August 26: Siding Primed and Applied Marie and her daughter Lisa and son Niko proudly stand in front of their new home. In just a few months it went from an empty piece of land to an almost complete home. For the past couple of weeks the volunteers have been priming and putting up the siding of the home. The front and the sides of the home have been fully sided and the back of the house is about halfway finished. August 5: Timberpeg Assembles the Porch at the Side Door
July 15: Shingles on the Roof - Volunteers from Various Faith Communities
Since the home is only being worked on Tuesday afternoons and Saturdays, the progress has slowed down. The humidity and direct sunlight have also made the roofing a little slower than usual. The shingles began going up on the roof July 8 and we took this photo July 15. They had made about the same amount of progress on the opposite side of the roof at this time. Homeowners, IsaMarie (green shirt at the bottom of ladder) and Brian (on roof, to the right) and their daughter, Lisa, were on-site helping. Members from the Hartland Congregational Church and the Hartland Universalist Church were also volunteering their time. June 25: Bike & Build - Northern US Route Arrives and Begins Roofing
This extremely energetic and fun group of college-aged students came out to help begin roofing the home on Wednesday, June 25. They represent the Northern US Route for "Bike & Build," a not-for-profit organization that raises funds for affordable housing projects nationwide. These students will spend their entire summer pedaling cross country and helping to build affordable homes along the way. They began in Portsmouth, NH and will end their journey in Vancouver, BC. Visit the Bike & Build website to learn more. From here on out, the remainder of this home will be built Tuesday afternoons and Saturdays only. June 19, 20 and 24: House is Enclosed Using Structural Insulated Panels Donated by Foard Panel
Foard Panel arrived on Thursday, June 19 to begin installing the SIPs. They had the walls up by the end of the day Thursday. And were hoping to finish Friday. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, as it rarely does, and they were only able to install the back side of the roof. The rain came again on Monday and the crew was finally able to finish up installing the SIPs by early afternoon, Tuesday, June 24, before the thunder and lightening appeared yet again! June 17: Frame Assembly Complete

It only took about 4 days and with the hard work from our employees and homeowner, Brian Sanville, the home was fully framed by Tuesday, June 17. The crew celebrated with a BBQ on site, brought and cooked by Don Derrick himself!
