On Saturday I volunteered at a Habitat for Humanity build. Volunteering for Habitat is one of those things I’ve wanted to do for some time and I’m glad I did it. About 20 people, including the new homeowner, spent the day painting doors and trim and installing closet organizers, door knobs, and towel racks.
If you’re looking for a way to use (or build) your DIY skills in service to others, I highly recommend spending a day at a Habitat build. At the beginning of the day some training is provided for the task at hand, so beginners are welcome.
On Sunday I exchanged the defective ceiling fan that I wrote about last week. Install was a snap since the instructions were fresh in my mind. Everything went smoothly. The fan looks nice and adds balance to the room. I’ll post some pictures soon.
