First Day On Site

Today we got up bright and early to head to our Habitat for Humanity work site. The site we are assigned to is only about 6 miles from St. Paul but we hit some morning traffic and it took a little bit longer to get there. The neighborhood we are working in has 5 habitat houses being built right now. We spent the majority of the day working on two of the houses. Many members of our group spent their day on the roof and then some did interior work such as drywalling or installing anchors that create a stronger foundation for the possible hurricane winds that this area faces often. Though it was a long day we had a good time and the day went really fast! I know many of us enjoyed learning new skills that we never had the chance to try out before this trip. Unfortunately now I think most of our parents are going to expect us to help with more fix-it jobs around the house ;) After our long day at the site, we came back and enjoyed a nice dinner with members of St. Paul including the pastor and his wife. We wrapped up the day with a trip to the University of South Alabama for a baseball game. USA won the game and we had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather. Tomorrow should be another great day on site, hopefully we can continue to make great progress on the houses as the week goes on!
