Crews of volunteers are deconstructing the house over a period of 4 -5 weeks which began on August 28, 2009. Volunteers crews have come from Wal-Mart Distribution Center in Rogers, Drug Enforcement from Washington County, Habitat
Board Members from the Fayetteville branch, and other community volunteers.

During the first week after the first deconstruction activity, items removed for the house were inventoried and sent to the local Habitat resale store (just celebrated 2nd anniversary of store). The next weekend following August 28th, store sales totaled $2700, with $1125
coming from proceeds on items from the donated house.
