Construction Report for Saturday, January 12, 2013


17 volunteers braved the damp morning to help.  Home owner present was Olga Hernandez.  New Volunteer: Jennifer Shelby


House #65 – Marnye’s home

A/C work in attic
Some insulation work
Interior clean up

House #66 – Olga’s home

Completed all of the interior framing.

The Habitat volunteers were treated today with “homemade” chicken salad and ham and cheese sandwiches; three different types of stews and soups; and a variety of all “homemade” brownies and cookies.  All of this wonderful, much appreciated food was brought to us by Lakeside Baptist Church, the David Clinkscale group – the Bykota Sunday School Class.   

The fun part of getting the food was the members of the class who delivered the food stayed to help serve our hungry “crew”.  This gave all of us an opportunity to get to know this group and share some of their recipes.  We fed 20+ volunteers plus the Lunch Bunch and the Sunday school class stayed and shared the lunch meal with us. The total number served today was 30 (not counting the seconds some us enjoyed).

It was a little cool to sit out on the benches, so we needed to set out chairs in the tractor-side of the shed.  It seems Bill created a “monster” when he agreed Sarah Seals did know how to drive a tractor.  So with everyone looking on anxiously, Sarah  backed out the “big orange” tractor and we set up the chairs.
