Building Homes Building Hope – Drywall
Our friends at North Carolina Mercedes committed to completing this house on one of the coldest January days in Charlotte’s history! Not only did the volunteers donate their money and time on a brutally cold Sunday weekend, but they worked until it was too dark to see (beyond their 4 hour commitment).
Word of advice to volunteers planning to come out to similar events: bring goggles! (and I would also suggest some sort of facemask or kerchief, as the fine dust tends to be a strong eye, nose, and throat irritant). As far as safety, almost everyone was working with incredibly sharp knives (for cutting the drywall), and I advise extreme caution to future volunteers. In the end, everybody had a blast, and can’t wait to come back! Check out the result of the volunteers’ work here:
