I have done quite a few DIY projects over the years: installing dry wall; sanding/refinishing hardwood flooring; installing electrical outlets; installing a kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and toilet. So when I signed up for Cornerstone Training, I figured I had a pretty solid foundation to build upon.
I figured wrong.
I learned a lot at that funky warehouse: I learned that I hammered like a girl (profound apologies to women everywhere). I learned that there are (at least) two different types of hammers. I learned that men actually do have a weird thing for power-tools (they're awesome). And most importantly, I learned that the type of people who volunteer with Habitat for Humanity are fun-loving, big-hearted and exceptionally attractive.
What more could you ask for? Great people, great education, and great fun.
Do it. Now.
