Happy Birthday, Charlie!
We had our 3rd build day today! This time it was with Habitat For Humanity of Mobile. They were very flexible for our large group of 32 volunteers, so when the forecast called for more rain, they switched our group into three houses needing interior finishing. I got my first experience with fitting flooring pieces into place and that took up most of the day.
The construction of these homes is quite intense! Although we were not part of the framing, they showed us how they anchored down all edges of the house with full height allthread to withstand hurricane strength winds and installed triple pane windows with extreme object impact resistance. One thing to say is that these Habitat homes will be around for a while!
After the build day finished, we had a short bicycle clinic for some neighborhood kids, showing them how to signal, pump up their tires, and to always wear a helmet. We finished up the day with a delicious dinner provided by our host Lella, who went through the effort to get taco salad and pizza donated to the cause. You are the best!
