On Friday a volunteer crew from Bensonwood in Walpole installed the roof trusses and sheathed the roof.
On Saturday 603 Roofing donated the materials and shingled the roof while volunteers and board members worked inside framing and outside installing windows and doors. The vinyl windows and patio slider were made by Mathews Brothers in Belfast, Maine and the front entry door made by Belletetes‘ millwork shop in Jaffrey.
Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) has removed their recommendation to temporarily stop all building projects due to COVID-19 safety protocols. As a result the Board of Directors for Monadnock Habitat for Humanity has voted to resume our build in Keene for the Hundley family. Framing starts today with a small team made up of board members and our Safety and Building coordinators.
There will be opportunities to help on other phases of the build but they will be limited as we are required to more tightly control the number of volunteers on site to maintain COVID-19 safety standards. Keep an eye on future posts for more details.
Monadnock Habitat for Humanity is continually monitoring the global COVID-19 pandemic. Based on current guidance from Habitat for Humanity International and coronavirus.gov to avoid gatherings in groups of more than 10 people, we will be altering our build plans to utilize smaller groups of volunteers. Specific information will be distributed as needed in the coming days to our VolunteerUp email subscribers.
Our office is also closed to outside visitors, and we are temporarily suspending homeowner education classes.
We will keep these measures in place as long as the new federal guidance remains in effect and will continue to heed the advice of local public health authorities. Thank you for you understanding.
