Today in the daily news best places section..an article on ICFa, insulated concrete forms, is written..I continue to amaze ourselves here at Habitat of Westchester, because for years, we have been using very energy efficient building materials…ICFa have been used for foundations, as well as for building whole homes.  We are designing a condo building

On ICFs…in Yonkers…amazing.

Our homes in Portchester, in Yonkers, in Mt Vernon, have been utilizing foundations made out of ICFs…like a stryofoam cup, you put them together like legos..pour concrete after the rebar is in and it keeps it warmer for the life of the family, saving energy.

 

Along with solar panels, green flooring, healthier paints and more, our Habitat families have many storng safe energy efficient homes. The excitement is building Green..God bless

Monday, not  a blue day but a great day…a house to be salvaged for supplies, a story to be told by Patch..a city that wants us and many more, a new mayor calls and says thanks let me help…what a great day…the world watches ten people bounce rubber on a wooden floor, I love the game..but I love walls of Hope and Love going up..walls of neighbors and friends, being melded together, not being torn apart..religions of one, joining instead of religions of division killing..so tonite..the Finals are led by you, if you play the game of

Hammers instead of Hoops with habitat…you will be a National and a family Champion if you do…the Excitement is Still Building!!!!!!!!

Early morning restlessness…..for families with no heat..for families with no windows that shut well, or landlords that don’t care…or for Habitat directors that want to change it..

Praying for more land, more money, more homes..more sewers, more plumbers, more excavators..some of our biggest costs, lies in the underground….like the restless families or director, the earth needs to be dug to complete good homes above, good  foundations, good building..pray with prayers of gratitude for all the support we have had over the years to end this restlessness..and for future homes..that need their ground settled….we need your prayers,…and your support…if you know a plumber, excavator, or others..help us finish these homes, and end poverty for families in need.. God bless you…

Early morning ride to the airport…with Emporia of Kansas habitat, …we are grateful for all we have been blessed with, with Lainie and Blythe and the many volunteers…also a shout out to all the UMW volunteers who worked so hard to help us this week as well, in White Plains, in Yonkers, in Elmsford..what a great week..and then the Webb school comes in….Our final four, is made up of college students and high schoolers from around the country and from here…in Westchester, changing the world, changing the county one day at a time, one two by four at a time.

 

What a blessing to see Friday March 26, 2011 a day that a home was dropped unfinished.. a modular for the Brown family..when we look at all we are doing, we see that

Many are helping the Browns have a home.  We utilize an unfinished modular like Baltimore Maryland habitat did, not long ago, to be able to utilize, so we can finish the homes quicker…..what a blessing. I also spoke the our new neighbors Maria. She owns the house next to the Brown family…we will help them with Brush with Kindness.

 

One of the greatest things to realize for our development and Community development of any neighborhood, is that  a habitat home is not in a vacuum, nor is any neighbor…..a nice home, can be substandard if one doesn’t know their neighbors… a park can be run down, garbage can be thrown around, and blight can happen….we look to change blight, we look to change our whole neighborhoods…like we have on Willow, or on Fairview, or on Lafayette street, or more…

As move ahead in this vital exciting mission..we say habitat Oye…an African term for praise, for our neighbors, for the Browns and Maria, and for you…who we need you to help with your sweat equity, your love and your donation…what are you waiting for…VOLUNTEER OYE…God bless you!
