Dear NADRA Members and Supporters,
I am extremely pleased to let everyone know that the Northeast Regions Deck for a Soldier® build went very smoothly and was completed in four days. The build started on Monday, January 16th, 2017 with a crew from three separate builder member companies. We installed the Trex Elevations steel framing, along with the help from several Trex and distributor representatives. Tuesday was supposed to be a wash-out of a rainy day, but several of us gathered, installed the stairway platform and cut all of the stair stringers. Wednesday, we had crews from four builder members and we installed the decking, stairways, some fascia trim and the Andersen sliding door. We also had representatives from Fortress Railings, Fiberon, and AZEK helping out. Thursday, we had two crews, plus representatives from Trex, Wolf Home Products, Fortress Railings and Excelsior Lumber, Inc. that helped install the last of the fascia trim and the railings. We were lucky enough to have spiked the interest of a local newspaper and also the TV station News 12, New Jersey.
Our Soldier was extremely thankful and really could not believe that a program like ours exists. He was overwhelmed when wheeled out on the deck for the first time and was able to look around his neighborhood.
I would like to thank, from the bottom of my heart, everyone involved in this project for their time and materials. Many gave so freely to this project that it was inspiring to all. I continuously heard the following words ...

Daily Record
A Marine who suffered horrific and life-threatening injuries following a motorcycle accident is on the road to recovery, and a local organization is building him a deck to make his home life easier.
Kyle Chappell, 28, of Boonton, was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle to work in Denville in April 2015. He spent months in intensive care after suffering several serious injuries including an internal decapitation — a typically fatal injury where the skull separates from the spinal column — a dissected aorta, two collapsed lungs, a lacerated liver, kidney, spleen, a fractured femur, and extensive injuries to his legs which led to an amputation of his left leg below the knee.

To understand the 2017 Cost vs. Value report, think “greige.”
Greige — a mix of gray and beige — is said to be one of the hottest colors around, despite it being such a subtle tone. It’s the same thing with Cost vs. Value: This year’s report is more about several small, incremental improvements rather than colorful jolts. It’s a greige kind of year.

Press of Atlantic City
The issue of what material to use for building or redecking the Jersey Shore’s famous boardwalks is sufficiently contentious that it closes minds. The latest dispute over a plan to rebuild 20 blocks of the Wildwood Boardwalk shows how closed-mindedness not only undermines analysis and decision-making, but is contagious.
