AN UPDATE - BELIEVE IT!

Time has passed by in a hurry. It occurred to me that we haven't posted anything in a while. It's hard to believe that we could be so busy since we're retired.

After things settled down in October, we finished the Habitat for Humanity house the local affiliate had started in September. Subsequently, another one was started in early November to be completed it in January. Normally, we build three houses in the spring and two in the fall.

FEMA has featured our Habitat house that was under construction when Ike struck. It seems they were impressed by the building techniques to build a house that will withstand hurricane winds.


There have been numerous opportunities to help with rebuilding after hurricane Ike. I've been doing a bit of that in Surfside and Freeport. There's a lot of folks who don't have many resources, so relying on volunteers is the only way they will get their homes repaired. The effort has been rewarding.


This update is pretty short. I'll try to do better in the future. Of course, this is coming from folks who don't view a Netflix DVD for weeks at a time.
