ACAD Habitat is always looking for new projects. If you need something built, we would be more than happy to provide our labor in return for a donation toward our major fundraising goal this year: raising enough money to pay for the construction of a house in Nepal.

See the "Need Something Built?" link to the right (under Categories) for more details on the types of projects we have done in the past and how to get in touch with us.

ACAD Habitat kicked off the year with Habitat Skillz, a building methods tutorial intended to give new, inexperienced, or forgetful members the opportunity to learn some of the key skills needed to be an involved and active member of the club. Techniques practiced included the proper way to hammer a nail, how to remove a nail, and use of a jig saw.

ACAD Habitat is always looking for new projects. If you need something built, we would be more than happy to provide our labor in return for a donation toward our major fundraising goal this year: raising at least $2000 to pay for the construction of a house in Nepal.

We have built a variety of structures in past years and we can built most anything, within reason. The club members are always eager to do some construction.
