We have been working on the planning for this years project and decided that we should probably update what we have been up to since the last post.
We took a group of 17 people last year and built a home in just 3 1/2 working days! It snowed about 4 inches on New Years Eve, but we had the house shingled and dry so that we could work inside and stay warm. We were able to get the sheetrock hung and a tape coat on before we turned it over to the family. It was a lot of work, but what a great feeling of accomplishment when it is all said and done!!
This year Stuart went down at the end of October and worked with some of the locals to form and pour a footing/foundation for one of the two houses that will be built this year. The locals are going to help the family that lived next to the house we built last year to tear down the pallets and tin roof that was their home, and pour a foundation for them so that we can get started as soon as we get there this year. We are planning on building 2 homes this year! We hope it all works out!

We are going to post the Application and information for the projects here on the blog, so if anyone is interested in participating or donating, they will be able to get the information right here. We will also be posting some pictures from last year and earlier this fall.

If anyone has questions, please feel free to call Stuart @ (801) 940-0963 or Carol @ (801) 771-0232.
