Work begins on Herlihy St.

On site this week the team from Paterson is sharing the building work with Americorp young people, Canadian college students, and several small family groups.

At times the site seems very busy with so many hands at work.

The house we are building is a single family, three-bedroom home, situated on a narrow lot. This is supposed to be the Gulf Coast, tropical weather and palm trees, but, Monday morning, that climate disappeared and left us to work in 28oF temps. By afternoon the sun had warmed the area to about 35, only nominally better but manageable. The walls had been raised, roof work begun and the painting of trim and ceiling wood progressing.

The sky looks so beautiful - so blue, it is unfortunate that it is so cold down there.

You make us proud. Keep up the good work. Know that we are thinking of you.

Oscar, how are you behaving?

The sky is always the bluest when it's cold; it was warmer here today we hit 40 but there is still snow to shovel! Thanks for this update and great work toward building hope with homes, one hammer, one nail at a time- God Speed!
