Habitat for Humanity Superbuild Update!

CONSTRUCTION IS GOING GREAT!
Day 1: The first day went very well. We met the Day 1 Build Schedule. Almost 200 volunteers turned out to raise the walls with our partner families! After the Wall Raising ceremony, the volunteers reported to their assigned house site for safety speeches to start the work day. Everyone worked hard and had a lot of fun!

Day 2: It was a beautiful day in the Habitat neighborhood as volunteers joined together to put sheathing on the roof of each home, among other tasks. Members of the Unitarian Universalist Church brought delicious chili to help feed the volunteers. Mid-afternoon milk and cookies helped our wonderful volunteers meet the Build Schedule for Day 2!

Day 3: The roosters were crowing this morning (both the real kind and the iPod species) to get the volunteers started on their day of building for SuperBuild 2009. The sun was shining brightly as workers put felt paper on the roof to prepare for shingling while other volunteers installed siding. Electricians and plumbers worked inside to install wiring and plumbing fixtures. What a busy and productive day! We are still on schedule!! Go volunteers, Crew Leaders and House Leaders!! You rock!

Day 4: The weather was wonderful for building today! Our super volunteers worked hard installing siding, shingles and insulation today. We are still on track!! Pod species) to get the volunteers started on their day of building for SuperBuild 2009. The sun was shining brightly as workers put felt paper on the roof to prepare for shingling.

Day 5: Volunteers did a great job installing siding and shingles. It was exciting when Mayor Pam Iorior came out to the site to draw the name of the winner of the Super Bowl tickets from the "Square Up for $59" campaign for the Champions House. Later in the day, volunteers and drywall installers took a break when Warrick Dunn made a presentation to another Habitat homeowner from the Warrick Dunn Foundation. Our wonderful volunteers could not wait to get back to work. Thank you for your dedication!!
