the second half

I've talked a lot about biking but not so much about building. Today I went with the Brown Habitat for Humanity Chapter on a build. The site supervisor for the house we were supposed to work on wasn't there so we ended up at another house which was pretty much done. We built the last part of the fence, poured some cement, and shoveled a lot of dirt. I really think that cement is one of the coolest substances ever: want to make a rock? Just add water and stir. If only everything else was so simple.

Afterwards, we got to watch the dedication ceremony where the new homeowners got the keys to their house so they could move in. The new house was absolutely gorgeous and it made me really happy to see how happy they were about it.
