Building An Elkview from 84 Lumber

Day 8 and 9

This small 576 square foot cottage is the answer for many in the aftermath of Katrina. With two bedrooms, bathroom, living rooom, and kitchen - this cottage fulfills dreams of many who lost their homes and were left with little to no funds to build a home. For $9,800 approximately we can black in the home on pilings. For about $8,000 more we can complete the inside inclusive with air conditioning, cabinets, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer, and flooring.

Today the roof was put on and the window project started.

Every day we plan to post the progress on this home.

Headed for a solution - Got a roof now we need to secure the home so we can store the inside finish materials.
