It was still winter when I volunteered on another house. This was house number 3 I had worked on that winter. I was excited because this house had the furnace installed and running so the house would be warm. We were going to be working on the walls and floor. After the usual safety talk and prayer we were assigned tasks or actually the tasks were detailed out and various volunteers took on each one. Well, I volunteered to work on the garage doors.
Of course, back out in the cold. We got the overhead door back on its track and rehung the walk through door that someone had kicked off the hinges. With that done we turned our attention to the front wall in the garage where someone had tried to drive a car through it and knocked if off the foundation. It took us a while and some additional muscle but we did manage to get the wall repaired and straightened up.
One of the house leaders had kind of taken me under his wing on these first houses, I have some construction skills but I am not a carpenter by any stretch of the imagine. He talked to me about become a Volunteer Crew Leader. I was kind of hesitant at first but he sais they have classes to show you how things are done in a Habitat build. So I decided to sign up for the classes and continuew to volunteer and see where it goes.
Next the Captol Build.
