From late March through April, that will be our heaviest schedule. We'll have several houses going, and we'll need between 40-60 volunteers a week.

Today we are actually redoing a house. Cleaning it up and repainting and getting it ready to place a family in that was a victim of Hurricane Katrina.

It's very touching when people come from out of our community into Meridian and Lauderdale County to work with us. Especially on the hurricane relief.

The houses will remain in place until the contractor decides what it wants to do with them.

The residential units probably will be town houses or condos.

The market mood has been boosted by hopes that most of the corporate houses will unveil better than expected quarterly earning numbers in the weeks ahead.
