Nails are vital for the structural integrity of the house. They attach pieces of lumber to form walls and hold the trusses together to make the roof. Every nail is important and without nails the house would fall apart.

Plywood makes up the skin of a building. Without this the house would be left vulnerable to the elements. Help us to turn a structure of studs into something that can be habitable.

All kinds of different tools are necessary for the construction of a Habitat Home and tool belts allow us to keep everything on our person. When we can have everything we need on us we can work more efficiently and safely.

Safety is the most important thing on any work site. Hard hats, gloves, and eye protection are only a few of things that we need to do our job effectively.

Power tools make the time on the work site more streamline and time efficient. Power tools such as circular saws, miter saws, and pneumatic nail guns are some of the tools we will utilize on the job site.

Our members have already put down an initial $150 for this trip. This donation will allow for one students additional costs be covered in full!

We need lumber to build sturdy walls and we need sturdy walls to build a sturdy home. Lumber is important so we can build the best house that we can.

Homes need doors and windows to let in light and let the family come and go. A house isn't a home without these basic living functions of the structure.

Roofs are what keep the elements outside and keep a house livable, without it there would be nothing to keep the rain out. Help us keep the home we build dry.

Birmingham is a long ways away from Pittsburgh and we need to rent vehicles to get there. If we can't travel down to our work site we can't begin construction.
