Habitat for Humanity's Build Number 65 in Windsor Essex has been presented to the family who will own it.
The home on St. Luke Rd. just north of Seminole is a one-floor, 3 bedroom single detached house.

After putting in 500 hours of "sweat equity" the Warsama family is ready to move in.
Abdi Warsama says it was remarkable to walk through the front door.
"I really feel I'm blessed, immediately I, my immediate feeling was wow, my dream came true."
Warsama says it has been a challenge to help build the home.
"I have to contribute whatever the demand is of Habitat as well as juggling my night shift work. So it's challenging, very challenging but again a rewarding effort actually."
Habitat Executive Director Fiona Coughlin says the construction has been a bit of a challenge.
"It took us about ten weeks to get ready to build and then ten-and-a-half weeks to actually build the house. So it's been an amazing journey and here we are in front of the house."
The Warsama family has a daughter who has challenges and the new home is accessible with a ramp to the front door.
The Warsamas are originally from east Africa and have been living in a home that's not accessible.
The land for the home and for three or four others next to it was donated by longtime Windsor resident Gerald Chevalier.
