Building in Brookfield...

What did I order again?

The menu...

Here comes lunch, a la Dick.

No, it's not all fun-and-games at Habitat jobsites -- sometimes we eat, too! And here's lunch being handed over by Mallory Mac to our own Jim Neighbors -- Mallory works for O'Neil's Sandwich and Coffee Bar, on Greenwood Avenue in Bethel, which has been delivering most excellent sandwiches to us, cheap, every Thursday. Thanks, O'Neill's...and to Pat O'Neil, a Thursday regular, who volunteered his son P.J. for the assignment....

Work? Oh yeah -- we got most of the first-floor ledgers and second-floor joist hangers in, setting up the site for the Saturday crew....

Movement on Maple

So we started with an empty deck in the morning on Danbury's Maple Ave....and by 3pm had most of the SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) up! The entire first floor was upright by the end of the day; the second floor will go up in the next couple weeks. Not bad, eh? Stay tuned for what will be, we hope, a relatively quick build....

Here's one for Dunkin' Donuts!

About time, eh, that the local Dunkin' Donuts got some recognition for its services to HHfH? By now -- seven years later? Eight? -- we've drunk a tanker-full of coffee, and eaten pallets of donuts, on our way to building...yes, a baker's dozen of houses! Day in and day out, no company has contributed more to volunteer morale...and for that, Dunkin' Donuts, much thanks! And a particular shout-out to the DD store on White Street, which has supplied countless Boxes of Joe for our Danbury builds....
