Ferguson donated 2 beautiful vanities for our cottages.  However, one of them, with a granite top, was too big for our compact bathroom.  We could use the granite top on the other vanity if we could get it cut  to size and polished.  Project volunteer Bill Bradford talked to Juan Pacheco, owner of JPR Stone Surfaces.  When Bill explained to Juan that the granite was for the Warrior Village Project, Juan quickly volunteered to cut and polish the granite for free.  If you have ever paid for granite work, you know what a generous offer this was.  As a result, we [...]

Most of the calls I receive are ’robocalls’, so I usually do not answer my phone if I do not recognize the caller.  But, for some reason, when Greg Dettwiler called, I picked up the phone.  I was glad that I did.  Greg’s company, G.J. Gardner, had just completed the construction of a new home in Fallbrook.  They had 38 sheets of exterior OSB sheathing left over. Our friend, Jason Harper of Pine Tree Lumber in Fallbrook, suggested that G.J. Gardner donate the sheathing to the Warrior Village Project. We are grateful to Greg Dettwiler and the G.J. Gardner for their [...]

Stephanie Graham, Manager of the Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery in Vista, was quick to say “Yes” when we asked her to support the Warrior Village Project and San Marcos High School by donating plumbing fixtures for our cottages.  She donated kitchen sinks and bathroom vanities.  The sinks are top-of-the line, and the vanities are pretty fancy for our humble cottages.  But, I have confidence that our Interior Design student partners at Palomar College will be able to  make the rest of our cottages look as good as the plumbing fixtures! The next time you are shopping for top-of-the line [...]

Our cottages are being constructed in modules.  When the modules are set on a permanent foundation, they will be bolted together along the ‘marriage line’ where the two modules come together:  at the floor joists, at the end walls, and across the top at the ridge beams.  This requires large bolts that can withstand California earthquakes.  With four modules, and a marriage line length of about 70 feet for each cottage, we need a lot of bolts.  Our friends at Ababa Bolt gave us what we needed.  They gave us 80 5/8" x 5" bolts and 40 3/4" x 5" bolts, [...]
