On Saturday, November 19th, a very chilly morning, most of the KIDSPACE staff and some of their friends and family showed up at the Clark County Habitat for Humanity build site to volunteer their labor.
This house will soon be the new home of one of the KIDSPACE families.
One of the first things the site supervisor told us was, "I hope you're not afraid of heights. There is lots of ladder and roof work today!"
There was also lots of construction garbage and recycling to be sorted and hauled away.
There was caulking to be done . . . everywhere that the siding met wood.
The #1 PRIORITY was finishing up the siding. Mark and James took on that task. They are far better with tape measures, table saws and siding than the rest of us!
And finally, there was lots of windows that needed cleaning inside and out.
The prank of the day: the lady window washers stranded Mr. Antonio up on the roof while he was cleaning a skylight.
The KIDSPACE volunteers are strong and efficient workers. They made very short work of all the tasks to be done. We had 8 hours of work done in less than four hours. We found ourselves out of work. Our day was done!
So, 11 out of our 17 volunteers ended our day at Izzy's for a hearty and warm lunch.
The tab was on the bosses - of course!
