On Tuesday, Aug. 3, 24 women from the Polk County community gathered early in the morning to further the home ownership dream of Billie Henderson. Over the next six hours, they would apply siding and roof shingles and lots of caulk. They scrambled over the roof and all around the four sides of the house, as well as inside, where they sheet rocked the enclosure for the water heater. All in all, in spite of the heat and humidity, the women had a grand time under the tutelage of Carrie Hamilton, Cathy Conner, and Willard Moody, construction superintendent.
Already, the women are looking forward to Women Build 2011!
