500 Hours with Habitat for Humanity

Hour 1 On hour 1 I find out who I am working with for the next 499 hours. I read the list and see that I am working with Myles, James and Emma. Hour 10 I finally meet up with my team and we get to work building a house for Jason. Hour 25 Myles and I work on the structure while James and Emma work on the roof. Hour 50 James and Emma finally finish the roof. It is sturdy, it is also peach and black. James and Emma come to help Myles and I. We work on putting the last nails in. Cling, Cling. Soon enough we are finished. Hour 100 Now we just need to put the furniture in Jason's house and then we can move on to building my house. We all work as quickly as we can, and soon we are finished. Hour 300 We spend 200 hours planning my house. We have a new member, Nicole. We get to work on the structure. Hour 499 We are finally finished! Hour 499 59 minutes and 59 seconds I’m so grateful that I have my new, safe home and that I helped build it.
