Update from Mike Hammerquist, Construction Manager, Issaquah Highlands:

Approximately 60 volunteers and homeowners were out last week. The Chili Challenge went well. Zeek's Pizza donated 6 large pizzas for lunch and Ingallina's donated wraps and a salad to fill out the rest of the lunch. The new T- shirts are great! Thank you to the homeowners who brought lunch on Thursday - they did a good job.

Work this week will include concrete pours, porch roof framing, house wrap, and window prep.
