The exterior of the home is nearly complete with some detail work remaining on the front and back porch. The volunteers from CHIP's (Chesapeake Habitat Interfaith Partners) have made great progress and have picked up the work load smoothly. We look forward to the future build dates that we'll have building this home for Denise Speller and her two daughters. If you'd like to get involved please call or e-mail us! We anticipate the family being able to move in within the month.

	Progress has been slow over the past month as you can see in this photo. However, the interior has now been plastered and is finally ready to be painted.
Siding is the task and to assemble the shed, come out and help.
	Slow going on this home. We need volunteers to keep it going. With that said, you can still see the progress that has been made.
Installation of windows and doors was on task this past weekend, great job volunteers.
