11 Medbury Rd. Week 2

What a difference a week makes!

Last week the Habitat crew worked through some brutally hot and humid weather and started Chris,Penny and Matt's new home.
This Saturday ,it felt like a touch of fall in the air first thing in the morning.Cool, crisp air greeted the volunteers who were on hand to start framing the walls. A small, but eager crew assembled the "headers" for the walls and all four walls were framed, sheeted and stood in place.
Pizza was provided by Rocco's of Corinth for lunch .

Next Saturday we will frame all the interior walls and brace everything up plumb and level in anticipation of setting the roof trusses the following weekend.

Thanks to all the volunteers who showed up and if you would like to help out, stop in Saturday and we'll gladly put you to work!!

See you Saturday!!!

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.
