So, away from the crap that's been going on in my head there has been a silver lining in the past few weeks. The entire Habitat/Americorps crew that I am a part of went down to San Antonio for a week to work on houses with their affiliate. I thought I'd share a few pics from my trip.
The amazing retreat house the 20 of us shared. It is located in the King William neighborhood and, luckily, had a porch swing.
The "habitat subdivision" we worked on while in San Antonio. Although I am not a huge fan of the subdivision idea, the homebuyers I spoke with seemed to like the fact that they got to know their neighbors while working on each other's houses.
After finishing the OSB on the roofs of 4 houses, we moved on to securing the felt paper and later to nailing down the shingles.
We also got to build a few sheds!
