On day three in Kentucky, we worked with a previous Habitat homeowner, Myron. He got his house through the Habitat for Humanity program in 2004 and was in need of renovations. Because of this, our group worked together to repair various parts of his house.
Cata and Brandon worked to mow the lawn and cut weeds. Although there were a few hiccups re-wiring the weed-cutter, the lawn eventually looked pristine! Brandon also helped powerwash Myron's house and even showed a few of us how to use it too!
Meanwhile, Jessica, Natalie, and Ellen worked with habitat worker Marty to build Myron a back porch into his house. With a lot of work and love, we were able to finish the porch for him!
Finally, Aubree, Mia, Megan, and Grace worked together to stain Myron's front porch. Aubree, Grace, and Cata also repainted Myron's shed for him. Both the porch and the shed looked good as new!
On day four in Kentucky, our group split into three to tackle multiple projects around the Kentucky area. In Winchester, Kentucky: Aubree, Brandon, Grace, and Mia helped back at the Waterfront restaurant again to help with a soft opening. All of our work this past week definitely paid off and the soft opening was a success! The burgers were also very delicious!
Additionally, this group worked at the Habitat for Humanity Re-store, where donated goods are sold at a discount price for those in need (all proceeds go toward Habitat projects too!). We helped to prepare furniture for purchase.
Meanwhile, in Berea, Kentucky: Ellen, Natalie, and Jess worked to build a shed for a Habitat for Humanity family that we will be meeting tomorrow for dinner. We are very excited to meet them!
Megan and Cata worked to build bookshelves for the Habitat Re-store to use and sell. We were so excited to be able to work more closely with the community in Kentucky and are excited to see where our adventures lead us!
With love,
Grace, Aubree, and Ellen :)
