Hello everyone:

 

Work on the builds seems to be coming along nicely and as planned. Therefore, construction volunteers will be able to put in a little time tomorrow on two different sites.

 

The home at 1717 'A' Street is ready for interior paint. This home is on a fast track to get completed because of funding guidelines which state that funding for the entire home will be dispersed only if the home is completed by August 1st. This leaves us with a small window here, so tomorrow I'm hoping to power through this painting with the help of a small group of 5 -6 volunteers from Assurity Life Insurance Company. I could also use the help of a couple other volunteers that are handy with a paint brush and roller. Jerry's been more than helpful getting the benches, step ladders and leftover paint stuff from Arlington set up on site, and I will bring the rest.

 

In addition, there are a few odds and ends of framing and other loose ends to tie up on the job at 2621 N. 43rd Street (The Women Build).

 

Lunch is to be provided by one of our current families waiting for their home to be started. We will serve lunch in the warehouse.

 

Thanks! ...I sure hope I get a couple of painters :)

 

In Partnership,

Michele and the staff at Lincoln Habitat

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen:

 

Wow! The Women Build wall raising went very smoothly and as planned thanks to the organization and pre-planning of our wonderful work crews...and what a great group of pictures in the Lincoln Sunday paper!

 

Also, thanks to Tom's (our site Supervisor) quick thinking, we were able to show Lowe's the level of dedication and gratitude to them as partners by purchasing the house wrap from Lowe's--there certainly is no mistaking who sponsored this build day.

 

Work for tomorrow will continue on this site. Jerry has plenty of tasks to assign, and with Tom gone, he will need the help.

 

Lunch will be provided by one of our newly chosen family partners and delivered to the job site. This family is eager to begin working on their sweat equity, and some of you may have met her at the wall raising ceremony on Saturday.

 

Warm day tomorrow, so drink lots!

 

Warmest Blessings,

Michele and Habitat staff
