There's progress being made on the new Habitat for Humanity house at 30 Pearl St. in Middletown, but because of a late start in the midst of vacation season, their hasn't been an outpouring of volunteer help.
I wasn't able to help this weekend myself, but I stopped in after getting back from a few days
in Maine and I found Jamie and a small crew hurrying to install ceiling joists and flooring, as thunder rumbled in the near distance with the promise of a downpour (which has now arrived).Work on the house will continue on Saturdays into September, and volunteers can either email Joyce Hatton Yarrow at habita@sbcglobal.net or call the Habitat at office at 860-343-9179 to indicate your availability.
They'll be trying to get the second floor interior and exterior walls up next Saturday.
