Week 12, 11 Medbury Rd.

What?? You were wondering what the weather was like at 11 Medbury rd. this past weekend??

Well..... Once again we had the weather Gods on our side and because of that, switched our priorities to the exterior of the house. We had a very small crew due to some last minute cancellations, but that didn't stop us from getting numerous tidbits of work done.

For instance.... the dryer vent was installed, more paint was added to the storage unit, the front porch had some structural improvements made to it(courtesy of Pat Reddon ,yes, Pat , the electrician) Who would of thought Pat can do electrical AND carpentry!!!

Most important though, National Grid turned on our power this week!! YEAH!! No more lead cords from the neighbors house.

The handicap ramp was all framed up and is waiting for decking to be installed.

This coming weekend we will once again turn our attention to the completion of the sheet rock and if the weather cooperates, we will continue with the ramp.

Please make a point of contacting Habitat For Humanity if you would like to volunteer on our project or any other Habitat projects. It gives you a GREAT sense of satifaction and pride to know you made a difference in someones life.

Thank you and let's see a big turnout this weekend.

Week 11, 11 Medbury Rd.

It didn't matter if it was raining or sunny, because the main item on the work schedule was continuation of the sheet rock .
But just in case you were wondering, it was another beautiful weekend for work to continue on Matt, Chris and Penny's new home.
A small crew was on hand, but a ton of work was completed by days end. About 90% of the drywall is installed and some of the volunteers were able to take advantage of the nice weather and get some paint on the storage shed.
We have to thank St. Mary's 2nd grade class from Glens Falls for making us an old fashion brown bag lunch complete with ham & cheese sandwich (huge) , chips and a delicious apple.

Next Saturday should complete the install of the sheet rock and if weather permits, do some work on the porches and ramp.

Hope to see you Saturday and once again, A BIG THANK YOU to everyone for making our 20th build a project to remember!!!!

Week 10,11 Medbury Rd.

Another beautiful weekend( I know, you're getting tired of hearing me say it!!) greeted the volunteers at our Habitat build for Penny,Chris and Matt's new home.

The work load consisted of mainly interior work .Sheetrock was the main item on the agenda and our awesome volunteer crew installed most of the ceilings and some of the interior walls with drywall.
The storage shed out back is just about finished and is ready for a coat of paint before the snow flies!!

This Saturday should be a continuation of sheet rock installation and maybe some paint applied to the shed.
A big "Thank You " goes out to "The Woodsmen Of The World" for supplying a delicious lunch this past Saturday.

See everyone on the 9th and let's keep up the great work for Habitat For Humanity's 20th build.
