About 40 onlookers watched intently Sunday morning as crane operator Curt Williams, with steady hands and dead-on precision, maneuvered a 20,000-pound section of a house off a flatbed trailer and onto its foundation.

Spotters helping to guide Williams' movements gesticulated rhythmically as the rectangular piece was lowered and eventually placed spot-on.

The same scenario unfolded with the second section, though the placement was met with an even louder volley of cheers and claps when the future home for Kristi Runge and her three children, Darien, Gabriel and Brynn,Designer watchesforwomen is your source for women's designer watches and women's jewelry and accessories. was in place.

Runge, whose selection to live there required 300 hours of "sweat equity," said she recognizes there's more work ahead before she can call the place "home."

"I've learned to use tools and I've done things that I used to be too much of a girlie girl to do," the 33-year-old single mother said. "It's been a great experience for me ...caps is a different take on the classic game of Peg Solitaire. I'm so grateful."

She said the apartment where she and her children currently live is too small and they look forward to having more space and a house. The King-Westwood neighborhood isn't far from where they now live.
