Pine Ridge holds open house

Bridgette Howell and Shawn McClure of Benton inspect the self-closing drawers in the kitchen of a model home at Pine Ridge Homes in Benton. Pine Ridge held an open house last weekend to celebrate its move to Petroff Road in Benton. 'We've been in business in Vandalia for 20 years,' said sales manager Mike Henson. 'We came down here because we are doing something different from everyone else.' Henson said the homes are built in Indiana in 'pieces' and then transported to the customer's building site. 'About 60 percent of the construction is actually done on-site,' Henson said.
