Well, today is the last day of the build. It’s been quite a journey during these past six weeks. We arrived at the build site to a well cleaned home. The group of volunteers that cleaned yesterday evening did a great job! It gave our team a day to really put the finishing touches on the home. Bob did not want to disappoint us with a ‘sheet-less’ day, so here’s the last one for this build.
Our first task was to mount the American Flag. Typically, Habitat just gives the family the flag kit, but this year we had the time to proudly fly the flag. Looks great!
We then started the final paint touch ups. The white caulking edge around the tub was too wide, so we taped along the edges and used a small painters brush to paint the wall color around the tub. That’s really detailing :-).
We touched up the edges of the shelving in the master bedroom closet.
We then touched up anywhere there was a blue tape marker. Some of the touch ups were so small, we had a tough time figuring out what needed paint. Here’s Joe touching up a hand print on the ceiling.
By around noon, all the items on the list were done! It was a nice relaxing and satisfying way to end the build :-). We were all looking forward to the 5PM key ceremony and the 6PM celebration dinner at the Amish restaurant.
There were about 30 people in attendance for the house blessing and key ceremony.
As you can guess, it is a very heart warming ceremony. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house.
This team is AMAZING!
Congratulations to Jennifer, Abby and Maddox on their new home. I’m sure they will enjoy many years of happy memories here :-). God is good!
What a beautiful moment!!
It’s such a gift to a deserving family , a gift of love , hard work and faith .
I pray for their happiness and hopefully one day they could extend these blessings by helping others .
You set up an example of what loving God means and loving your neighbor.
Seeing our beautiful American flag raised with pride and respect it sealed the meaning of this project .
Congrats to all involved and can’t wait to see you guys soon.
