After a rain delay that stopped work yesterday afternoon, the team was ready to make up some time today. The habitat team did a great job in preparing and leveling the site before we arrived, so while there was a little mud at the worksite, it was not a major issue.
We started the day finishing up the mud sills, which took less than an hour.
After we finished that task, Bob the Builder split us up into two teams. One team would stay at the site and finish up the foundation ‘box’. The other team would go back to the pavilion at Faith Lutheran church to pre-build the interior walls. Joe and I joined the wall assembly team, since we had not done this yet on any of our previous builds. We were given a book with detailed plans for each of the walls. After some instructions, we started right in. Here’s a picture of Joe and Bill’s first wall build.
Ramona and I were working on wall components, in different configurations. Fun stuff!
We have the opportunity to work with so many great people who have been building with habitat for years. It is truly amazing to see people in their 70’s and 80’s building houses. They are certainly great role models!
We’re ready for another great day of wall building tomorrow 🙂
The feeling of accomplishment has to be overwhelming! I feel like I am in your shoes as I read!
How are the wood pieces connected. Do you use brackets with nails or screws. Is one person assigned to cut the wood Who provides all the tools. Such a wonderful project
Love the pictures of ypu and your amazing co builders
Great pics! Hope the rain stays away.
