Habitat House

Eric was asked about a month ago to be the project director for a Habitat for Humanity build that our church was sponsoring. He agreed and has been organizing volunteers, permits and food for the 5 week build. They will work each Saturday and Sunday from 8am-5pm for the next 5 weeks. They started this past weekend and got a lot done. They are on schedule and things are going well. Well, except for the fact that Eric shot himself with a nailgun in his finger. It's just swollen and oozing "guts". That's what Eric says. He's going for a tetnus shot this week!

The build is special to all of us members at Harpeth Hills because the homeowner is a member of the congregation and a wonderful lady. Her name is Alice and she has a young daughter, Leslie. Alice cleans the building at church and attends there with her daughter. She is a great lady and is so nice.

Here are some pictures from the weekend. This is Alice. She worked on the build the entire weekend.

This is Leslie. The group that put the floor down also put a Bible in a metal casing and attached it to the footers in the crawlspace so that Alice and Leslie could always be "walking on the truth".

This is Alice and Leslie.

Everybody is just standing around in this picture because it was lunchtime.

This is a picture looking down the street toward the build site.

This is a picture of the street sign for the road. It's one of my "creative" pictures.

This is a picture looking down the road from the driveway of the build site.

Here is the same picture, just black and white. Pretty, huh?

I'll be taking pictures of the progress each weekend. I'm planning to make a photo book for Alice when everything is done. I'll post more pics each weekend.
