Weekly Construction Updates

Can we say fall weather has hit us with a nice brisk chill in the air. We have been making great progress on all sites. Can’t wait to start breaking ground in Rockland soon and then framing up walls in Spring grove. If you are willing and ready for some volunteer work we will need all the help we can get.  Keep on recruiting more construction core team volunteers.  If you know a friend or coworker that would like to come help please invite them to come with you all they need to do is contact Jake and get setup and ready for the construction site. He can be reached by sending him an email to  volunteer@habitatlacrosse.org

We only have 1 group on 10/12.  It’s time for the Core Team to do what we do best and show up and keep moving projects forward. Thank you to all as we would not be able to keep these projects moving without you.

Guess what... we have some amazing steps that we can now walk down into the basement! This project is moving in fast forward now. We did pass inspection today and are now able to move forward with the insulation they will start on 10/7 this will take a few days. I have drywallers all setup for the following week or as soon as the insulation is completed they will start in. We will be pouring the garage slab soon as Meyer concrete is onboard and will fit us in when he can within the next week. This will be exciting to get the garage built and completed. We do have all cabinets on hand and ready to install once painting is completed. I did have a new furnace and water heater delivered today as well. So all subs can now complete their jobs.

1st SE Spring Grove, MN:
Garage door is now installed and in working order. Garage siding is almost completed need to add a few of the accent details to it before it can be completed. Backfill is completed and we spent a day prepping it for concrete. Plumber was there today and has all his pipes in place and gave us the go ahead to get the slab poured now. I was onsite with him to ensure all went as planned. We will be pouring the slab on 10/11 and then 10/12 we will start raising up the walls!!!! If you have been holding out to help with the framing now would be the time to come help out. This is when the crew gets pumped up and when people really see the progress. After long hours of planning and ensuring materials are onsite and ready to go we are prepared and ready to see some walls standing.

Sarah Circle, Rockland:
Blueprints are printed and I am moving forward with the permit. I will then starting working on the list of Subs for this project and taking bids for all subs. This will be a panelized house with Amwood doing this project so we can be dried in before winter. The plan for this is to have foundation and basement in and ready for a mid-November build. Amwood will construct the house in 1 week. Yes I said 1 week they will go from a bare basement to a full house in 1 week. Cant wait to see this one come together.

957 Hood St, La Crosse, WI:
​Waiting on xcel to cap off gas line.  I do have everything ready for demo permit just need a little more work on blueprints and excel to sign off on gas line. We will then start in on full demo mode.
