The following club members participated:

Jim Berry  – Constructed dividers – Some of which are straight.  He also reminded us that if it can’t be fixed with a hammer, it’s an electrical problem!

Doug Carmichael – Computers – Not saying it’s his fault, but coincidentally, there were statewide computer crashes

Wyatt Cutler – Incorrectly estimated building material needs

Tim Fowler  – As directed due to having no useful skills whatsoever

Marc Kaplan – In addition to his other work, was continuously getting high.  Atop the ladders, that is

Bill Manger – Worked on just about everything, but mostly known for the taping and painting to hide our mistakes.  He also installed the hidden wall

safe.  Which reminds me – the Habitat staff is still looking for it.  Has anyone seen it

Joe Mattea – Excellent ladder holder, took photos and brought the bull horn which enabled me to talk even louder
