Hey
Folks,
As
I said last Sunday, during the Blitz Build weeks I'm just going to
post some pictures of our progress with very little chatting on my
part. Here we go...
Monday
04/08
 |
| The start of Day 1 |
 |
| Great volunteers from the Thrivent group |
 |
| Getting those center walls up first |
 |
Insulation around the outline of the
wall keep cold air from creeping into the homes |
 |
| Center walls up! |
 |
One way to keep our
homes energy efficient |
 |
North wall almost
ready to go up on house 3 |
 |
| Up it goes! |
 |
| The magnolia tree in bloom :) |
 |
| End of day for both houses |
 |
End of day for house 4,
officially named the Women Build house |
 |
| Cherry blossoms! |
Tuesday 04/09
 |
| Morning of Day 2 |
 |
Another super Thrivent group
working on house 3, the Thrivent house |
 |
| Front & back walls for house 3 getting built |
 |
Brandee, the recipient of the 2012
Women Build home, took a day off work to come help out |
 |
Bill, the fellow who does our house drawings,
schooling me on how to cut a notch with a skill saw |
 |
| Up goes the front wall on H3 |
 |
| Almost ready on H4 |
 |
We had the great pleasure to work with a
Women Build group, Trail Mix (the 3 on the right) |
 |
| Back wall up for H4 |
 |
| Front wall up for H4 |
 |
| End of Day 2 |
 |
| The Thrivent folks got a lot done! |
 |
| Women Build has a little catching up to do :) |
 |
The walls (connected) Brandee & I built! :)
It always looks easier than it was, especially getting the holes right on the bottom plate drilled for the plumbing. First attempt by me was a major fail. Had to redo, but it was right on the second time. It was so wonderful spending the day working with Brandee! She's inspiring & encouraging.
