Plans, Roofs and Floors

Here's a quick update on the Habitat For Humanity Hamilton Robert Land Build Project.

Floor Plans:
There are 3 different floor plans for the 8 units being built.
There are:

• 4 units with floor plan A (2 level unit)
• 3 units with floor plan B (2 leve unit)
• and 1 unit with floor plan C. (1 level unit)

Roofs:
Yes, the roof truces are being built now. The builders begin building the roof on the ground and lift in onto the units allowing for several sections on the homes to be constructed at once.





Floors:
The other section of the town homes currently being constructed is the floors. The cement is being poured for the unit's floors.

The cement is pumped from the cement truck...
...to the unit at the far end.
