Here is the newest Loudon County Habitat for Humanity house under construction. I helped cut and install the pink, fuzzy, itchy insulation. And, doesn't it look neatly installed?! This is one of my favorite activities.. The family that will be living in this home has to provide something like 500 hours of work themselves on their own house or those being built for others. That way they really appreciate the work that goes into the project. They aren't given the house, either. They have to pay a mortgage payment for the next 20 years or so just like everyone else, albeit at a reduced interest rate. The neighborhood where this house is is taking shape and it is a pleasure to see the families living there, with flowers and kids' bicycles and such in the tidy yards. Lots of pride of ownership apparent on every street.
