For realz though. Even if you are a newbie, many of us couldn’t even hammer a nail in straight and by the end of the trip we became pros 
Just be prepared to work hard, dance, sing, enjoy the great outdoors, have a cuddle puddle, learn how to use new tools, stay up uber late and wake up uber early, and bond…Oh & withdrawal symptoms from all the good vibes after a week of being surrounded by 25 Habitaters
We are going to Hattiesburg, Mississippi from Sunday, December 16 – Saturday, December 22 and we have 25 spots available. The cost has not been finalized but we can expect it to be around $150 (this includes the registration fee). The cost provides for our accommodations, lunches for days on the build site and one dinner.
