The Elia family home as it leaves St Mary's church

Moving house - literally

When moving house, most of us will call up our local moving company to help move our family's possessions. For the Elia family today it was a case of moving the actual house!

Habitat for Humanity Lower North Island started building the house in front of St Mary's Anglican Church in Whitby in mid October. Porirua Mayor Jenny Brash hammered in the first nail and work has progressed rapidly with the help of several groups of volunteers, including the key sponsor, AMP foundation. The house has now been transported 5kms by truck to its new site in Westmeath Street, Waitangirua, Porirua.  The house is now ready for plastering and painting with a final completion date expected in late January.
