You will receive your house assignment! The House Selection Committee has already visited the house and talked to the homeowner. A scope of work has been prepared by a Work Evaluator which is a list of repairs that may be completed at the home. It is the responsibility of the House Captain to work with the Homeowner to determine the top three priority repairs for Rebuilding Day.

Preview the scope of work created by the Work Evaluator. Review the list of tasks, materials and the budget for the project. Make any changes you think might be necessary to the electronic scope of work provided in the House Captain manual. Plan the work for volunteers, both skilled and unskilled that you will need to complete the work on Rebuilding Day.
