| August Summary |
 |
August was a very busy month for us. We were able to complete all exterior house work including siding,
roofing, and gutters. We also finished any final framing and sheetrock installation
with the help of Merrill Lynch/Bank of America and Trinity Church. After hiring pros to
tape and spackle all the wall, we ended the month installing all interior doors and painting all doors and
molding. With the extremely generous donation from Sherwin Williams, we go into September ready to paint the house, install the flooring, cabinets and appliances. |
| July 17th- 18th |
     |
On Saturday, we had a large turnout of both 'regulars' and some
new helpers. We were able to complete ALL the inspector's
punch list items, side soffits and start sheetrocking. On Sunday, the employees from Ruth Chris helped us continue our sheetrocking and siding. |
| July 15th |
  |
After several weekends of spotty weather and holidays, we have
been able to get back to the project. The front porch is coming along and most of the siding is complete. We've passed our rough in electrical inspection and expect to have final framing approvals this week. |
| June 30th |
|
Bracco Diagnostics joined our affiliate for a day of both team
building and house building. In addition, they brought along a
very sizeable donation to our affiliate. Thank you Bracco! |
| June 26th- 27th |
|
While we had light turnout on Saturday, a veritable feast was
provided by Beverly Williams from the United Methodist church.
On Sunday the Cranbury Lions helped us work on the siding. |
| June 19th |
  |
While Sunday was a day off for all our Fathers, we were able to
have significant progress on the siding of the house. |
| June 12th-13th |
 |
This Weekend United Stationers helped out along with some of our regulars. We were able
to side most of the 1st floor of the house and take our final delivery of building supplies. |
| June 5th |
| Despite the 90' plus weather, the volunteers worked past 4:00 PM
to get ALL the windows & exterior doors installed. Siding was also started |
| May 21-23th |
| With the help of Bracco, Diagnostics, the Youth United and our two
cyclists Mike Linskey and Kathleen Oroho (participants in the Bike
and Build Capitol Ride), we were able to start
and complete the installation of all the 1st floor windows.
Plumbers also arrived to rough-in the entire house. |
| May 10-16th |
| With the help of some professional roofers, United Methodist Church and many dedicated volunteers, the house is COMPLETELY framed out and we have a roof and sheathing on most of the walls. |
| April 30 - May 2 |
| As you can see, we have been very busy little builders. With an
extra Friday build, and this weekend, we completed the exterior walls
of the 2nd floor and all major interior walls. If all goes well, we
will have our roof on by next week! |
| April 24th |
| Although Sunday was a washout, significant progress was made on the 2nd floor on Saturday. |
| April 18th |
| Today the Mercer County AG's office lent a hand to continue our sheathing and make our
house look like a giant white present. |
| April 17th |
| Today Black Rock joined us for our build. We were able to
get the joists, and most of the 2nd floor decking installed along
with a significant portion of the wall sheathing. I want to thank the Black rock team for an excellent build! |
