Building An Elkview from 84 Lumber
This small 576 square foot cottage is the answer for many in the aftermath of Katrina. With two bedrooms, bathroom, living rooom, and kitchen - this cottage fulfills dreams of many who lost their homes and were left with little to no funds to build a home. For $9,800 approximately we can black in the home on pilings. For about $8,000 more we can complete the inside inclusive with air conditioning, cabinets, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer, and flooring.
At this time we have 200 of these Elkview Homes to construct. We are in dire need of volunteer skilled construction workers.
Once the home is blacked in - we are totally dependent on volunteers to finish the inside of the home. With one good skilled supervisor who can oversee the installion of the wiring and plumbing by volunteers, siding, the hanging of the rock, taping of the rock, finish carpentry, cabinets, flooring and painting - this can be accomplished here in this environment anywhere from 6 weeks to three months.
Every day we plan to post the progress on this home.
