New Saline House

As you may know, His Eye is on the Sparrow was limited to serving 5 persons until last year when they became CARF accredited. Since then we have looked for a suitable house, a 4 bedroom ranch, for our son Stephen and 3 other home members, but did not have much luck.

Early this year we saw a ranch style plan from Peters building in a Saline subdivision that we thought was large enough. We asked the builder if they could modify the home to replace the large master suite with two equal size bedrooms and a full bath. To our surprise they were willing to do so. The house has 1956 sq. ft. with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, it has a full basement and will have a ½ bath in the basement. The house will have vinyl siding and should require no or very low regular exterior maintenance.

We committed to the build and signed the contract this spring. At this point, all the details of the house have been specified and the laundry and kitchen appliances have been selected. The builder has dug the foundation and the basement walls have been poured. The interior completion will be done during the winter months. The completion date is early May of 2014. It will take us some additional time to furnish and equip the house for occupancy. We will set a move in date in the Spring of 2014.

This home will be privately owned and the care for the home members in this house will be provided by His Eye is on the Sparrow. 

We are working on the new agreements needed to outline the responsibilities and financial arrangements between the various parties, and should have them completed by year end.

Quality Workmanship on Our New House!
