Saturday December 10th

This workday was an excellent day. We had a big crowd and could work on both houses at the same time. But more importantly, it was a big day for Sandtown Habitat for Humanity as they celebrated the 300th house dedication. What an accomplishment! Some of us have been around for quite a while and maybe have helped finish 10 houses but to realize the 300 home mark in an area of 4 blocks by 4 blocks has really pulled up the community and shared a lot of hoe with deserving families. It is definitely one of the reasons that many of volunteers love coming out and helping.

On this Saturday, we handled a variety of jobs including wall framing, laying joists for the third floor, and installing window boxes. The thought of having windows to keep out the cold in future workdays was very motivating, but without being able to access the third floor since the joists and subfloor have not yet been installed, we were unable to get window boxes up there. No windox boxes, means no windows so we will have to wait a little longer it have the houses sealed up from the cold.

Here, the crew works on installing window boxes on 1630:
