We are a family of four: James and Carol, Jaime (15) and Alexander (10). In June of 2002 Carol was attacked leaving work and suffered severe brain damage. She has progressed remarkably well since then and now the CTHBA are building a new handicap accessible home with the help of local builders and donors.
Here is a link to the time lapse video from today that shows the house being built. It is amazing how much was done today. The file is about 8megs and may require Quicktime to watch.

Here is a quick update. The trusses have started to go up. So far 8 have been installed.
A big thank you to all those that have helped so far.
We are 1/2 way through the 1-day framing extravaganza at Carol’s Home and things are going very smoothly. The majority of the house was framed out before the lunch break. Carol, James and Alexander Armstrong served the framing crew hotdogs, chips and drinks and the Charleston Trident Home Builders Association provided some hot sopapillas for dessert. The crews just started back to work and right now they are nailing the OSB on and in a little while they will start working on the FROG floor and the roof trusses. The weather has been great – just a little hot and no rain. Keep checking us out on the webcam!
