Crystal Helsel maneuvered sheetrock around her under-construction house Saturday morning with several other women volunteers during Habitat for Humanity’s 10th annual National Women Build Week.

About a dozen volunteers came out to help Helsel hang sheetrock in her 1,312-square-foot home that will boast five bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Helsel, a single mom of six children, four of whom still live at home, said she’s helped build seven homes, including her own with Evergreen Habitat for Humanity — doing everything from the foundation to lifting walls to putting on the roof to siding.

“You get a lot of experience building. I learned how to use power tools and that’s awesome,” said Helsel, 37. “It’s so much fun helping other families until you get to your own house, and by then, you know who your neighbors are. … Everyone comes together to build affordable homes for families.”

The house is one of four stand-alones and three pairs of zero-lot-lines — homes similar to unattached townhouses — that make up the McKibbin Commons subdivision in Vancouver’s Father Blanchet Park neighborhood, said Courtney Patterson, a construction site coordinator. The subdivision broke ground about 1 1/2 years ago, she said.
