Three Days to Build a House?!

Earlier I talked about getting involved in a Homes for Our Troops House here in Cedar City, Utah. A few weeks ago over 100 volunteers showed up to turn a slab into a shell of a home. It was an incredible experience! As a Painting Contractor, we don't often see this process. Watching a large group of men and women swinging hammers together, putting up walls and a roof was like watching a symphony! The homeowners, Travis and Stephanie Wood, their daughter Maddie and many other family members were there as well. They, and other volunteers, helped provide food and water to the hardworking crew. I met some of the neatest people! The build is still going on! If you or someone you know can help, let me know. See more on our Facebook Page!

Honor our Servicemen

Last year I learned of Homes for our Troops, a nationwide non profit group that helps adapt older or build new homes for our servicemen injured in the line of duty. I thought it would be a great way to show our support and signed our company up. A local resident, Travis Woods is having a home built in our area so I was contacted. Next week, June 22-26 is the "Build Brigade"! Volunteers from the area will frame the walls and put the trusses and roof on in 3 days! That is going to an incredible task! I will be helping in the registration tent and will try and get some pictures. Check back for updates! If you are in the Cedar City, Utah area and would like to donate food for the volunteers next week, please contact me!
