1st Habitat build

Spent part of this past Saturday volunteering for a Habitat build.

I spent the entire time placing furring strips into cinder blocks with a hammer and masonry nails.

I was given feedback from the foreman that I was doing an excellent job.

I wanted to impress, especially since I had respectfully opted out of all suggested ladder and roof assignments.

We quit for the day after 4 hours.

I’ll volunteer again soon.

Just one note to self: don’t forget work gloves the next time to increase the time to the reappearance of finger blisters.

My wimpy hands will appreciate the same.
