                    JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Weeks ago it was just a dream with a frame. Tonya Daniels, a
                    single mother of two, helped build the HabiJax home. She put 300-hours of sweat
                    equity into it and now it's finished. 
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    "It feels great. I have never been so happy
                    in my life. This has been the biggest accomplishment of my life besides having my
                    children," said Daniels. 
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    Daniels is the new owner of the HabiJax home and it is
                    the first green house by Habitat for Humanity in Jacksonville. 
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    "This house is deed
                    certified. It's our first among many to go after this so we're excited about it
                    for many different reasons," said Roger Cortie with HabiJax. 
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    The new home is good
                    for the environment since it's more energy efficient and good for the new owner.
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    "It's an energy efficient home which will help me as far as cost of lights and water,"
                    said Daniels. "My bill will be a lot less." 
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    This is not only the first of seven
                    green houses for HabiJax, but this house was built by women. 
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    Women Build sponsored
                    the house. 
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    Groups of women from all over the city came together to build this for
                    a woman, wanting to fulfill a dream and now she has. "This is my first house and
                    I thank God for it. It's a good feeling. A great feeling."
