Rick and Bev Charboneau recently moved to a new house in Fort St. John overlooking Charlie Lake. It is a double wide prefab home. This is the story of its construction.

(65K) 600 x 400	Rick's truck looks amazingly clean on a very muddy site! The stakes marking the outline of the house are in.	(70K) 600 x 400	The ground has been leveled, the gravel has been put in place and the cover over the water pump house can be seen.
(64K) 600 x 400	Rick's truck and trailer are behind the location of the house. The survey is done and the layout of the metal pilings is in place.	(63K) 600 x 400	The pile driver puts in the first piling.
