11 Medbury Rd. Week 1

Glens Falls Area Habitat For Humanity is proud to announce the start of our 20th build!

This past Saturday was our official groundbreaking ceremony for the new home located on Medbury Rd. in the Town of Greenfield.

First off we have to apologize for not getting the word out sooner about the dedication. The ceremonial date was pushed back twice due to scheduling conflicts among the various trades.

But after a hectic week in which Gallup Concrete poured the footings and walls, and coated the foundation , PCD Construction backfilled the foundation and dug the initial hole for the house.

We also have to thank Thompson and Fleming surveying and Engineering America for all their work prior to a shovel even being placed in the ground.

This past Saturday the main bearing beam was built and placed in the foundation and then the entire floor system was framed and the plywood floor was installed.

It was a brutally hot day, but the volunteers performed flawlessly!!

Special thanks to Price Chopper for providing lunch, along with Versatile Storage for the storage unit which will be on site for the duration of the project.Also Stone Industries for the portable restroom.

One more shout out goes to Hawk Well Drilling for continuing to be a huge supporter of our Habitat projects. The well has already been drilled and will be piped in later on in the build.
Next Saturday will be the day when we frame up all the walls for the new home for Chris, Penny , and their son Matt.

Hope to see a big turnout of volunteers and let's see if mother nature supplies us with a beautiful day!!

See you Saturday.
