Looking forward to Johnson Controls coming again on Friday and Infor joining other volunteers on Saturday, but here is the big fun… some of Habitat’s staff members will work on site Thursday and others of us will be out at sites working with volunteers on Friday. Friday staffers may work over on Congress at the Good News House since we have a pretty full crew on Watling Friday.
This weekend we will finish the living room floor and cover it with protective paper. We need to get the kitchen cabinets in place, the shed is mostly built in parts but needs to be assembled and roofed, lots of work to do on concrete forms for the driveway and sidewalks and now we turn to interior doors and trim. Baseboard trim needs to be painted before it is cut and installed. This was less important when we had a gap at the floor and carpet was going in, but now that the baseboard trim sits right on top of the laminate flooring, we can’t be painting after the fact or it will end up all over the beautiful floor. There is lots of work to do. Bill expects to extend the build 2 weekends at most, might wrap it up by August 8 but we will assess that and decide after this weekend.
