There were 43 volunteer builders on the Habitat build on July 31. At least 18 of them were from St. Joseph Catholic Church, under the leadership of Art Martinez, who is a professional builder in "real" life. There were also about a dozen "regulars" from First United Methodist Church, plus several others from First Baptist, Central Baptist, etc. What a wonderful crew they were!
What they accomplished was to finish "wrapping" the gable ends of the house and began installing siding. In addition, a large part of the roof was shingled. Further, fascia and soffit were installed, along with some prep work for installing the roof. Inside, the water heater space was sheet rocked and additional framing was put in place.
The Catholic Daughters from St. Joseph provided food for a morning break as well as lunch. Everything was delicious and bountiful. Thank you, Daughters!
Tomorrow, Aug. 3, will be Women Build day. The next general work day will be Saturday, Aug. 14.
