This time, we will be doing "pre-site" work, which means, working at various local Habitat sites, building roof tresses, nailing together walls for later raising, painting or anything else necessary to help the teams coming in next week for a "blitz".
So with enthusiasm for the work ahead, we carried, we nailed, and more. The most significant project was building a 6' x 12' shed at a homesite on Forest Street. From plans sketched out on a board for us, we built the floor, dug and cemented the footings, erected walls and finished the roof. And, constructed a door which was hung with a couple of hinges. Good work!
Now we have tired muscles, but they did not interfere with a drive to nearby Mexican restaurant for some burritos and other favorites from the extensive menu. Oh, and we got to sing Happy Birthday while there to one of our Jersey guys whose birthday it was today. Of course, the waiters brought out a tasty morsel topped with whipped cream.
More tomorrow.
