Summer is here and the next two weeks are filled with opportunities

Summer just licked off here in the Tri-state area and it’s a great time of year to have a great time…or times. On Saturday June 28th the Mt. Tabor Builders team will welcome guests to their open house. The event features two model homes and several building lots for your future home. Put 13181 Salem Church Road (just west of Hagerstown, MD) in your GPS. Then, plan to stop by between 10 am and 2 pm. Bring your ideas and see if this is your first step towards living in your dream home. Light refreshments will be served.

Soon after the open house is over, the skies will be filled with fireworks and the sounds of oohs and ahhs. It’s a highlight for so many across this nation and in the Tri-state. The United States has a rich history going back to it’s humble beginnings more than 250 years ago. Below is a brief summary of those days leading to country’s independence soon celebrated.

Here is a list of July fourth events in the greater Tri-state area of Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Please be careful while enjoying these celebrations or your own.

 

Summer meetings for building projects

Most think “vacation plans” when the summer months arrive. Others think about projects. The building professionals at Mt. Tabor Builders have the same thoughts running through their minds. They would love to talk with you about your building plans and dreams.

Mt. Tabor has nearly three decades of experience building custom homes and major additions in the Tri-state area. They also do major renovations and every kind of home improvement project, including roof replacements and installing replacement windows. They use Andersen Windows for their replacement window projects. Mt. Tabor uses the GAF Shingle System in their roof replacements. Here is a blog post about their roof work and this superior shingle system with a great warranty.

“I loved working with the Mt Tabor team. They installed two sets of new Anderson windows in my 1910 house. As you can imagine, with an older house, things were not simple. But everyone, from the first step through completion was on top of things. [They were] professional, and offering clear communication. I am thrilled with my new windows!”             – Barbara M.

 

The history of Independence Day in America

On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies claimed their independence from England, leading to the formation of the United States. The colonies and England had already been at odds for a year when the colonies convened a Continental Congress in the summer of 1776. Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution in a June 7th session in the Pennsylvania State House. That resolution included these now-famous words:

“Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”

These words led to the drafting of a statement presenting to the world the colonies’ case for independence. Members of the committee included famous patriots John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. The task of drafting The Declaration of Independence was given to Jefferson.

On July 1, 1776, the Continental Congress reconvened, and on the following day, the resolution for independence was adopted by the colonies. The Declaration was officially adopted and ratified on the afternoon of July 4.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” — The Declaration of Independence, 1776
