Jimmy Carter picking up hammer once again to build Habitat homes

Hip surgery in May slowed down former President Jimmy Carter – just a bit.

But a bum hip has nothing to do with the hand he uses to hammer, and that means — for the 36th consecutive year — the former president and his wife Rosalynn are scheduled to build houses for Habitat for Humanity.

From Oct. 6-11, the Carters will be in Nashville, helping to construct 21 homes. Add that to the more than 4,300 they have helped build in 14 countries since 1984.

“There have been many times when people have tried to count President Carter out, and they have never been right,” said Bryan Thomas, a spokesman for Habitat for Humanity International. “We are excited that they will both back.”

From what I have read about Habitat for Humanity, most of the “sweat equity” hours are performed on other people’s houses before yours is built. At least that is the way it was done in the early years of the program.
