Haven't taken many photos for a while as haven't really been around. Shorty has been studying for his Series 3 and I have been keeping out of the way.
Headed down to Alabama..... Roll.....Tide to work with Habitat for Humanity yet again. We were a small team this time, only 10 of us, but we made up for it in spirit and sweat.
We were working in Tuscaloosa where a large (F5 - I believe) tornadoe hit in April 2011. We were working on Mrs Hill's house for her and her 2 grandsons. Steven, our foreman, was super organised and got us all to work in no time.
In 2 and half days we built a front porch, a shed, a safe room and laid out the pre-build for a blitz build the following week (this is when a house is built in a week).

Good work. I need a shed, so next time you are in UK, you can build me one! Why not get this team working on the Montague Street duplex. Help the architect to meet the deadlines.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad idea re Montague street. Although hardwood floors going down rapidly... Will build you a shed in 2013!
