February 18 Build Day

Posted on February 18th, 2009 by sudburyhabitat

A great crew today for a Wednesday; lots of progress!

Roofing started — shingles are now on part of the front half of the roof!  A crew on the roof was assisted by lots of carrying of shingles up to them (shingles are heavy!)

The drywall also arrived today via a huge delivery from a huge flatbed truck.  We offloaded by hand something like 396 pieces of drywall — drywall is heavy too!  Check out the photos to see the impressive truck parking job between the trees.

Today also saw another door installed on the first floor (only remaining door is now one of the basement doors), plus lock sets installed on all doors.  And, some much nicer (but still temporary) steps leading up to each of the side doors — getting into the house will now be *much* easier!  Additional trim was installed outside, and more….
