In the middle of the woods in Baileys Harbor, Door County Habitat for Humanity is building more than just its 43rd home. Construction Supervisor Chuck Stone is happy with the progress being made on the home being built for the Martin family despite the late start it got on construction. The location of the home required the organization to make sure the proper electrical and septic equipment was installed, something it has not had to worry about during their past home builds in Sturgeon Bay. Stone says building in northern Door County has opened the door for a new base of volunteers to show up to work. He hopes they stick around for future builds.

Stone expects they will be able to have the house fully enclosed within the next week so they can take their work inside. He added they are on pace to finish in the late fall to early winter. On Thursday, Door County Habitat for Humanity raised thousands of dollars for their home build and restoration projects at its annual golf outing at Idlewild Golf Course.
