Our intrepid and ever-expanding building crew is working hard to finish work on House #13 before the snow flies. The electrical and plumbing work is done, and drywall installation is set to start soon. The goal is to complete the interior finish work before the holidays.
House #13 is rising right next to House #12, upon which Maria Archuleta Jones and her family closed in June 2021. Habitat owns five more adjacent lots, and hopes to break ground on House #14 soon.
Exterior grading was completed in mid-October, as was construction of the front driveway. That near-final exterior work was a race against the approaching winter in the Rockies.
Heavy insulation on Energy Star-rated House #13 should keep the family toasty during Colorado’s long and often harsh winters.
