from dirt to frame

Yesterday we worked to prepare the site for Genesis and his family. By the end of the day six concrete footers were poured into holes and concrete anchors were installed to provide a solid foundation for the Uber Shelter.

Loaded with the Uber Shelter in its flat pack, the Grassroots United bus set out this morning to the Delmas 33 camp around 7AM. We were greeted by Genesis and his friends who were happy to see us and eager to begin the build. It didn't take long until we were in full swing, each volunteer working helping out in a different way--screwing bolts, installing beams, connecting panels, sorting materials. The photos that follow show the assembly process.
