It's Real Hot in Utah

Today we had a fantastic day building with Community Rebuilds. We woke up to a host breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, and sausage this morning! We haven't had breakfast made by a host in awhile so it was fantastic. At the build site I destroyed some bushes to make spaces for parking spaces. 16 people will be living in the home I worked on. These 16 students are interns and work to build a home in 4 months. It's really pretty awesome being part of a house's creation.

The backyard also had an amazing view of the canyon.

It was sweltering hot, but I made it through. The second part of the day I worked on demolition of a trailer. The construction guy literally destroyed half of it with a bobcat.

I was pretty excited with the result. There was a lot of clean up involved. The trailer needed to be destroyed to make space for a new home. We were part of the beginning stages of the creation of a new space for a family. It was very interesting to work with a group that is not Habitat for Humanity. I like that this group builds in alternative ways.

I can't wait for our day off tomorrow! We're going rafting!
