Hat? Check!
Gloves? Check!
Wool Socks? Check!
Winter Coat? Check!


This is how we greet our 19 degree cold days at our Habitat for Humanity site in Santa Fe, NM. After shoveling snow after we arrived on our first day, we have work diligently on putting up fencing, insulation, and chicken wire on to the 3 houses we are working on.

Building each of the houses has sure given us a cultural lesson on New Mexico. The fences are made out of posts called "latias." Each of the houses has to have chicken wire attached to the outside after the insulation and paper covering for the stucco to be molded to. It is an interesting process and one definitely not used back too often at home in the Midwest.


The weather may be the same as it is back home, but the work experience on the houses is something completely new.
