March 12 was the first day
of the 2013 Sacred Heart of Jesus' Habitat for Humanity Apostle Build. It started with a naked slab of concrete and ended at noon with two walls standing. The Habitat supervisor was very impressed with the work.
On Tuesday, April 9, sixteen parishioners performed various functions. One of the first jobs was sweeping out the house interior and removing trash so that all studs could be marked on the floor. This is needed for dry wallers and trim workers later in the build. Roof decking was installed on the shed, and it was covered with roofing felt. Gutter soffit was installed on the house. Some volunteers worked to separate and organize nails, screws, and roofing clips for future use.
Besides Sacred Heart and Knight coordinator Dave Witchger, there have been eight knights working on this project to date. They include Ron Barta, Bob Bowman, Mike Frantz, Mike Kerwin, Mike Miller, Pat Perilloux, Milt Spaniel, and Tom Thornton. Spouses of knights, Ruth Kerwin, Pat Miller, and Rosemary Monarque, have also been involved.
