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.”

Castro’s, Arafat’s, and Chavez’s bff. Hope he meets his buddies in hell soon.
I know he used to, but at the age of 94, I don’t know how much he would do or if he would be allowed to do...
Dumbest President in History until Barack Obama showed up.
Shortly after a meeting at which Carter kissed Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev on each cheek, (23) the USSR invaded Afghanistan. Carter the appeaser was shocked. “I can’t believe the Russians lied to me,” he said. Carter (10) thought Ayatollah Khomeini, a Muslim exile in Paris, would make a fairer Iranian leader than the Shah because he was a religious man. The ayatollah (15) next created and financed with Iran’s oil wealth Hezbollah, a terrorist organization that later bombed our barracks in Beirut, killing 241 Marines and sailors.
At 94 can he be expected to do more? I mean good grief. Many can’t even get out of bed at 94. Of course most are dead at that age.
When is the Me Too movement going to go after Carter for defending Habitat founder and former CEO Millard Fuller? Google it, people!
Does he have a sickle in the other hand?
A Sunday school teacher that is supports sexual pervertion and abortion is not fit for the kingdom of heaven, imo.
If I was trying to sell a house, I’d sure as heck say a former U.S. president helped to build it.
Hamas’ favorite former president.
Guessing he won’t be climbing ladders installing ceiling sheetrock with that hammer.
That woman should have been putting in 8 hours a day from day one to finished.
The houses are not free but have a modest mortgage. Habitat for Humanity is a good way to give people a hand up instead of a hand out.
There are some semi-detached Habitat houses about 1000 feet from my house.
There was a work contribution requirement and there has been no problem that I know of.
The county paid something like $32,500 per lot just before the 2008 real estate bust. They probably could have got the lots for a third of that two years later.
Of course You

But Commies lie!
The fact that Carter is still alive is proof that it is hard to kill evil.
Coincidence???
.
Thanks for
That.
Knocking in thumb-tacks?
If he’d stuck to construction instead of politics, the US embassy in Tehran might not have fallen, 52 Americans might not have been held hostage for 444 days, and the Arabs might not have been emboldened to perpetrate all manner of terrorism against the US.
I knew a contractor who donated materials and labor to build several Habitat houses.
Six years after completing one the hot water heater went out and the owner called him demanding he come and fix it.
Ar you sure? that’s an 8 hour day for 12.5 weeks.
Most houses go up sooner than that, except for the parts she could not help with anyway (laying a concrete foundation, roofing, plumbing, electrical)
