The building process for Frederick County’s first Habitat for Humanity Women Build is officially under way! We all have our own reasons for wanting to get involved; some may want to learn construction skills, others are inspired by the ability to work with other women in our community to build a home for a local mom and her daughter. Whatever your reason is it’s great to see all of you getting involved and we would love to hear your feedback from your experiences on the build site. Comment to this post and let us all know why you got invloved in Women Build and if you have already participated in a build day, let us know how that went too!

Amy Gray was a volunteer on the very first build day and was kind enough to send us a quick note and a photo from her day! Thanks Amy!

“Worked 6-1/2 hours on the Habitat house today – first day for volunteers.  I built the first (2′) interior wall. Then we built another 5′ wall and then got all the sill plates on the foundation.  I drilled holes and measured, didn’t do much hammering, that is SO HARD.  I’m POOPED!!!” – Amy Gray
