#123 - 4102 Canyon Rd - Eliana

WE ARE BACK!!!

Our first day of the new build season was busy, productive and HOT!  Today your efforts in very uncomfortable conditions served as a perfect example of your dedication to the families we serve and the ministry we love.   

24 construction volunteers, 3 of which were future homeowners, worked side by side on a multitude of projects.  Meanwhile, 4 folks on our office staff continued to keep our ministry on track and did so without the benefits of air conditioning. Additionally, 2 lunch volunteers worked to set up our break room and help serve our entire team.  An absolutely delicious lunch was provided by the “Pairs and Spares” group from Granbury First United Methodist Church.   

Our construction folks worked on getting all the doors in the home installed as well as completing the interior trim work around the doors and windows.  They did an excellent job in difficult conditions.  

You guys are just the best!  God Bless you each and every one for sharing your time and talent and for always leading with the heart of a servant.  

Love Ya!

#123 - 4102 Canyon Rd - Shirley

We had 16 construction volunteers, 5 office volunteers and 1 lunch volunteer today.

We had a large turnout for our first unofficial workday.
The house got a good sweep and clean out. The A/C lines, the cradle for A/C unit, and the main A/C drain were installed. The A/C registers and the return take off was installed. Blocking for the tub was installed along with finishing the trim on the outside of the house and continuing caulking the outside.

Lunch was provided by our own chefs Jim Norton and Jim Dominguez.
Thank you for a delicious lunch.

We will have a morning only workday on this Saturday at 8:30!

What an absolutely GREAT workday!  A huge contingent (a least 22 folks) of volunteers from Constellation Energy joined 15 Habitat construction volunteers to work on our current home.  Additionally, there were 6 office volunteers as well as a lunch volunteer, and oh what a wonderful lunch it was!

Constellation Energy provided hamburgers and fries from Stumpy’s and Acton Methodist church provided a wide variety of delicious desserts.  Thank you all for your hard work, generous spirit and willingness to serve.  

Shirley’s house is really coming along!  All of the siding has been installed as well as the porch ceiling, window trim and soffit trim.  Caulking has also been started.  In addition, lumber was returned and stacked at the warehouse.  A very productive day!

God Bless each one of you for your servant’s heart and your willingness to share your time, talents and energy to do God’s work…

#123 - 4102 Canyon Rd - Shirley

Today, our volunteers consisted of 12 construction workers (including 1 future homeowner), 1 office volunteer and 1 lunch volunteer.  It was a full workday and a delicious lunch consisting of chicken fingers, coleslaw, green beans and wonderful homemade cookies was provided by Granbury Church of Christ.  God Bless you for your support!

Steady, consistent progress continues to be made on Shirley‘s home.  The shingles and all roof vents have now been installed and the scaffolding has been taken down and stowed.  Some additional siding has been put up and the soffit has been installed around the whole house.  In addition, trim work around the windows was started.  

The construction folks continually amaze and inspire me.  Their hard work in the face of May’s rising temperatures are a blessing to the families and bring glory to the good and gracious God they serve…

God Bless them each and every one…

Richard
