Past and Current Homeowners Building Together 
About 28 homeowners came out on Saturday, October 24 to test their construction skills and help build on Guilford Street.  It was inspiring to see past, present, and future homeowners working together and sharing their experiences with each other. 
 
This was a great opportunity for current homeowners to re-connect and for prospective homeowners to fulfill some of their sweat equity hours. 
 
Thank you to everyone who came out!
