Here is an image of what the build site looked like this morning – its a warm day for this kind of work, but the volunteers are on track to have the house under roof by tonight – this image was taken around 10 am this morning.

A faithful crew of volunteers from Rivermont Presbyterian Church was hard at work this morning when I rolled up to the jobsite – the side walls of the house were up, and they were about to raise the end, when we stopped for a bit for a press conference.

Here is an image of Charlie Belcher, just on of the dedicated folks from Rivermont Presbyterian who have partnered with Habitat for many years – thanks Charlie and everyone from the Rivermont Crew!
