Up Go The Walls!!

What a day! On Thursday (July 22), a crew of volunteers from IBM laid the deck for House 3 (Bol's house), and got so much done in a day, that they challenged Saturday's crew to get four walls framed and up... the gauntlet had been thrown down - and we rose to the challenge with enthusiasm.

7 hours later, and in 90+ degree heat and high humidity, four walls were framed and up! (Not to mention the basement floor joists had been supported in the basement (the intrepid over-the-head-hammering crew of Michelle, Colleen and Katie got a good shoulder workout!).

Thanks again to all who volunteered this week, it was great to meet more of our Charlotte neighbors on Saturday!!





Mike's in charge, making sure it all gets done according to the plans.




Nothing quite so exciting as being a part of the building of your own house, right Bol?


One wall up!












Framing the walls!



HYDRATE!!! We went through 10 gallons of water in 4 hours... and then some!



Hot and tired, but still smiling! Great job everyone! Look, Bol! Your house has walls!!!
