WE BUILT A HOUSE!
Yesterday Scott S. and John B. and friends spent the morning at the Amity Cathedral of the Rockies church parking lot building framing sections for a new Habitat house. Team #7 constructed 4 sections, some more complicated than others. All the completed sections are loaded onto a truck and shipped to Richland, WA for the next Habitat build. (The  Boise location isn't ready yet). Hundreds of volunteers completed about 70 sections for this two story house. Scott's experience and expertise was critical to the team's success!
