Another great day of HFH
We finished up around lunch time today with Habitat for Humanity, and had a great day and got a lot done. This time instead of building we were demolishing. Habitat has a program where they pull old houses appart and resell all of the appliances and lumber and siding. Basically a thrift store version of Lowes. So EMC donated our time to work for Habitat to pull a house appart to sell, and the money they make from the stuff we pulled appart goes into building houses for needy people. Complicated but it all works out in the end.
We had about 20 people and at first we were cleaning up the remains of the house, and then we were cutting lumber to be taken to the store to be resold. The cutting was very awkward at first with two of us and then three of us doing three or four jobs. We then pulled in 4 or 5 more people and got a process together that knocked out a huge ammount of wood in a short ammount of time. Teamwork and synergy and all that good stuff.
So after we finished up I went out for lunch and beers with some of the guys from RTP including my boss, and now I am cleaning up and I am going to run in to work to check my email and see if there is anything desperate that needs to get done. Oh yeah and one more thing, its mid to high 70s today, perfectly clear and sunny, all the leaves are golden and red, and it is one of the most glorious days to be outside. Believe me I wont be in the office for long this afternoon. I need to be outside enjoying the weather!
