Valley of Peace work crew

Home owner (right) and volunteer (left)

Yesterday I had a good experience volunteering with a group of others on a Habitat for Humanity house being build just down the road from our church.  It was also a delight to meet the new, soon to be home owner, who was working alongside of the group.

The new home owner works in the military and is a mother of four children.  I'm sure they will enjoy their new digs when it is done.

The picture at right shows the nailing down of Hurricane cleats.  Ten nails per cleat were nailed into the cleats for each roof rafter.  That should be one secure roof!

Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity will be constructing their 1,000th home this summer!
