Question: What's happening in the Chippewa Valley?
Answer: The Excitement is Building!
New Home Started!
Chippewa Valley Habitat for Humanity just started building a new home on 33rd Street in Eau Claire and located in the Town of Union. 33rd Street is off of Folsom Street on the west side of Eau Claire. Stayed tuned as the house develops and we build this labor of love.
Bowe and Hilger look over the site to make sure everyone is on the same page. It’s time to start clearing the site for a house.
Bowe and crew do not waste any time getting the trees down so they can get in and dig the hole for the house.
In a couple of days the basement is poured and now it is time to get the underground work done before they pour the floor.
Habitat Trip to Hungary
Tony and Nancy Schuster are leading a Habitat for Humanities trip to Szarvas, Hungary, from September 27-October 12. They will be building simple, energy-efficient, light-frame construction multi-family housing and are looking for people to join them. No construction experience is required, though people with a strong sense of community and a great work ethic are encouraged to apply. For more details, please visit the following web site: http://www.habitat.org/cd/gv/trip_desc.aspx?type=1&code=gv9422
For answers to any questions, or if you are interested, they would very much enjoy talking to you. Please contact them at: agsustr@charter.net or phone 715-723-6114.
