Day 2

Saturday's work continued with sunny, but chilly weather.   Volunteers from all four churches made steady progress completing the wall board and tacking on Vytek.

By Saturday afternoon most of the windows were installed.

With House Captain Craig Gardner's optimistic encouragement the roof trusses were in place by the end of the day as well. 

Day 1

Despite cold weather and cloudy skies, we began our build early Friday morning with the "Blessings of the Build."

Pastor Gerrit read a short scripture passage and led the volunteers in prayer.  Then homeowner Dee Pania and Pastor Dick washed the hands of all the volunteer builders, a Habitat for Humanity tradition.

After a short briefing by the Habitat staff, work began on the framing of the house.  Before afternoon rainscut the work day a little bit short, the walls were up and progress was made on the wall board.
