October Update ... Painting Now!

As of today all crack filling is complete and we have a primer coat of paint on most of both units. Will complete primer coat tomorrow and start finish coat as well. All painting should be completed by next Tues if all goes well.

All insulation was blown in the attic yesterday and the NSCC crew will continue work on trim, stairs flooring,cabinets and decks. Most interior doors are hung.

Our electrician will start installing lights fixtures plugs etc, next week. We'll hopefully be ready for all plumbing and heating connections by the end of the month. Once the water is connected we'll finally finish our landscaping.

Things look really great and our amazing crew of students are making great progress.
I don't want to suggest when we'll be totally finished. As you know I've done that before and been very wrong. All I'll say is .....we're close!!

Kenny Cogswell ,our dry wall person made an interesting comment to me today. He said that when Gerry invited him and his team to pitch in and help us out ,he was honoured. Does this not once again describe  the feelings of many folks who decide to get involved with Habitat. Thanks Kenny!!
