Friday our old friend Wes Demory and I, make that mostly Wes, set the kitchen cabinets. We installed them and they look really good. We were out of there in about 4 hours. Wes also measured for the countertops and those are being worked on. Wes will fabricate it and install them this week. Wes, by the way, met his wife Angela on one of our jobs in St.Louis about 12 yrs ago, they now have two great children. We are not matchmakers but we did provide a venue where two super people met, fell in love and married. What a cool story eh? So come on out it may happen to you if you want.
Saturday was an open build and we got a ton of stuff done. We finished the front porch and got a great bunch done on the back porch. A new volunteer, Josh, came by and after a bit of mentoring, he ended up coping and installing almost all of the base board, he did a great job on a tedious task. We also framed the windows in casement until we ran out, it's looking rather cool.
Another exciting part of Saturday, Mr. Appliance of Sterling, VA, was on site to donate a beautiful new dishwasher. Mr. Appliance is partnering with Loudoun Habitat for Humanity this fiscal year to provide dishwashers to all of our new home owners! A very special thank you to them!
We have open build days on both Thurs and Sat this week, so please come on out, we really do need your help. If you would like to volunteer, we ask that you sign up prior to showing up through this link. There will be several more open build days on this home til we complete so please continue to check the website for availability (you can use this link). This week we will finish the back porch railings and stairs, tile the bathroom floors, begin tiling the bathroom walls, trimming out the windows, finish painting the doors and install door hardware. As I have said before we are in the home stretch with tasks. Soon we will begin punch list stuff, i.e. little fix this or that tasks.

We will begin work on this town home next Thursday 24 Aug. with a team build which will mostly be demo work. Right now I am working up the game plan with my house lead Ed Tobias. We will be focusing hard on this town home as it needs to be completed by mid Sept. We will be working on this town home Thur. and Sat. also for the next few weeks. The upstairs hardwood has been refinished by our good friends at Loudoun Floors, the roof will be replaced by C2 Operations and the attic will be insulated by our long term partners at Davenport Insulation, good guys all.
