CHARLOTTE, NC -- Most convention events don’t involve Wisconsin delegates swinging hammers and painting walls, but this isn’t your average convention event.

Democratic delegates — including those from Wisconsin — on Monday participated in the Craftsman House United project to build a home for a military veteran.

Half the home was built last week by delegates at the Republican National Convention in Tampa. The home was transported to Charlotte, where Democrats finished up the work.

The project was a collaboration between Heroes at Home, Rebuilding Together, Craftsman and NextGen Home, and was led by Ty Pennington, of "Extreme Home Makeover" fame.

Just last year in July Ty Pennington and the first lady were in Fayetteville working on the residence for homeless female veterans. The "Extreme Home: Makeover Edition" aired last October featuring local Fort Bragg and Pope Air Base females working on the site.
