DSSW 2011 Session 2: The Ramp

Session 2′s big project: a ramp. Brent’s knee prevented him from the physical work on the ramp, so a couple of Habitat for Humanity “Geezers” (self-proclaimed) helped us out on Monday and Tuesday. We finished the ramp ourselves on Wednesday! In addition to building the ramp, we also replaced the front steps, touched up the paint on the handrails, and redesigned the landscaping in the front yard to accommodate the ramp. Mrs. King spoke eloquently with us about serving the community, and we were glad to be there when she first walked into her home by herself. Thank you, Mrs. King.
