Habitat for Humanity has been doing builds across the country for this project. They had one at a local church near me a couple months ago. They build the basics of the house, put it together, then take it down in large sections and ship it down south. When it arrives, it's most of the work is already down and it's a matter of putting it back together again and finishing it off. The end result is quicker and more people are able to help with the build locally instead of having to go to New Orleans or Mississippi to do the building.

Habitat is an awesome organization.

You're right MrsB! However, I wouldn't want that girl wielding a hammer anywhere near me She is damn pretty, though...

I'm quite sure that you're not only examining the way she's handling the hammer in that photo.

NHLPA, NHL & NICLAS HAVELID HELP TO BUILD A HOME

“Along with Thrashers’ defenseman and founder of Havelid’s Helpers, Niclas Havelid, players are proud to do their part and make a meaningful impact in the communities that support them season after season.” – Mike Gartner, Chairman of the NHLPA’s Goals & Dreams fund

Havelid turned over so many pucks while with the Ducks, I wish he could be the one to turn over the keys to the house. One is a far better turnover than the other!

Nice to see the hockey community involved in projects like these.
