Today we had our first build day and successfully assembled one wall of a duplex with Habitat for Humanity in Providence. I'll try to post some pictures, but it is pretty cool to have 15 people push up a wall of a house all at once. I also spent time with a guy named Mike marking the top and bottom plates of the next wall panel. I actually felt like I contributed to the process a couple times when I was able to read the plans and mark the rough openings of the doors and walls without any help from Mike.
I am otherwise exhausted and excited about the ride tomorrow. I had a quick last minute re-route due to the fact that I missed reading last year's evaluation, so we'll see!

ReplyDeleteToday (the 17th) DC is a gray breezy day, with the wind shaking an occasional rain shower out of the clouds. The kind of day that conjures images of overcast breezy days at the shore with the surf foaming and the sea gulls fussing.
