West Rupert HomeWe will be adding photos each week of the home we are building for Glenn and Christine Morey and their two daughters, Grace and Makayla. When photos are added, we will place the most recent photos at the top. We also put some of the photos on Shutterfly. You can see slide shows and order these photos. Go to www. shutterfly.com - login at "member sign in" (top) with bennhabitat@yahoo.com and the password is habitat. Then select Morey #1 or Morey #2. As more albums are added, the numbers will increase. May 20th - Day 3 On a picture perfect Vermont spring day, we built the deck. May 7th - Day 2 - A small crew did a great job cutting and placing the plates for the top of the walls and then made sure everything was level. We also sorted and stacked the lumber that had been salvaged from Kimball Self-Storage in Manchester.
We coated the exterior walls with tar - then glued insulation to the walls. We are now ready for the floor to be poured and to have the foundation back filled.
Russ, Jesse, and Don prepping the walls. It was a very good start!
Jim Sheldon of Sheldon Excavation, Inc. dug the hole for the foundation and Rusty Martelle built the forms for the footings. The footings and walls will be poured during the week of April 21st. We expect to have our first volunteers to the site, on Wednesday, April 30.
