| #14 | 2014 – Marshall, MN
| Charles Sanow, Redwood River Habitat for Humanity Executive Director, provided the following information on 9-3-14. “The house (located on 1st Street in Marshall) is progressing rapidly. The walls were pre-constructed and brought to the site. Next week – on the Sept. 12th — Friday they will start interior painting and work will begin at 9:00 A.M. on Saturday. When the painting is completed, they will be ready for cabinets installation. On the weekend of September 19-20, hopefully , they will be ready to work on finishing the doors and trim; following that comes the floors and final touches. (I suspect there is always yard work to do.) Habitat is hoping for a dedication the last weekend of September if all goes as planned. (No guarantees). Things are moving along rapidly. Time is rather short, but if your Court is interested in being a part of the build, you are welcome. You are invited and now is the time…The house site is easy to find. On Hwy. 19, turn and go three blocks southwest (seems like west to me) of Main St (Hwy 59). You will see a closed Sinclair Station. Go South and you will find the habitat home in progress on First Street.” |
