We made it through SUNTRUST DAY 1! What a great team…the folks on STD2 have some really big muddy boots to fill. It started off a bit chilly but it sure didn’t take long to warm up…Bill made sure of that! Wall started going up immediately. STDAY1 Team was able to complete ALL outside and inside walls today. PLUS…break down a ton of scaffolding and carry it from four houses to our one…although, I’m not sure we weren’t just given “busy” work! But STD2 Team will be ready to go tommorrow. Everything seemed to go very smoothly. LOTS of terrific weather…in fact, many of us managed to get sunburned. STD1 Team leaves the rest in the very capable hands of STD2 Team and STD3Team. Good night and good luck!

Another beautiful day! SUNTRUST DAY 2 went as smoothly as STD1! Another great team of workers. Today STD2 team was able to set up scaffolding around three sides of the house; wrap 3 sides in Tyvek, and get the house ready for STD3 team will be able to “raise the roof”! When we arrived in the chilly morning, there were several folks that claimed to be “afraid of heights”...however, by the time we left, those fears were gone - AND THEY HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE IT!! Today we had a father/son team; a husband/wife team; and a very hard worker who had a kidney transplant less than one year ago! Again, tomorrow’s STD3 team has big muddy boots to fill. WAY TO GO TEAM SUNTRUST!! Thanks for all your help and helping to support Women’s History Month.

What a blessing to be a part of this wonderful day! Thanks so much for including me! We worked hard, laughed a lot, and made a great deal of progress. Thanks to our efficient and able supervisors Bill and Jerry, for teaching us with patience and empowering us with the jobs to move forward with this great house. I am so grateful for this opportunity, and I cannot wait to be a part of another habitat project!
