Habitat

I spent the morning helping to build a house for the local Habitat for Humanity chapter. I had a blast! By the time I left, the outside walls were up (save for one) and most of the inside walls were in place, except for a few that hadn’t been delivered yet. We had quite a crew: two or three Pakistani and Indian guys, a nice Jewish lady (and her dad, visiting from England), and a bunch of white male retirees of various degrees of grumpiness. Everyone worked together well, though, and it was really humbling to realize what this house means to the family that will be living in it. I’m looking forward to my next work shift.
