Habitat

Today was an awesome day. Fairly quiet morning. Based on some safety incidents and injuries over the last several months, we have implemented a new Dynamic Learning Activity (DLA). You get some classroom training (five hours, OMG :o) on safety, that includes how to coach others that are not practicing expectations, and then a 1-2 hour practical. I had my practical this morning, and passed (phew :o)

After that, and a little of this, I headed out to our Habitat for Humanity house. Today, I had the opportunity to hang kitchen cabinets. I learned some great tid-bits to use for the future. I am heading up tomorrow for a full day, and expect to learn how to install kitchen counters and such. It is a great experience, and the future owner was there today (she is only 12 hours shy of meeting her 150 hours of sweat equity). I am a firm and solid believer in Habitat, and plan on making this part of my annual activity profile :o)

Hope your week is going well...

  4. That is such a good thing you are involved in. AND, like Beth, I think the new skills you are learning will come in handy at your own home.

  5. How cool you are involved in a Habitat house. Doug & I thought about helping out with one but as of yet we haven't done so. I know we would enjoy it.

  7. Habitat is big in my Ohio city. Whenever the home is finished the media is always there. You sound pretty handy around a house!
