Building the Back Porch
Project: Habitat for Humanity, Episode 7, Part 1
With the help of some student builders from the Saunders Technical High School in Yonkers, NY, Habitat for Humanity builds the back porch of the Blitz Build house, using an easy-install OSB product. Carpenter Bob Ryley adds some finishing touches on the porch trim. Back in Washington state, Bob goes up in a helicopter to view the major reforestation efforts being done on Mt. St. Helens.
