volunteer for habitat for humanity

I’m learning new things every day that might be useful for this goal down the road. I was up till 1:30 last night this morning “mudding” dry wall. And the first few hours it was actually kind of fun! :) After I get off work and get in a short run, I’ll be back at it; we have a lot of dry wall going up in that basement.

I learned a new skill that maybe someday I can use if they put up another Habitat house here locally – cutting and putting up insulation. It was actually kind of fun, and I’m so proud that I was able to do a decent job with getting holes for the electrical boxes in the right place, etc. – I’m not always the most spatially-oriented person. :) We are finishing our basement, so I’ll probably learn a lot of new construction skills before it’s all over.

I don’t have time to volunteer right now without letting my other responsibilities slip, I did send a donation check today. The time donation will have to come later.

We have a “Re-Store” here that I might be able to volunteer for at least once a month. It’s a store that sells mostly used or otherwise donated building materials to homeowners and is staffed by volunteers, so the proceeds go to Habitat projects. My weekends are always so busy and I’m working overtime though, so I’ll have to carefully consider before jumping in.
