Habitat volunteers Monica Erman, left, and Paul Schwarztrauber complete the porch railings of a Habitat for Humanity house in Mehoopany Township, putting the finishing touches on the home that has been built by local volunteers over the past 10 months. The new homeowners, who have put in more than 300 hours of labor themselves, purchased the home at cost through a special zero-interest Habitat mortgage.
