 Framing begins with help from our two future Habitat homeowners. 
Homeowners do sweat equity after they are selected to be Habitat partners, but before they complete and move into their new houses.

                       Above are pictures of Bill Chapman from Best Paving, Inc. on his bulldozer spreading topsoil. Between Saturday and Sunday, Bill succeeded in rough grading the entire site, spreading the huge pile of topsoil, and boxing out for the driveway. We owe Bill a BIG thank you for doing all this on his weekend.
