ANDERSON, IN (WXIN/CNN) - Two years after a home was donated to an Army veteran and his family, it remains unfinished.
Tim Senkowski received the keys to his new home in 2015, built and donated by the nonprofit foundation The Path Home. But after the key ceremony ended and the TV cameras left, he said the workers finishing the house also took off and never came back.
"I thank everyone who has donated, who has given their support, but after all these years it still hasn't been completed," Senkowski said.
Senkowski, who was badly wounded by an IED in Afghanistan, said several parts of the house were built wrong or just never finished.
The front door has a one-inch gap underneath it. Closets and cabinets were measured incorrectly, and interior doors were never installed.
Outdoor siding is already coming off, and windows were never weather sealed.
The home only has a wheelchair ramp because of a grant from the VA. One was never originally built.
"It was a cluster of just randomness," Senkowski said. "Nothing was ready when it needed to be ready."
The page dedicated to the project on The Path Home website says, "Due to a lack of funds to complete the home, there were a few things left to be finished that Tim and his family are working on."
Calls to the organization were not returned.
As for Senkowski, he said he's reached a point where he's fixed everything in the home that he can.
"I've only got one fully functional hand and a partial hand, really cant hang a door properly," he said.
He said he doesn't want to come across as complaining too much about a house that was built for him - mostly - and given to his family. But he said he does want to warn other veterans to be wary of who they're dealing with.
