Tuesday evening

Another busy day at the work site... Jim Cluney, site supervisor, says the plumbing, heating and electrical work is coming along. The windows and exterior doors are expected to go in tomorrow, and then the siding can go on. Inside, the insulation will need to get done and then the drywalling will begin. There has been a small but hard working crew there daily- including the Care-a-vaners. Tonight a group of volunteers from the Washington Mennonite Church came to finish up the shingling. They have very graciously helped shingle the last 3 Habitat homes in Washington.

We can't thank the volunteers enough. Because of you, the cost of the home will be much less than a "conventional" home. Isabel will have to repay the cost of materials in the form of a mortgage, but the labor is given in love. We hope that everyone who works will feel a connection to Isabel and her family and will greet them when they see them at school, church, etc. We hope Isabel will feel a deep connection to the community and will have pride in her home ownership. We pray the entire community will be blessed by this experience and continue to "pay it forward." May God bless you all.

In His Service,
Lynette
