Meanwhile, the Habitat team is out there doing it right with full liquid membranes, ensuring these homes stand strong against the elements. It’s a refreshing reminder of how true craftsmanship can outshine flashy price points, and Eric gives a well-deserved shoutout to Habitat for their commitment to building homes that last.
