Habitat Saturday

Ellen and I spent our Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. working on a Habitat for Humanity build site in an Atlanta neighborhood not too far from where we live. Trinity was a sponsor along with some other local area churches. This was the third one we've helped out with. This was day 5 of the seven day build.

Ellen the math teacher worked to measure and install baseboard. Ken the artist used not a brush but a caulking gun to seal doorways, windows, and those very baseboards that Ellen was helping to install. Others painted walls and trim, installed cabinetry, soffits, shingles, and porch railings. It's amazing what you can achieve in a day.

It was a beautiful day to build, but our muscles are aching now from crouching on the floor most of the day!
