Habitat

So last weekend I participated in another "Charity" event - Habitat for humanity

Schneider is one of the sponsors, it works this way

This foundation is helping family with kids that arent qualified to get mortgage from the bank because of their low incomes and lack of down payment.

When I first arrived at the site - I was amazed and felt kinda cheated - i mean look at

THIS!


Isnt this too beautiful for charity and luxury for charity!?

anyway the explanation was: the land was donated located in this nice housing area, so they have to match the rest of the houses, cant just build a small stinky house. By the way this is a duplex, so we are helping two families.

Thanks Jim for taking all these beautiful photos.

So it felt like 30 degrees out there, hot hot weather...

we have :


the Carpenters

Then landscapers

The lumbers

and The painter



I think the crew built the fence on one side, level down the front yard and back yard, and put the stepping stones along the side yard.

quite a big achievement. BUt, but, but... I WANT THAT HOUSE!
