MEET OUR HOMEOWNER
Charles Timothy Peay, Tim, lived here in his childhood and then moved to St. Louis. There, Tim worked at different jobs even working as a construction apprentice with St. Louis Habitat for Humanity where he helped lay tile in 25 homes. In 1989, Tim signed up with the Marine Corps and served during the Gulf War and Desert Storm operation. He was honorably discharged in 1991.
Tim injured his back in the war and suffers to this day with a back condition that continues to deteriorate. He also has suffered from PTSD since his return from duty. Although he has struggled for many years with these conditions, he has been on a good life path for several years now. A major joy in his life, during this time, was the birth of his son in 2017, who he fondly calls “Little Tim”.
His Habitat home will be the first home that he has ever owned, and he worked hard to qualify for this opportunity.
Although Tim has been through some rough times, he is a happy, kind, polite, determined man who is greatly enjoying fatherhood in his later years. His Habitat home will be the first home that he has ever owned, and he worked hard to qualify for this opportunity. He and Little Tim have been living in an apartment since he returned to Joplin a few years ago. Tim is also newly married. Tim, Karen, and Little Tim are looking forward to the joy of having their own home with a nice yard, where they can play, plant a garden, and care for each other.



BUILD DETAILS
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs)
The building blocks of strength.
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are quickly becoming a fundamental building technique for multi-family residential, school, and commercial buildings due to their strength, energy efficiency, and ease of use.
Resilent
ICFs create concrete walls that are reinforced with rebar, resulting in a structure that’s strong, durable, and can stand up to fire, floods and wind.
Efficent
ICFs create a solid concrete wall with continuous insulation that enhances energy efficiency and makes it ideal for multi-residential, school, and commercial buildings.
Safe
ICFs are fire-safe, durable, mold and rot resistant—and the solid concrete construction provides airtightness which results in improved air quality and is also a barrier between you and dangerous weather.
