Harvest House taking shape

House "frame" under construction

Construction "crew" has begun to build the frame

With under a month to go until the actual assembly of "Harvest House" on the Shelton River Walk, Bill Bubbico of Pitney Bowes has assembled his "construction" team in a PB warehouse in Shelton to begin the construction of the panels which will serve as the basic building blocks for the house. The team is constructing over 20 panels which will be linked together on the River Walk to form the frame of the house. The actual cans will then be added to the frame and anchored in place to create the house.

Helping to supervise the construction of the walls is chief architect Peter Ottavio of Fletcher Thompson in Shelton. Peter created the design for the house. Corporate Volunteer Council members are currently collecting the cans, and the public is invited to join them by dropping off non-perishable items to banks throughout the Valley.
