With work completed on the fourth Habitat for Humanity house built by students of the Weitz Academy of Construction at Seminole Ridge High School, moving day arrived Nov. 19.
The components of the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house were loaded onto seven tractor trailers, and then installed Nov. 20 on an awaiting home foundation in Lake Worth.
The 1,206-square-foot house is the fourth built by students at the SRHS Weitz Academy of Construction. Weitz donated its services as move manager and supplied several workers for the two-day process. Kauff’s Transportation Services and Priority Towing donated tractor trailers and drivers, while DC Crane Services donated a crane and its operator.
The Seminole Ridge construction academy program completes one Habitat house per year, and work on the fifth house is expected to begin in January.
