Manual Labor!!!

I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity on September 6th and man was it hard work!

We had to clear out any cement pieces left in the dirt then level out all the dirt so they could later plant grass. We also had to go under the house and level everything out to the foundation to prevent any water pools for mosquitos. It was the coolest place to be at the time, so I did not complain, but oh man! My back was sore the next day. It was a work out for sure. Once everything was said and done we surprisingly had a lot to show for all our hard work. I want to say the whole yard was leveled and cleared and cleaned up. We finished a lot of touch up stuff inside the house and outside the house. The group picture of us I think says it all, "we are dirty and we accomplished a lot!"  It was a great experience and really fun doing it with everyone in the class, we all were hot and tired, but we were also all hanging out with friends and having a great time helping out. :)

Volunteer Hours: 8 hrs (9/6/14)
