It was a super Saturday indeed!  Cooler temps in the morning but back into the 90’s in the afternoon.  Our hard working volunteers give glory to God while continuing to diligently build homes and make dreams come true!  Their excellent teamwork and fellowship are both a testament to, and an example of, God’s love.

Today we had 16 construction volunteers (4 of which were homeowners) and one lunchroom helper.  Lunch was provided by Lakeside Baptist Church and consisted of a “lunchbox” from Firehouse sandwich shop.  We had our choice of turkey, ham or beef sandwiches and they were big and delicious.  I particularly enjoyed the big chocolate chip cookie that was provided in the lunchbox!  Thanks to James from Lakeside for helping to serve our volunteers and family members. 

At our construction sites work continued at a steady pace.  Eliana’s closet shelves have been installed and painted.  Work continues with sanding and caulking and is almost complete.  At Ty and Mallory’s home Wood + Nails + Volunteers = lots of walls going up!  Top plate is being installed and the porch header is being worked on.  Such a great sight to see one house completely in the dry, and another starting to resemble a home.  What an exciting time for our beloved homeowners.

Thanks guys!  God Bless us all…

What a wonderful Wednesday!  While temperatures were still high, they were a little better than earlier in the month.  THANK YOU volunteers for all you accomplish in difficult weather conditions!  You are the hands and feet of Jesus and you bring glory to Him through your service!

Today we had 27 construction workers 7 of which were young people from the Construction Class from Granbury High school.  In addition, we had 5 office volunteers and one lunchroom helper.  3 of our volunteers were homeowners. Lunch itself was provided by our friends from First Presbyterian Church of Granbury and what a lunch was!  Goulash and lasagna and sausage links and enchiladas and salad and cup cakes and more than this old mans memory can recall!  However, I DO recall that it was all delicious!  Thank you folks…

Down at the worksites that HFHHC “Get ‘er done” attitude was alive and well. Eliana’s house is now completely painted inside and out!  All of the paper covering the floor has been taken up and all material covering the windows has been taken down.  Shelving in the closets has been installed and the backyard shed has been moved on site and is currently under construction.  Meanwhile the walls at Ty and Mallory’s house are almost complete.  It’s really starting to take shape!  Our volunteers are absolutely awesome!

Thank you all and God Bless us each and every one!

What a great Saturday!  The Lord Blessed us with slightly cooler weather and our hard working volunteers got a lot accomplished.  21 construction volunteers, 2 office volunteers and a lunchroom expert, all worked with diligence and grace to make it a successful day.  

The wonderful folks from Granbury Church of Christ brought Chicken Express chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and coleslaw.  These fine folks also brought a large variety of desserts! It was an excellent lunch.

At the work sites, progress continues at a good clip.  At Eliana’s home (4102 Canyon Rd.) final preparation for painting the interior was completed.  Trim was also added to the opening around the attic stairs.  Next door at Ty and Mallory’s home (4104 Canyon Rd.) the green board and top plate were cut and marked. However, the big deal of the day, was raising the first wall of their new home! That is always an inspirational moment for the family and volunteers.

God Bless us each and every one!
