habitat rebuild

[15_the_circle]

[OT from cottage renovations]

miscellaneous images from today's Habitat for Humanity rebuild in Silver Spring, to which some Grove volunteers came to help out.  unlike our experience on the Gulf Coast this job was at end of process, so the painting, cleaning up and hauling off of tools was followed by a dedication of the home to its new owners. 

the home is a 1950s split-level, acquired by Habitat in distressed condition after a foreclosure.
