"RESIDENTS of a model housing estate bankrolled by Hollywood celebrities
and hand-built by Jimmy Carter, the former US president, are complaining
that it is falling apart.

"Fairway Oaks was built on northern Florida wasteland by 10,000
volunteers, including Carter, in a record 17-day "blitz" organized by the
charity Habitat for Humanity.

"Eight years later it is better known for cockroaches, mildew and
mysterious skin rashes."

I don't see how volunteers could be responsible for the cockroaches...


It would be funny if it was not so sad. I often wonder how well built the
houses are on Extreme Makeover. It may be possible to build a house in 7
days, but that does not mean it is smart to do so. It takes time to install
plumbing systems, etc, no matter how many people.

10,000 volunteers is just to many to manage over 17 days.
