Cedar Hill X Roads

Four new homes are now complete

3/4/2016

Four Habitat families have moved into their new homes and what beautiful homes they are! Nestled among the Garry oaks, with native plants and a few wild flowers bursting into bloom, this will be a wonderful place to raise children.

Landscaping Day!

2/3/2016

0 Comments

 
January 30, 2016 we welcomed Team Tom Harris Cellular to the build site to take on the grueling task of landscaping.  It was cold, wet and blustery at 9am, but as the day progressed, the sun came out and it warmed up to tee shirt weather!  This hard-working team dug trenches to add drain rock, prepped the front and back of the four-plex to lay sod and then laid it in place, and planted many, many large shrubs, trees, ferns and other native low-maintenance plants. We took a break for lunch to enjoy hot pizza sponsored by Panago, then it was back at it.  By the end of the day, backs were tired, feet were wet but the sense of accomplishment was palpable; the garden had been transformed from a mud pit to a green oasis.  Thank you Tom Harris Cellular!

Clean-up before the landscaping begins

1/9/2016

Our ace clean-up crew cheerfully took on the task of cleaning out the crawlspaces, sorting and cleaning out the shed and doing a full site tidy-up.  It looks magnificent and the families are dazzled to have such beautiful homes.
Next up is fencing and landscaping.  

Huge thanks to David, Linda, Paula, Steph
and Brodie.

Three of our four families are now in their Habitat homes!  That is why our crew is working hard to finish up final details.  They are pouring concrete for the driveway and sidewalks and installing the back decks.

Four partner families receive keys to their new homes at touching Key Ceremony!

12/11/2015

0 Comments

 
Habitat for Humanity Victoria is so very proud to announce that we held our key ceremony on December 9 in bright sunshine to present four local families with the keys to their new homes at 4000 Cedar Hill Cross Road. The four-unit townhome complex, started in October 2014, is anticipated to be completed before the end of the year. About 150 donors, sponsors, volunteers and other Habitat supporters gathered at the build site to celebrate this milestone and tour the new homes alongside of the four benefiting families.
“It has been so humbling and gratifying to see a community come together in this way to provide a ‘hand-up’ to local families in need of safe, affordable housing,” enthused Habitat Victoria’s executive director Yolanda Meijer. “Soon these families will be making memories in their very own homes.” 
​
Sincere thanks to Tim Horton's (McKenzie/Borden) for donating enough hot chocolate to warm up everyone!

The siding and roofing are now complete!  This photo was taken at the end of September and as of the end of October, we are happy to see windows frames painted, siding and eaves installed and all roofing completed.

Progress in the interiors is moving quickly with flooring installed, windows and doors trimmed, cabinets installed in kitchens and baths and lighting fixtures wired in.

Interior Painting complete

10/30/2015

0 Comments

 
Interior painting started in September when volunteer Paul came in with his paint sprayer and over the course of a few days, painted all four units.  Thank you, Paul!  Soon after, RBC employees came out for their third Adopt-A-Day on this project and painted the first of four units. They were followed by a group of generous women (100K Team Pink) who took on the task of painting an entire unit as well.  The colours chosen were a beautiful soft grey for most rooms with the master bedroom and bathrooms painted a slightly darker grey.  Taking a look at their clothes at the end of the day, it was determined that pink tee shirts and grey paint look wonderful together.

​
​It is so impressive to see what happens when the community
​comes together for common purpose!   
​
​Colliers International's Victoria office "adopted" a day of painting and completed our second unit, top to bottom, two coats.  As if that wasn't enough, they then took on painting baseboards and trim.  Finally, the interior painting was completed by a team from EMCO Corp.  Quick, professional and committed.

House wrap was completed a few weeks ago in preparation for siding, which is now well under way. The lower half is almost complete and the upper half will move along quickly once scaffolding is in place. Thank you to Mitten for the donation of siding!

Drywalling is well under way at Cedar Hill Cross Road and already complete on two units. A local company was hired to install the drywall and prep it for all our volunteer and Team Build painting crews. Construction is moving along at a great pace thanks to all our volunteers and the support of local businesses.
