In our final edition of On-Site Interviews, we speak with Rob Maltar, a pro-painter who participated in the Build. The excitement and pressure of the Build got his adrenaline rushing, but would he be able to handle a second 5 Day Build?

Today marked the end of the 5 Day Build and what a success it has been. All the trades, community residents, reps from the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital and a whole bunch of media were on the site this afternoon to witness Hannu Halminen and Mayor Jim Abernethy cut the ribbon and open the new home for viewing.

We caught the ceremony and speeches made by Hannu and Gerry Johnson of the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital. Have a look!

On-site interviews: Dan Johnson

Dan’s been with Halminen Homes for 11 and a half years but this is certainly the first time he’s ever attempted something like this. He’s also been on-site since Monday, so he’s seen the Build progress from day one.
