I've been involved with Habitat nonstop since 1989. I started out bringing the builders/volunteers water and sandwiches and it has gotten to the point where I help with the carpentry work. I don't have a problem with doing any part at all with house as long as I am trained since I know that they are going to bring in specialists to clean up what the volunteers have done (from painting, to windows, to floorwork).
Anyone who participates with Habitat is going to enjoy themselves and will be very gratified with the work they've done because there is going to be a finished product you can look at. In addition, the sweat-equity/financial seminars and budgeting workshops that go on between the future homeowners and the organization is amazing.
