Week 17.week18 schedule

Sorry for the lapsein postings, but I was out of town.....so here goes;

Week 17 consisted of painting, painting, and more painting!!!! The Skidmore College crew was back for some more punishment of painting.

They did an awesome job and by days end, the ceilings were all second coated and all the walls were first coated.

The house is really shaping up.

Last weekend was a well deserved rest for all the volunteers and the Habitat members that do so much at and behind the scenes.Everyone is probably just about turkied out by now!!!

Soooooo, it's back to work this Saturday and the tasks at hand will be painting of walls, door slabs, jambs and window extension jambs and trim.

Hope we have a great turnout and once again "Thank You" from Habitat and Matt, Penny and Chris.

Week 16,11 Medbury Rd.

I'll give you one chance to guess what the weather was like this past Saturday??!!!

You Guessed It!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! Habitat has been SOOOOOOO blessed with the weather on this build, that even the volunteers who are on site each week are talking about it.

And with such great weather, we took advantage of it and completed ALL the remaining chores on the exterior;painting of the shed, completion of all the hand rails on the stairs and ramp and a little house cleaning in our storage unit.

While all this was taking place outside, an ambitious crew from Skidmore college primed all the walls and ceilings and applied the first coat of finish paint to the ceilings.

We would like to thank Matt Walsh from Stillwater who did an awesome job of taping the sheet rock and also Sherwin Williams of Glens Falls for donating ALL the paint for Penny, Chris and Matt's new home.

A delicious lunch was had by all courtesy of Jonesville Methodist Church Youth Group.

This Saturday should be a continuation of interior painting by the Skidmore College crew.

Hope to see everyone there !!!

Thanks from Habitat For Humanity of Warren, Washington and Saratoga counties.

Week 13, Week 14

Sorry for the absent week of blogging.

Week 13 was continuation of sheet rock and working on the shed. The handicapped ramp was also decked and prepared for railings.

Week 14 was the start of installing the railings (lots of railings!) on the ramp and stairs were also installed at both porches. The interior trim had a coat of finish paint applied and will be stored in the basement until the walls are painted.

Our taper ( Matt Walsh) from Still water will begin taping the house sometime this week and we should be ready to paint the weekend of Nov.13th.

This coming weekend work will continue on the railings and the rest of the trim that wasn't painted should get completed.

We hope to have some big volunteer crews signing up for the coming weekends.we know everyone is busy, but Habitat For Humanity NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!!!
