CSC Staff hammers Habitat House....

The hardy team of Community Shares enthusiastically embraced our sponsored Habitat House on a very cold and snowy first day of February. Marty, Alyssa, Mary, Jesse, Kyle and I, along with CSC board member Greg Trainor, wore our nail pouches with pride as we hammered, sawed, carried, cut twice/measured once, slipped, and froze our way to finishing up the subfloor and door/window frames for the house.

Everybody's individual talents really shone on the different projects we worked on. Marty "Numbers" Kennedy took charge of any project requiring measuring or counting out studs for framing. Jesse proved he was the glue that holds us together by laying down beads of adhesive for the subflooring. Kyle and Alyssa built access panels to the crawl spaces beneath the floor. (Does that mean they're subversive or excellent at forging into unknown territory? You decide.) Mary and I got to crown studs for most of the morning. That's a real job, we swear! Email me and I'll tell you how it's done.

I think these photos really say it all. Those are not Kyle's every day glasses... he just likes retro look safety glasses.
