that was just the tip of volunteers and support we received. For example, Oswego Lowes volunteered to help with flooring and interior door installation, Pullens Plumbing and Heating retrofitted a new efficient hot water baseboard heating system and updated plumbing,” Raponi said.

“Oswego U.S. Coast Guard members and a SUNY Oswego State student volunteered to build a French drain, and Ontario Home Improvements installed drywall. In addition, spray foam insulation was installed by Apex Insulation Co., and current and former OCHFH board members as well as the future homeowner, lent their sweat equity to whatever needed to be done.  We are extremely grateful for all who contributed time, materials and talent to complete this project.”

OCHFH offers a special thanks to: OCHFH board members, City of Oswego Code Enforcement, Tom Reynolds Law Office, Oswego; Home Headquarters, Syracuse; Oswego Housing Development Council, Inc., Fulton; Russell Gettman Surveyor; CSEA Carpenter Apprentices; U.S. Coast Guard; Burke’s Home Center; Raby’s Ace Hardware Center; Pullens Plumbing & Heating; Scriba Electric’ Blue Bowl Sanitation Co., Inc.; Apex Insulation Co.; Ontario Home Improvements; House Spec Home Inspections; Lowe’s Oswego, and SUNY Oswego student volunteers.
