As the summer comes to an end, all of us in Fayette County must prepare to part ways. Here is what we’ll be up to after we leave Fayette:

Mollie will be heading home to Wisconsin to take her engineering exam.

Cora will be headed to North Carolina State University, where she will start her Junior year majoring in Business Administration.

Sarah Nell will be headed back to Montana State University, where she will also start her Junior year studying marketing and graphic design with a minor in international business.

Anna will be returning to Purdue University, where she will start her Sophomore year, majoring in Construction Engineering.

We are all so grateful to have spent the summer in Fayette County and will miss this place and these people a lot. Thank you to ASP for bringing us together in Fayette. Until next time!

After photos of Rooster Fighters! This Summer we began by completing a kitchen repair. We added new blocking to the floors and then replaced the subfloor and floor coverings. Next we worked on a HUG around the home to ensure it was warmer and drier for the upcoming year. This required a layer of housewrap, insulation, and then siding with a new window and light installation. We also repaired the porch, and created a staircase and ramp coming off the front of the home so the family had two safe exits.
