I think this partnership will help us educate our affiliates across the country to the importance of building a house that is usable by the families and which, by its very nature, will be easy to clean and the families will be able to keep clean at a very minimal expense.
-- Millard Fuller, Founder and President, Habitat for Humanity International
Single-building project: Habijax (Florida, July 2004)
     
     
Project:   One building totaling 1,600 square feet
Affiliate:   Habijax (Florida)
Elite Building Products:   Setting materials, including thinset mortar and sanded grout, as
well as installation labor and training
NATTCO:   New tile tools for the project, including tile cutters, notched
trowels, sponges, floats, knee pads, nippers, spacers, gloves.
     
Habijax asked industry partners for assistance with the tile installation in its office building. Elite Building Products and NATTCO both donated materials and Elite Sales Representative John Gallman donated time to teach Habitat volunteers and staff members to install the tile. There are no current pictures, but TPFH will post several as soon as they are available.
