This week the Fremont Area Habitat for Humanity started construction on their 79th house in the Fremont area since coming to the community in 1993.
Habitat home construction aided by Christensen Lumber Co.
In a little under two days, what started as a cement foundation and a pile of lumber began to take shape into a more familiar form.
A home.
On Monday and Tuesday, employees of Christensen Lumber Co. (CLC) spent their usual work hours molding those raw materials into a fully framed house north of 23rd street near the corner of East Churchill Drive and Dover Street.
“I really think this would take us over a month to do otherwise,” Joy McKay, Executive Director of Fremont Area Habitat for Humanity, said. “We use volunteer labor, so a lot of times that is not skilled labor, so to be able to have Christensen come out and frame these houses for us really makes a big difference and saves a lot of time.”
