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.

Fall Build: HFH of Greater Indianapolis

NATTCO provided new tile tools, including wet saws, tile cutters, knee pads, tile nippers, notched trowels, tile spacers, buckets, paddle mixers and grout floats, to the Fall Build project in Indianapolis in October 2004. Brian and Gillian Turner, president and vice president of NATTCO, also donated two days to teach volunteers to install tile while working with other industry professionals.
