Construction update as of June 18-24

Hello to all! This week we will be onsite working on Courtney's future home!
Where: 199 East Housatonic Street Dalton, MA, 01226
What: This weekend we will be continuing installation of blue foam insulation around the exterior of the house as well as begin laying sheathing on our newly trussed roof!
When: Friday 8am-noon, Saturday 8am-3pm

After a successful month and a half of enthusiastic and productive Women Builds, we are looking forward to having everyone back on site with us! Every Friday morning and Saturday we will be building in Dalton and will be open to all volunteers.
 
Habitat will occasionally host outside volunteer groups and we ask that if you are interested in volunteering, you contact our volunteer coordinator Katiana Selens ([email protected]) or our volunteer engagement coordinator Aliza Mendelowitz ([email protected]) to notify us of your desired build day. This will help us to accurately plan for the expected number of tasks and leaders necessary for the day. We greatly appreciate your flexibility as the days shift and change. Thank you!

Women Build Update

Last week a team of independent builders, team ReAct, General Dynamics and team Pretty Tough worked through the heat and the sun to complete our last full week of Women Build!

We have all looked with astonishment and gratitude upon the immense amounts of progress that have been made on Courtney Mcardle's home since the beginning of this year's Women Build. We started with a field stone foundation in May and now we are forming teams to install shingles on our new roof!  As we look at all we've accomplished so far we can't wait to begin our regularly scheduled builds again as we continue to build this house and create a home.
