Our New House!

Each year, Northeast High School students build a house in partnership with Lincoln Housing Authority, and NeighborWorks.  This year the Sowers Club also contributed some money.  Families have to have been on Section 8 housing assistance and have to apply to buy this house.  This year I was chosen to buy the house.  The girls and I have been regularly driving by to monitor the progress.

The Floor Plans that I received when I applied to be chosen to buy the house:



The first time we drove past the house (3 pictures taken on November 1, 2015, before we had been chosen):




The house is now enclosed (3 pictures taken on November 22, 2015, before we'd been chosen):




Windows and doors have been installed and the roof is shingled (3 pictures taken on March 28, 2016, after I'd found out that I was in the top 3 choices for buying the house):




One picture taken on April 7th when I found out I was chosen to buy the house:


One picture taken April 22nd as the siding was going up:



Two pictures of us taken in May when the house was complete.
