Photo by Geoff Krieger/KANSAN Some find home where Habitat for Humanity is By Ann Premer apremer@kansan Kanson staff writer Members of KU Habitat for Humanity played carpenters on Saturday when they worked on two East Lawrence homes. Ten KU students, along with other volunteers, worked on a house at 1706 Bullene St., putting up tar paper, caulking walls and removing molds from the drive and walkways. Sonia Farmer is the owner of the house. She said she had been applying for a Habitat for Humanity home for the past four years. "It's a lot of hard work." Farmer said. "It's nice having people help you." She said she hoped her family would be able to move in before Christmas. Families involved in Habitat for Humanity are required to complete more than 300 hours of "sweat equity" by working on their homes and other homes. "They do the training right there on the site," said Deanne Lenhart, a coordinator for the organization. "Anybody can really show up and do something." Troy Fowler, Minneapolis, Minn., senior, said he painted houses and did some carpentry work last summer and is using those skills to help with Habitat. "I really like helping out Habitat," Fowler said. "Sometimes there are reasons to get up besides school." Amanda Shaw, Ninnekah, Okla., sophomore and president of KU Habitat for Humanity, said she never had worked on a house before joining Habitat. The house at 1706 Bullene St., the 23rd Habitat home built in Lawrence, is the first in an addition of seven home sites near or on LaSalle Street. Volunteers also worked at the lot next door, leveling sand so the foundation could be laid. Cathy Farve, who will own one of the homes on LaSalle Street, helped with both homes Saturday. "It's neat getting to help your neighbors," Farve said. "It feels like you're building your own neighborhood." Lenhart said the organization did not buy land in sections purposely but bought it as it was made available at an affordable price. "Lawrence is a high-cost city for housing," Lenhart said. "We serve a lower income batch of families who would have never been able to own a home otherwise." Lenhart said there were several designs for the homes and the homes were built for specific families. She said the homes ranged from $30,000 to about $43,000. The organization's goal is to finish 1706 Bullene St. by the beginning of December, but Lenhart said the completion of the home depended on volunteers, contractors and weather. She said by the time a home is finished, as many as 300 people have helped in the building process.
