This was my 3rd time out for Habitat for Humanity, and my 2nd time working on Leo’s house. The inside and out
look a lot different than they did 3 months ago. Today a majority of my work
involved dismantling the scaffolding on the exterior of the house, led by
project manager Ev. Once the scaffolding was taken down the crew took a step
back and looked up at the nearly finished exterior with some surprise at how far
along the place has come.

In the afternoon Todd and I mounted some roofing above the
porch. This involved some math, a circular saw, hammers and a harness. Todd, a
regular at Leo’s, told me about how he is interested in becoming an electrician
and that he has decided to use Habitat as a way of getting construction
experience, learning about the trait, and giving back to his community.

Leo was also on site today. After lunch, he was telling us
that this house is more than he had ever expected to have for his family of 7.
He is grateful for the opportunity to own a house, something he told
us he would not be able to do if not for Habitat.
