We're in the home strech

Have you driven by the Heaven House site recently?!? Or better yet, have you been there to participate in some of the work being done? If you have, then you already know how much amazing progress has been made.

Updates, updates and more updates… First, some important updates:

The roof is complete and ready for shingles! The windows and doors were delivered and have been installed. WE Energies has installed the gas service a week early. Now, as soon as we have a basement floor, we will be able to have heat in the house. Rozga Plumbing is currently installing the water and sewer laterals. We are now entering the "mechanicals" part of the project.

Activity amounts and types will now increase at the site. We will still have some carpentry that will be done but in addition, there will be a plumbing crew and leader, an electrical crew and leader and a HVAC (heating and A/C) crew and leader all working together to get the house completed for the rough inspection. "Rough Inspection" is what needs to be done by the city before the insulation and drywall is installed in place. Once we pass rough inspection, we are in the "home stretch" of this project.
