Had two very successful build days last week. I'm sure you tire of me writing that, guess you expect I would not say we had 2 lousy days. Guess I'm a predictable cheerleader, but it is the truth, they were good.

The Team build with our good friends from Wells Fargo on Thursday could not have gone any better. The 12 or so folks knocked it out of the park. My normally taciturn house lead, Bob LoPresti, was thrilled. What they did was paint for almost 7 hours. Ceilings, walls, and trim, and there is a ton of intricate trim. What we painted is absolutely transformed. We worked on the upper floor and got most of it painted, there is still a bit left to do on that floor and then there is the lower floor. This Thursday we have another team build with the folks from K2M, who are showing up at 9 am. There will be three of us leading them thru their efforts, we will work on finishing up the upper floor and then migrate down to the lower floor and paint it. Not sure if we'll get it all done but we'll give it a go.
Saturday, we will begin the stripping of the old deck boards and begin laying the new deck boards. As it is a fairly confined area of work and effort, let's have only crew leads show up. Crew leads, if you want to come out, please let me know ahead of time. Also, during these two days we will install a new window in the dining area, and also repair the tile in the shower. There is a bit of variety on the job.

The gang from HITT Contracting, Inc. along with about 12 wonderful Habitat volunteers, painted this town house. We got a ton of the painting completed but there is still a bit more to do. Will keep you posted on how we are going to accomplish that. Flooring needs to be installed, cabinets and vanities hung. It is beginning to look like a real home. It will be finished this month and the dedication of the home to the new family will be on Saturday March 10 at 10 am. Everyone is welcome to join us for this truly great and emotional experience.

No real change, just got the zoning permit plan and the overlot grading plan from our great friend Jessie Berg of Gordon Engineering. I will use those to get our building and grading permits from the county, and have them ready to build on when it's time, likely late April.
