PHFH weekly update, 8/9/2021
Palouse Habitat Update for August 9th with picture from August 6th of the Home Repair volunteers from Habitat, Moscow Central Lions Club, United Way of Whitman County, and United Way of Moscow/Latah County building a ramp in Moscow.
Home Repair Update:
Yesterday (6 Aug) we installed a ramp for a family in Moscow. This was a fairly large wooden modular ramp and required some muscle. The total time involved including loading the truck and travel time was 5 hours. We plan to install a somewhat similar ramp next Wed for a woman in Moscow. We will then have enough components in the warehouse for one medium to large wooden ramp, and one small aluminum ramp. We are also ready to build some more wooden modules, especially if lumber prices drop a little more.
Construction Update:
Good morning all;
There are three scheduled work days this week. Very hot days are forecast as the week progresses, so note that work at the Uniontown site begins and ends earlier than has been usual.
