Thanks Connor and Eric, Crew Leaders Tom and Carl, and special thanks to Kevin and Chris of Carpenters Union Local 51.

Thanks to all the volunteers, we were able to swap out the mechanical room door and also install a subfloor in the mechanical room. All windows and doors were insulated with spray foam. We got a good start on the siding before the rain started.
