This weekend Emily and I tried our hand at sheetrocking.
We spent Saturday morning volunteering with the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. This weekend's project was a house for the Mendoza family, and among the many volunteers helping in the construction was Mr. Mendoza himself. (I tried my best not to bend any nails in front of him.)
This is the 71st home built by Lawrence's HFH organization. Pictured below are our primary tools for the day: a good, old-fashioned hammer and nail.
In the background is the project foreman overseeing the most important part of the day - lunch break.
The lunch was good, but it was not the most rewarding part of the day. The morning was spent gaining practical experience and helping a local family build their new home - that made it an activity worth repeating.
We hope to do it again soon, bent nails and all.
