Welcome
Welcome to the Habitat for Humanity Nantucket blog site.
We are using this site to present a photo history of our current project on Nantucket. You will see that the sequence does not follow a traditional blog sequence, but is ordered in reverse, with the oldest posts first. That way you can view the project from the beginning, and track our progress through the photos.
Because it's really a kind of anthology of our project, it is not interactive. If you would like, you may subscribe to our newletter and growing list of volunteers by going to http://habitatnantucket.org/ and entering your e-mail address.
Thanks for coming to take a look.
