Catch the Building Spirit

There were several from Wright State University service club Compassion in Action who helped with siding.

A grateful thank you to Enterprise Roofing for installing the roof last week. The did a superb job as usual. Work on the house progresses steadily.

The Golden hammers, St. Christopher KC Ted Schurr and Steve Albers have kept the project moving.  The garage trusses were set Tuesday and Mark and Max were on the roof installing sheathing today. Ron Koesters was the cut man and I got there at 12 to help finish the garage roof.  If you haven’t been out to sample Tim Jordan’s wife’s bar pizza, it is tasty.  Keith had 38 volunteers at the Women Build site Monday – he about had heat prostration.  The sewer and water is stubbed at the sidewalk.  Blue insulation and siding are on site.

By the grace of God, the project is moving along.

This will be the new home for Ira and Terese Compton and their family.

House Build Under Way

Thanks to a wonderful turnout of volunteers and a very generous trucking company, we were able to have the panels on site and ready for erection before 10:00 AM. This completes the official commitment CtBS made for this year’s build.

Many stayed to erect the exterior walls on the north, east and south sides of the house. Starting Tuesday, the build will continue by installing the top plate,setting the house trusses and erecting the west walls.

Also the interior walls can be installed..

Anyone who can help needs to sign-up with Habitat on-line.

Thanks to everyone who helped us meet our commitment.
