    CBS reports that a Breezy Point homeowner has been given a brand new home, built by Eco Building Products. Kim Leib suffered serious flooding during Hurricane Sandy – four feet of water inundated her home during the storm. After she came to understand her situation, she was “paralyzed by anxiety and uncertainty,” not knowing what to do next. That’s when Steve Conboy, president and CEO of Eco Building Products, came to the rescue.

    He says, “We’re going to build that house for free for her because we want to be able to show people how to do it.” He’s helping out Leib for two reasons – to help her get back on her feet and to show off his company’s products. These products include protected lumber that is resistant to fire, termites and mold (as we’ve mentioned, mold is a continuing problem in the Rockaways).

    Leib says, “It’s more than I can even comprehend at this time. I mean, I am so grateful.”
