Something that’s surprised you this year:
How many steps it takes to build a house. I helped build half a house at the Beaverton Habitat site and it was much more complicated than I thought it would be.
Favorite Tivnu activity so far:
Building our beds over orientation. It took teamwork early on in the year.
