Thompson Home Improvement Begins Philly Expansion

Recently Thompson Home Improvement (Laura’s Dad/Frank) of Carlisle, PA has started an expansion from nursing homes to South Philly rowhomes. Here are some of the before and after pictures from our first day of working on the house.




Obviously we are very talented … just look at the improvement that the house suffered in one day! (Notice the ceiling and the walls ... the floors are just trembling with exciting about their near future.)

We found some awesome treasures around the house. Flick-off action doll in the middle and photos of “Vince, Frankie and Baby Andy” which were given to “Carmella” … she decided to store these precious photos behind the baseboards in the dining room.

Joshua learned a valuable lesson from Frank: “No eatty the spackle, Mr. Chisholm!”
South Philly Thompson Home Improvement Crew after a long day of work. Can you guess who the contractor is? Yup, it’s Joshua because he is wearing the official shirt. Just ask Home Depot’s employees.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Frank/Dad for all of his help, guidance, creativity, tools, the house-warming present (a ladder!), his eternal patience, a dinner at the fancy crepes restaurant, his flexibility and his humor. Man, we would not have even known where to begin on this project without his help. Thank you!

Without his help, the house probably would have ended up like this:
