Extreme Makeover Home Edition

A few years ago we started watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition. We have not watched it as faithfully in the last few years, but we had the opportunity this week to see one of the homes being built about 45 minutes away from here. We had an errand to run near there, so we thought that we would go. Dan, Kirsten and I had a neat time watching all that happened in the hour that we were there.



Dan was able to go back up last night and do some dry walling. He said that it was amazing to watch the organization. As they put the sheet rock up, the guys were taping and mudding behind them even in the middle of the night.



We may go up another time because now we are totally intrigued. And the boys were actually dissapointed that they didn't see it. We think that we will have to stick with one more time due to the distance. I'm trying to think of more errands that are up that way.



How many of you are wondering if we saw Ty??? Actually, it burst our bubble to find out that he is there at the beginning and leaves after demolition. They took the house down Thursday around noon. We were there on Friday afternoon, and he won't be back until Sunday. Does this dissapoint anyone else? We thought that he was active in it all. What editing can do. If we get back up there, we'll get pictures of the outside finished. I think that they turn over the keys to the designers on Monday or Tuesday and the family gets home on Wednesday. We saw Eduardo, but could not get a picture of him as he seemed to be avoiding the public. We are not sure if we saw anyone else as we don't know all of the new people. We do know that Tracy is there as we saw her on the news interviewing for the show.





I know that this is insignificant in the scheme of life, but it is sort of fun to see, and very amazing to witness the choreography of it all. I can't imagine who organizes it all. I know that an area builder is in charge of that aspect, but what builder is used to building a $400,000 house in a week? This show airs in December. It is the one in I believe it is Hayward, MN

When we first arrived at the house this is what we saw. Half of the roof was covered, no windows and no chimneys.

When we left, the windows were in the right and middle sections, chimney was being built, and the roof was almost all on. This house had not even been there for 24 hours. Amazing!
