We received lots of info today from our contact for the first Habitat build in North Carolina. Since we are new at this we will share more of the details about how things operate. Maybe some of you will decide to try something similar in your future.
We now know that we will be working for the Chatham Habitat for Humanity and doing finish work (touch up painting, installing cupboards, finishing trim) on one of three houses they are currently building. This group has built 82 houses in 19 years. That's pretty amazing! They have also added staff and opened two resale stores where construction related items are available for sale to the general public with the profits going to finance Habitat builds.
We will be parking our trailer at a farm called Horse Heaven Farm. I'm guessing that there will be horses there. The house we will be finishing is actually located in Siler City, about 10 minutes from the farm.
We are discovering that these builds seem very well organized with lots of advance information going out to team members involving local place to visit, shop, eat, do laundry, etc. as well as details about the site where we will park and the site where we will build. It's all very encouraging and now we feel like we have a better idea of what to expect this weekend.
Please remember to pray for us on Wednesday and Thursday. Those will be our travel days and we would appreciate your prayer support. God bless. Thanks for checking up on us. We'll keep you posted. Looking forward to "seeing" you 'On the Road'!
