Twin Cities Habitat volunteers are pretty familiar with Philipp Avenue in Shakopee. In the past few years they've helped build six homes and now a seventh is going up - and fast. After just a few weeks it is fully framed and the garage is basically done. The roof is all set to be put on in the next day or two and the electrical work could be done this week.
This week some energetic volunteers from Sauer Danfoss, which manufactures precision machine parts in Plymouth, are on site for a couple days. They work quick. They hauled in all the insulation for the entire home in less than five minutes.
Later this summer, Volunteers from the Thrivent Builds with Habitat partnership will be on site to do all of the interior work for the home. Thrivent Builds is sponsoring six Twin Cities Habitat homes around the metro this year. Thrivent is the all-time largest contributor to Twin Cities Habitat.
