October 1999

On Saturday and Sunday, October 9 and 10, a crew of 20 VMI cadets working with Guild members Bob Smith, Donna Williams, Dave Crocco, Grigg Mullen, and Laurie Macrae cut the front porch frame for Project Horizon. The work site was at the Mullens' house in Lexington, Virginia. The porch frame was erected at the site later Sunday evening.

The whole building has its siding on now and work is continuing on the inside. There is a new expected move-in date of mid-November.
