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!

Today was a very special day as we had > 51 < construction workers!  (Our friends from Constellation Energy showed up in a BIG way!) Later in the day, students from the construction class from Granbury High School joined our team.  We also had 6 office workers and 1 lunchroom volunteer.  In addition to a lot of muscle, Constellation also provided burgers and fries from Grump’s while our dear friends from Acton Methodist Church provided a HUGE selection of delicious desserts.  Lunch was a feast and it was wonderful!

On the construction front the exterior of Eliana’s home has been completely painted with the customary 2 coats of paint Habitat provides.  Additionally, the inside trim is now finished.  Meanwhile, back at the warehouse, the students from Granbury High School finished the trusses and walls on the backyard shed for Eliana’s home.  Things are progressing well.

Over at Tye and Mallory’s house, the slab has been marked and the green board has been installed.  Our folks are out in the sun but they are gettin’ ‘er done!  Great job!

God Bless you all!  You are the very essence of God’s love and Grace…

Love Ya!
