More on Minnie's house. Saturday some of the walls were raised and her daughter caught it on video. Minnie has worked on several Habitat houses and was teasing the construction crew about wanting plumb walls and a perfect house. Terry kept telling her to cover her ears, so she couldn't hear what they were talking about.
Then Minnie accused me of being the worst perfectionist. How dare she! I learned real early on that rough carpentry didn't have to be perfect because it got covered up. After that, weeeeell, maybe my perfectionistic tendencies did come out a little.
This is so exciting. Since this will be a one week blitz build, I'll try to add photos each day showing the progress made. It is really amazing to watch.
These photos show Saturday morning and afternoon. The front wall is almost ready to go up, but we ran out of 2x6s to finish it. The plumbers will be there early in the week to do the rough in plumbing and the construction crew and volunteers will finish framing this week.
Interesting to know.
