“Wait… we’ve got three weeks until what?!?” I won’t name names, but I overhead someone in class this morning say this. And it’s true. If all goes as currently planned, we’ll be pouring concrete on May 8th. I don’t know about you, but I am excited!
After talking with a contractor about the site and what we want to accomplish, the space team decided on the locations and approximate sizes of both a home addition and a new detached garage/workshop. We also decided that we’ll need to pour concrete one weekend in advance of the first official “work weekend” in order to meet our deadline of finishing on May 23rd.
I’ve been having a blast telling everyone I know and meet about what we’re planning. I called my mom earlier today to give her a PolyHouse status update, and she had the brilliant idea of posting a link to this blog on my Facebook wall… thanks Mom, great idea! For me (so far) the best part about this project is telling other people about it. It feels good helping the family, it feels good finding out how generous and helpful strangers can be, and it feels good knowing that community service projects like this one really bring people together.
Editor’s comments – We hope to provide the family with an addition and a garage, among other things, but it is dependent on the generous contributions of the community. In order to see how you might help, please refer to the “About Polyhouse” tab page on this blog.
