IOU Habitat for Humanity...

By, Sara Hollerich

Nothing makes you feel better then helping people out so IOU decided to help out a family in need. We got to help build a cement from house. I cannot remember the technical term but basically it was like playing with Legos but on a much larger scale. We used these giant foam blocks to build the walls. The foam had holes in the middle where they poured the cement.

Because they had so many people show up to help in the morning some of us got sent over to another worksite for the morning hours. We helped put up siding. It felt good to know you were helping out a family but I also really enjoy learning how houses are built. I even proved to myself I could pound in a nail (strait), something I haven’t done well in the past. Practice makes perfect.

I would like to thank the church group that brought the food for us and fed us lunch. That was unexpected and a nice treat.

Members in Attendance: Sara, Carla, Kim, Delite, Lee, Doug, Emily, Mike, Melissa, and Scott.
