Sept. 14th and 15th

So the summer is unofficially over, and the weather is great. As a result, lots of folk are very interested in coming out to our Northrop Grumman sponsored Habitat houses and volunteering. We had a group of 17 from our purchasing group volunteer on Friday, and had a large crew from SMT engineering come on Saturday to help out. 1630 N Gilmor had its drywall complete so the Friday crew was able to apply the first coat of paint while 1632 still needed some drywall touches, but the Friday crew was able to clean up the drywall scraps. On Saturday, the crew focused hard on laying baseboard and trim and installed a few doors on 1630. Some window sills were cut and some other small details were worked out. So now the houses are starting to feel like homes in that they don't look like bare studs. There is paint, and trim, and electrical boxes (soon to have switches and outlets). Many thanks to the crews for their hard word. Have are some photos from the end of the day Saturday: View from the family room of 1630 N Gilmor:
