Habitat for Humanity

Instead of going to work today, my work group and I went out to the Habitat for
Humanity construction site in Aloha. H4H was attempting to finish up a couple
of houses before Christmas, so our work wasn't particularly difficult--half the
work was applying primer to doors, mouldings and baseboards, and the rest
involved laying down wooden tracks for pouring concrete, compacting rock,
hauling dirt, erecting decorative
posts on the porches, installing shelving, and screwing plywood onto the porch
rafters. I enjoyed myself, but wish that we could have done more actual
building construction and less finishing work. But--since it is mid-November,
having a roof would have been a huge bonus if it had rained that day.
