Chap Hill, NC for the past few days. Michael Jordan was in town this weekend actually to visit his alma mater and visit his shrine in the UNC basketball museum. This was our first couple build days. The very talented and friendly Mr. Hoyle Anderson, led the way and showed us a thing or two about hanging vinal siding. His wife Janet kept the the crew going with her delicious oatmeal rasin cookies. We were working in a 50 house completely Habitat for Humanity community called Pheonix Drive. Chapel Hill has a high population of Burhmese people. In short, churches in the area have been hosting Burhmese families who are escaping the genocide back home. This amazing community was started a year ago and to this date has 15 finished homes with at least 4 currently in construction. 33 of us complimented the already busy and bustling construction site. Over the past 2 days we completely finished the vinal siding on one house and painted the inside of another. It's refreshing to use all the knowledge I've been learning in school in actual construction. The Habitat build crew here is justs full of lifelong volunteers who continue to do it several times every week. It's awesome. Today we got to see a house dedication and were hosted to an amazing cookout from a baptist church. Special thanks to Hoyle and Jon for teaching us to swing our hammers enthusiastically but skillfully at the same time.
On another note. Donation magic got us mohawks. Donation magic is a tool that helps us to raise more money for affordable housing. We rely on the generosity of people to donate food, supplies, and other things so that our trip costs can be minimized and the extra money can go to the cause. Donation magic can also be used for services that are needed as well. It gets hot and sweaty on a bike. Long hair is no good. No hair is no good. Some hair is good. Mohawks are good. Shout out to Legacy Cuts in Chapel Hill for hooking it up.
Good haircuts... heh, heh.
