Long Time No Post

Hello Habitat Friends!!

Let me first apologize for the lack of new information on our new home.  All I can say in my defense is that it has been a very busy spring.

Where We Are

As you saw in the first major post, we were putting up walls and working on the foundation. A LOT has happened since then. The ceiling joists and rafters were cut, assembled and installed. The roof and outside of the house were sheathed, and the roof is ready for shingles! The porch is coming along and we got the windows and doors cut out and installed. This past weekend the house was wrapped and the exterior of the windows and doors were caulked.

Where We Are Going

Tomorrow’s crew should be finishing up with the attic stairs and caulking the joists inside the house. This coming weekend (Saturday, May 16th), we hope to get at least started on putting up the siding. We should be ready to start focusing on the items that need to be completed inside the house, such as placing the electrical outlets and phone jacks and preparing for sheetrock.

While we seem to be moving along at a nice clip with this house, we still need more volunteers. If you have free time Thursdays or Saturdays, we’d love to have you. If you need directions, please click the Directions and Maps link above. Please come on our and lend us a hand and we hope to see you this weekend!!
