What a weekend at THGB!

This was another awesome weekend at The House God Built. In fact, the last five days have shown unimaginable progress. When Wednesday began, all that existed at 529 S. Hanover was a basement but now it is really looking like a house. The exterior is framed up as is almost all of the interior. Shingles are going on today and once the Tyvek is completed, the house will be weather tight.


Just as important though, we enjoyed having the LaCroix confirmation class and their mentors working on the site Saturday morning. They helped move literally at least a ton of bricks and seemed to actually enjoy digging mud out of the basement. Their enthusiasm for serving was uplifting. Later we had a huge cookout on the vacant lot across the street. It was a great time of building community by fellowship while we took a break from building a house.

The blog also has a new feature that premiered this weekend. In the column on the right there is a button that says 'Construction Schedule'. Click on this for details on what has been done so far and what remains to be done. Items that are completely to the left of the vertical line are finished, items that straddle the line are in progress, and items that are to the left still need to be done.

Come back and take a look at the blog frequently as we'll update continued progress and opportunities to volunteer frequently.
