Seton Habitat Build Update 14

Seton Habitat Build Update 14
 
Our most recent build date was April 8 ^th. The Seton Habitat Team wanted to let everyone know where we are in the build process.  The next major construction project is the building of retaining walls for the duplex. If you have been at the build, you know there is quite a drop off from one side and the back of the duplex to level ground.  Habitat for South Collin County will be contracting with a skilled trade business to build these retaining walls.  Until these retaining walls are built, the exterior landscaping cannot be completed. 
 
Since our last update, interior cabinets have been installed in the bathrooms and kitchens and the interior and exterior light fixtures are in the process of being installed by electricians.  As we have mentioned in our last article, because there are other sponsoring organizations involved in the build, we are not sure when or if there will be additional Seton build day(s) on this project.  Therefore, please check the on-line sign-up sheet during the week for additional work day(s). 
 
The Dedication date has been scheduled for Sunday June 4 ^th .  We will let everyone know as additional details become available. 
 
We are not sure if we will need lunches for build dates on this duplex; however, if you (individual parishioner or business) are interested in donating coffee, lunches or drinks for volunteers during this or future builds, please contact Jessica Vieira at Jessica.vieira@acpen.com. 
 
The Seton Habitat Team, at its most recent meeting, began planning for Seton's third build.  This will involve a period of fund raising efforts followed by the construction of another Seton-sponsored house.  Any parishioner who is interested in becoming more involved with the Habitat Team is invited to attend a Team meeting.  The next one is Thursday, May 18, at 7:00 pm in room 116 in the Faith Formation Center.  
 
If you haven’t yet go by and look at the project at 1133 G Avenue in East Plano (across the street from the Douglass Community Center).  It will surely inspire you to join us!   For more information, to volunteer for the Habitat Team, or to be a build volunteer go to the Habitat for Humanity section of the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton website ( www.setonparish.org/habitat).
