A great time of service and fellowship was had by all as you can tell by the pictures. As is typical with Habitat builds we did not do the drywall as we had expected. The house was not ready for drywall, so they moved us to a house that was ready for framing (my personal favorite). Nothing like showing up with a bare slab and leaving with a framed house. Neat.
Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. My digital camera died and I had to use my phone camera. Nuff said.
Organized chaos...less like Amish barn raising, and more like Keystone cops build a house. Good times!
HEAVE HOE!!!
Its starting to look like a house!
Hank Hills got nothin on the guys.
The happy, grateful home owner. This is what "building the walls" of our city is all about. This is the only way she and her family has of owning a home. Something many of us take for granted is out of reach for many Americans. Today we helped put the "American Dream" within reach of this woman and her family. Jesus tells us that when we do things like this we are not doing it for her, but for Him. So today we built a house for this woman, but really we built a house for Jesus. And He promises us that He will never forget that.
Thanks guys. Hope to see you all back at the next build day: 04-18-09. Put it on your calendar.
