A host of volunteers

from three Peachtree City churches have just completed a Habitat for Humanity

house in College Park that will soon be home to a local family.

Work on the

structure began July 20, according to Kim Detwiler, cochair of missions

at Peachtree City United Methodist Church. About 300 people worked that

first day, and it paid off, as the entire house was framed and roofed

in a day.

After a day

off (the next day was Sunday), the workers returned and put the shingles

on the roof, attached the siding and spent the next several days on the

interior work customarily associated with building a house. The project

was wrapped July 27.

This is the

fifth house Detwiler's church has been involved in, and this project saw

assistance from St. Andrew's in the Pines Episcopal Church and Holly Grove

AME Church, she said.

The house is

in Faith Park, a subdivision of Habitat homes that will eventually number

about 25. This house will be occupied by a single mother with two sons,

one of whom is in a wheelchair. They will be moving in as soon as they

take care of some details such as having utilities set up.

"The house

is ready to go," said Detwiler.

Most of the

builders worked the project around their regular work schedules, with

a number of teenagers on summer break pitching in, along with some retired

folks.
