repairs.

Rain turns this into a deep puddle and muddy.
The path to my van is difficult and very painful
to my back.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Roof is brittle and leaks to the point of
internal water damage and possible
electrical dangers.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Rear door unsafe because walking
presents the risk of falling, on stairs and the concrete patio, which is cracked and uneven. My chair will not acess the
patio but at speed which is very painful and bad
for the chair.

I spend most of my time in my shop and it has no protection for my chair and cannot be entered with my
wheelchair.

The power cables are ratty and the service
is only 60 amp. Outlets are mostly 2 prong and several have burned out.
Repairs are touchy due to brittle
insulation inside metal shielding.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Leaks have damaged the ceilings in both the
Pantry and Living Room.In the Pantry rain water has fallen on the water heater and filled
these light bulbs.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Ceiling is falling and I do not know
what the leak has done to the wiring in
the wall.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Ceiling tile damage is
over full width of house and some tiles are coming loose.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
House is settling and walls are
cracking and rear door no longer fits
in frame. The damage is
through the hardwood floors and runs across
the whole house.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
This the only HVAC, heat is
accomplished by use of space
heaters which cooks the internal
wiring even though it is not
grounded.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
The front room is as far as my chair can go within the
house.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
House settling has all but made the rear door
unable to be closed is also splitting the door.
Front door is falling apart and so narrow that the chair has caused
damage.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
There are several incidents of
exposed wiring as well as fixtures of unknown intent. The turn to use this bathroom is
impossible for my wheelchair.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
The main bathroom remains risky and difficult to use and
unfinished after another group came
and repaired the floor.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
This shower cannot be used because the tile leaks
through to the crawl space yet the water still flows in when the washing machine
empties. All the houses drains constantly slow and while the pressure is very
low, the pipes are constantly developing leaks both on the high pressure
lines and drains.
One hot water leak ran for a month before discovery and created a mold problem still unresolved.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Kitchen is completely
inaccessible, too small and narrow,
for my chair. Door is too narrow and the
floor is uneven.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Fan fixture is loose and unsafe in
dressing room which cannot be accessed
by wheelchair.
