This week began with gray skies, torrential rains, swirls of wind and chilly temps ... so unseasonal for the beginning of June.
But on location at the Merrimack Valley Habitat for Humanity Builders Blitz project, I have heard that volunteers arrived wearing sunny dispositions, and were immediately warmed by the positive energy surrounding the Market Street jobsite in Lawrence. When the planning for this type of multiple-contractor project begins almost a year in advance, the actual coming together of all the parts – in the span of one week – is a sight to behold. It is almost like a choreographed dance (don’t tell the guys I said that!) Tomorrow I am visiting the site to help out my logistics team members and snap some progress photos for New England Finery Magazine. Although truth be told, I really just want to soak up the good karma and see for myself the house that hope built.

New England Finery + Habitat for Humanity

New England Finery Issue 6: Rendering by architect Andrew Steingiser
I am really excited to announce that the spring issue of New England Finery Magazine is now online! Well at least part of it ... this issue will be covering from beginning-to-end the building of a two-family home that will take place over the course of ONE week! Across the country, over 200 homes will be built by Habitat for Humanity affiliates during a nationwide Builders Blitz this June, and two of those homes will be built just 30 minutes from where I live. The Merrimack Valley chapter of Habitat for Humanity is partnering with a team of some pretty amazing building professionals and dozens of local volunteers to ensure that the home you see in the rendering above is completed within the one week time frame. In order to achieve this goal, there is a lot to be done before the build. Click here to see where the story begins ...
