It has been almost two months since my first post The humanity of Habitat for Humanity where I introduced you to Habitat and Stephanie's home.
I would like to show you what happened on the house in March and April and how far the house has come along in these two months.
Yes, the house now has a roof, and windows and walls! So exciting.
March 4th
March 4, 2023 was a beautiful morning and we worked a lot on the second floor.
I got a look at the plans. Hopefully someday I will be able to understand them too. :)
Each week volunteers come from a different company. Here Stephanie, the homeowner, is telling the volunteers her story and how she came to have a house from Habitat.

More blocking today.
March 25th
March 25, 2023 was the day the crane came and installed the top of the house. I was really cool to see a crane up close and in motion.

One of my favorite things is finding the sweet messages all over the house as we are working.

The house has come a long way in a couple of months and my knowledge and experiences are 100% more than when I started. I knew nothing and now I am confident enough to to do some small projects on my own using power tools!
