Sunny Weekend Roofing

We had a really successful weekend of roofing, and believe it or not managed to dodge the rain as well. Volunteers came out from the North Pomfret Church on Saturday. They brought experienced carpenters, high spirits, and tasty cookies as well... Talk about serious COVER volunteers. We were able to wrap up the work Sunday with help from a crew of several return volunteers. Highlights of the day included great burgers off the grill, homemade salads, and more cookies!

Finishing up the Ramp

We were luck with beautiful weather again finishing up this ramp. With great volunteer turn out we were able to get a huge amount done in the short amount of time we were there. Saturday consisted of putting down a lot of decking, posts, leaving just a little handrail and a set of stairs to finish up on Sunday. Stellar volunteers showed up from several communities including friends and family of the homeowner, Legion Rider's, and many other individuals. All the decking put down came from recycled lumber from COVER, as well as most of the posts. We shared beautiful weather, great lunches, and good work through the weekend, many thanks to all that contributed!

Big Ramp in Plainfield

We made a huge amount of headway Sunday on a big wheelchair ramp out in the Plainfield area. One of the home owners is currently in a wheelchair and better access to the house is much needed, right now they use a temporary ramp out back. It was a really big crew, several neighbors were there to help out, as well as co-workers of the home owner.

Skirting with Towandans

We had big volunteer crews last weekend helping on a skirting project out in Windsor. The homeowner was born and raised on the property we were working on. Saturday we were joined by a outdoor women's group with a ton of enthusiasm and experience. Sundays group was a family celebrating Father's Day with a day of service!
