We have a dumpster! Below, volunteer Garrett poses in front of our new dumpster, which has been filled with the remnants of a 70-year-old plaster ceiling that had suffered extensive damage due to a long-neglected leaky roof. This week, we tear off the old roof and prepare to install a new one. This is the week to volunteer, if you like getting dirty!

Sign-up procedure: Click here to sign up for a shift. We work with volunteers at all skill levels, so don’t hesitate to volunteer simply because you lack construction experience. The most important qualification we look for is a willingness to learn, to take instructions from the Shop Manager and to follow all shop safety procedures.
Please come ready to work, dressed in work clothes that can get dirty or smeared with paint.
Do they have any sort of bathroom or kitchen
We will have 4 bathrooms and 2 showers, a kitchen and a community room in the building with the store and workshop. The first house had a composting toilet, a sink with a gravity water system and electric appliances.
