Construction Kickoff

You all probably know the saying about the best laid plans…

We thought we were set to start construction last weekend but delays in getting the plumbing set and rain prevented the slab from being poured until Thursday of last week. Things happened so quickly that there wasn’t time to get our updates published.

The weather decided to cooperate for a kickoff on Saturday with a very large crew from BP and a handful of community service volunteers. They were able to get the external and plumbing walls assembled and put up before calling it a day.

Our next workday will include building headers, interior walls and installing hurricane clips.

The next workdays will be Thursday, March 26th and Saturday, March 28th.

We hope to see new and old faces on the worksite in the coming weeks and months!

Great News!!

Hello Habitat Friends!

We have some awesome news to pass along. As of Friday, March 20th, we have a family for our new house!! We don’t know much about them yet, but are looking forward to working alongside them to provide them a great place to call home.

Construction is imminent and we’ll do our best to keep you updated on activities as they come along.

Hello and Happy Spring, Habitat Friends!!

We’re happy to announce that we’re ready to get started on our next home in Texas City! The lot’s been cleared, the forms went up and we’re getting ready to pour the slab. This means that we should be ready to put up exterior walls on Saturday, March 14, 2009. For those who are available on Thursday, March 12th, we need some help taking the forms off and pre-drilling the sole plates.

This home will be built at 5424 Campbell Street, Texas City, Texas. Directions are posted at http://texascityhabitat.wordpress.com/home-site-5422-campbell-st-texas-city/

We hope to see you there!!
