The TB Construction Crew did an amazing job Sunday despite the rain. It was a great volunteer opportunity. We arrived at 7 am and worked until about 11:30am before it rained us out. However, during that short time, we installed roof trusses and braced them with hurricane ties, finished the housewrap and installed windows. Not bad for a half day’s work. We met with Jazmyn, a wonderful young woman who is excited to finally own a home for her and her son. Thanks to everyone those for a great team effort! See all the photos
