The next home Habitat for Humanity presents to a qualified family...will be different from what it has built before.

That's because it's already been built...by a group of high school students in McConnelsville, Ohio.

The pre-fabricated home was in two halves when it arrived Wednesday in Parkersburg...and had to be put together.

When it is...it will be occupied by the Nichols family.

"We have renovated a couple of homes in the past," says volunteer coordinator Gwen Miles. "But we normally build new homes only, so everything's under warranty, and all of our homeowners have 20-year mortgages."

This is Habitat's 49th home...and Miles says the 50th and 51st homes will be built in June.
