Well at least part of it ... this issue will be covering from beginning-to-end the building of a two-family home that will take place over the course of ONE week! Across the country, over 200 homes will be built by Habitat for Humanity affiliates during a nationwide <a href="http://www.merrimackvalleyhabitat.org/blitz/">Builders Blitz</a> this June, and two of those homes will be built just 30 minutes from where I live. The <a href="http://www.merrimackvalleyhabitat.org/">Merrimack Valley chapter of Habitat for Humanity</a> is partnering with a team of some pretty amazing building professionals and dozens of local volunteers to ensure that the home you see in the rendering above is completed within the one week time frame. In order to achieve this goal, there is a lot to be done before the build. <a href="http://issuu.com/nefinery/docs/nef6_habitat_issue">Click here to see where the story begins ...</a></span><br /><br /><br /><i><span style="font-size: large;">Would you like to be a part of this exciting project?
