Doug’s post – a big effort

We reveal the house to the family in less than a week.  I’ve spent about 40 hours at the site over the past 3 days.  It’s amazing how much is getting done.  All of my fellow students are also working extremely hard on this.  I don’t see anyone standing around like they don’t want to be there, everyone is dedicated and wants the project to be a success.  The biggest indicator of success I can see is the pure dedication that everyone has shown to this project.  Yes, we’ve made lots of progress and are meeting our milestones, but the dedication is what makes me confident that we will overcome any obstacle we may face in the next week.

This has been said many times, but I’m overcome by the amount of generosity the community has shown in support of this project.  It’s overwhelming to think about all the people who are contributing to this project, both on the site and off.  All of our donors, the contractors who are donating a large amount of time at their expense, student volunteers who are willing to make the drive and spend long hours on the weekend, and of course my fellow Poly students.  The effort being spent on this project is enormous.
