Habitat volunteers have been busy getting ready to "raise the roof" on their latest project.The second floor ceilings were too low. Friday,  the volunteers showed up at 8:00 and after a brief safety meeting, began to remove the house roof. By lunch time the volunteers had completely removed the roof and even had a  coffee break. The team of volunteers could be up to 15-20 people.

Starting Saturday morning at 8:00 the wall extensions were built, braced , and windows framed. Then the trusses were pushed, slid and pulled by over 12 volunteer workers. By 3:00 the trusses were installed and covered until the next work day, Wednesday. The workers enjoyed one or more breaks with coffee and donuts furnished by Dunkin Donuts, and lunch furnished by the ARC people.
