Habitat for Humanity

Last Saturday my small group volunteered for Resurrection Habitat. This is our church's (Church of the Resurrection) organization of people to help out with Habitat for Humanity. This is something that I have wanted to do for a very long time. There are a few pictures here to look at.

We had to get up very early. Early enough to meet and be at KCK at 8 in the morning. Had I not taken a couple wrong turns we would have made it. I guess I don't even like the GPS telling me what to do.

The house we were working on was almost complete. We were putting the final coat of paint on the walls and painting the trim. Four of us guys were able to make it and our wives were so kind to be Lunch Angels which are the people that make and bring the food out to the site. Kristen, Heather, Amanda and Erin made a whole ton of sandwiches and brought other snacks to us as well.
I was hoping to get in on some more construction than what they had available for us this time. Guess that means I get to go help again! :) I enjoy painting and doing all that but it is what I usually do. I am somewhat proficient at it and like putting my skill to good use. However, I really like doing the more labor intensive stuff as well. Maybe next time.
