HANNIBAL â The rain on Saturday didnât stop volunteer teams from getting trusses set up during the Pro-Build day for the new Mark Twain Area Habitat for Humanity home at 250 N. Hawkins Ave.
Mark Twain Area Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Committee Chairperson Kevin Knickerbocker said the decision to move ahead with the Pro-Build Day was made that morning. Teams of volunteers started before 8 a.m., and he thanked Chris Doyle and his crew from Doyle Construction Company for guiding the installation of the trusses to support the roof sheathing. There was a good turnout of 14-16 volunteers, and the trusses were installed in 2 1/2 hours before the rainfall increased.
