Tara_Hastings Beyond the Forecast

Early Saturday morning I traded in my business suit for a tool belt and my weather clicker for a hammer all to help frame a house.  I was a part of Habitat for Humanity's Women's Build.  About 15 to 20 of us gals cut 2x6's and hammered in hundreds of nails.  Some of which didn't go in that easy but we all helped each other out. 
The future homeowners Amy and Tino have four children and now they'll be busy helping to build their house too.  Amy and Tino's house is one of 9 that will go up in the next two years all in the same neighborhood.  With many children so close together I'm sure many of them will have instant friends. 
It was so rewarding to spend a day helping a family build their first home.  My right hand is still sore, I have a blister on my finger and my neck is sunburned but it was all worth it and I plan to do it again.
