Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity

Kim is one of the house construction leaders that works for Habitat. Like I said before he took me under his wing and helped me learn allot about Habitats way of building a house. He also encouraged me to attend the Volunteer Crew Leader classes. So I did. After attending the classes I was looking forward to my first time working on a new house build.

Habitat was going to build a house on the steps of the capital. So I signed up for both shifts on day 2 the final day of the build. I was assigned the task of getting the siding onto the back of the house. I must have been living right. As I sat in an all day meeting on the first day of the build I watched out the window at the rain that came down quite hard at times. When I arrived at the build site for my day of building I was hoping for better weather then the day before. It was cool and damp but after the sun was up a while it dried out and was warm that day. Most of my volunteers that day were ladies from Wells Fargo and a couple from the Governors office. They did a great job and at the end of the day we had the back side on the house insulated with foam board and sided. I felt really good about how everything went that day.

I will be back again.
