His wife, Christie, and friends surprised him with a 1,000-square-foot addition to their house. The new digs included a work shop and home theater.
Michael Spivey was overcome with emotion and cried when he saw the renovation.
"I'll probably come down here, grab a Mountain Dew, grab my wife, come down here and watch whatever movie she wants to watch," he said.
Christie Spivey said that she got plenty of help with the project from family and friends. Everyone, including the contractors, donated their time and all the materials.
