2008 March Build
An assortment of scenes through March 15, 2008

Thanks to a group of dedicated, hard-working volunteers, House 27 is close to complete after a mere 2 weeks




























March 10, 2008
We're back to beautiful Delta spring weather after a rainy night.
Sheetrocking!





March 7, 2008

At 2 p.m., snow started flying - a rare Delta occurence - last time was 8 years ago!
Electrical work is humming along and the sheetrock is going up.







March 6, 2008
It's another beautiful, sunny day, and the siding is close to finished.
The air conditioning system is coming along despite a shipping mishap.
The big pile of sheetrock was moved into the house by hand from the quonset hut that's 1 block away. Good job!








March 5, 2008

It's a beautiful, sunny day, so progress on the siding is speeding up.
The wiring is about ready for inspection and insulation has begun!







March 4, 2008
House 27 survived the storm!
The windows are installed. The hardy Care-A-Vanners are installing siding in the wind & cold rain.
The lucky ones are working on the inside!













March 3, 2008
Severe weather was forecast for the afternoon.
A friendly competition between the Care-A-Vanners & a Mennonite roofer resulted in the roof getting completed before lunch! The storms arrived at 3 p.m.
