On Saturday, Habitat kicked off it's new house, sponsored by Housing for Housing and benefiting Chynitra Brown and her family! It was...probably one of the hottest days of the year. Somehow the heat index got up to the mid-90s before we even broke ground, and I almost over-shot my credit limit buying ice from Kroger. That didn't stop our great volunteers from Housing for Housing though. They got more done before noon than sometimes gets done all day, and when 11:30 rolled around and I broke out lunch (generously provided by Papa Johns), we couldn't even tear the group away from their work. Overall, it was a great kickoff to our 59th build, and hopefully for the next sixteen weeks(or possibly less, considering how productive this group was), the summer heat won't be so rough. God bless and take care everyone!
