Festival weekend.

In the morning
Ohler and Teagarden aided with insulation. In the afternoon it was
climbing ladders to staple aeration vents to the roof.
Ohler and Teagarden were so enthused to be a part of working on the
project and giving to the community that they pledged to come back
the next weekend to continue the work and the company committed to
three weekends assistance.
Since the June 25th ground breaking, the project has progressed
rapidly with the foundation/crawlspace, subfloor, wood framing,
siding, insulation, decks and porches, roof, electrical boxes and
wiring, whole house electrical box, plumbing, built in lighting,
some wood staining and door frames completed.

reviews electrical wiring to a light switch installed by a crew
earlier in the day on Saturday, Aug 26th.
The future home sits on the southeast corner of town, the east side
of the railroad tracks.
HFHLC spokesperson Tonita Reifsteck said, "If things go as well as
it has been, we will have a home for a family between Thanksgiving
and Christmas this year."
