The shed give the Morey family badly needed storage space. In addition to helping a Habitat family, the students learned basic building skills from their teacher, Cliff Hay.

Over the years, Lou and his colleagues have been a tremendous source of help to us. They have put the plywood sheathing and felt on the last five homes we have built. They make short work of what would constitute a very difficult and dangerous job for an all-volunteer crew! Pictured are Lou Midura, Rick Keyes, Aaron Gates, Rick Dailey, Jason Griffs, Devin Midura, Dana Midura, and Caleb Keyes. Thanks to all for a great job!
Rick, Justin, and Aaron spent Friday morning, June 1st putting the plywood and felt on the Lewis home in Rupert. They made short work of a job that would have taken volunteers more time and would have surely been risky for people not accustomed to this work!

As a National Partner and a Cornerstone Society member of Habitat’s "More Than Houses” campaign, Schneider Electric has donated almost $6 million worth of residential electrical equipment for use in homes built in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In 2006, Schneider Electric renewed its commitment to Habitat with a pledge to donate $7 million worth of Square D® residential electrical equipment over the next four-and-a-half years. In addition, many of our people dedicate time and muscle to Habitat home builds. To further underscore our commitment to Habitat for Humanity, in 2007 the Schneider Electric/Square D Foundation will fund up to seven whole house sponsorships. The sponsorships fully fund the cost of the land, infrastructure and materials to build a Habitat home. The Foundation also funds the cost for employee teams to participate in one-day home building events. According to Habitat, 5.1 million American families have "worst-case" housing needs and are forced to pay more than half their income for housing, endure overcrowded conditions or live in houses with severe physical deficiencies. Worldwide, some 2 billion people live in poverty housing. More than 1 billion live in urban slums, and that figure is expected to double by 2030. Working in partnership with low-income families to build decent homes they can afford to buy, Habitat helps to break the cycle of poverty and hopelessness. We believe in the efforts of Habitat for Humanity and our role in facilitating our people’s involvement in Habitat activities in their communities. We are most grateful to Square D for supplying the circuit breakers for each of our homes.

For the first time ever, we installed a solar hot water heater at the North Bennington home. While this made the initial cost of the home more expensive, the long-term benefit and cost savings, along with the federal tax credit, made this an easy decision to make. Jim and Karen of Solar Pro contributed the installation of the system as their contribution to the Habitat home. The estimate is that the system will pay for itself with savings in four years.
