Mike Norton of Fruitland and Lester Wilfong of Millersville lay bricks for a home being built on Main Street by long-time Jackson builder William Penrod.
Norton laid the bricks in near-70 degree weather last Wednesday. Both he and Wilfong are employed by Morton Brick Laying.
Jerry McClanahan of McClanahan Construction is also working on the house to be sold by Penrod. The construction began last month and they hope to be finished by June.
Roger McClanahan works on the roof of the new house, which will be sold for about $100,000.
