Habitat ADK

Habitat Adirondacks is moving the Ampersand Avenue house along quite nicely. Recent work has including pouring cement slabs outside of the two doors on the first floor and doing a lot of siding all around the house.

There was also some taping and speckling work done inside the house.

Sunday was a day off from working and the group joined the kids from Adirondack Rambler for a day on the upper Hudson River. There were a few swimmers, a lot of splashing, and a great time had by all.

Yesterday was their final day of work at the house. This group has accomplished so much at the house and has definitely made a difference in the progress of the home of a great family. Today they will be rock climbing in the Keene Valley area and then Thursday the group will head back to Frost Valley for a final night together. Thank you once again for allowing your teen to participate in this amazing experience. It would not have been the same without any one of them.
