Yes, those appear to be stains on the carpet.

Les Scheinfield of Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk County and builder Victor Irizarry have made a promise. And no matter how difficult that promise appears to be, it’s one they full intend to keep.

Scheinfeld, as associate director of the local Habitat nonprofit, and Irizarry, as owner of Ronkonkoma-based Whitford Homes, are spearheading the construction of a new house -- in just five weeks -- for Zandra Green and her daughter, Diamond, 5. The two now live in a cramped, moldy basement apartment in shirley. Construction on the Green’s new home at 186 Hounslow Ave. in Shirley began today at noon, and the first wall is schedule to be raised at 1 p.m.

“Zandra and Diamond will wake up Christmas morning in a new home,” Scheinfield said.

Irizarry, who also is the president of the Long Island Builders’ Institute, vowed to Scheinfeld and the Green family that the home would be completed before Christmas. In most cases, new homes can take from six months to 12 months to build.

“We reached out to our building partners, suppliers and contractors and were overwhelmed,” said Irizarry, praising the contributions of local industry professionals. “People were eager to donate time, materials and money to make this project a success.”

Long Island Home Builders Care, a nonprofit that supports LIBI’s affordable-housing projects, also is contributing to the construction, as are major sponsors Riverhead Building Supplies and Bank of America.

“We are so thankful to Habitat and their sponsors,” Zandra Green said.
