Video’s Up For Local Family Getting Extreme Makeover

Talking major house plastic surgery here. Kyle and I drove out to Keller, Texas Monday afternoon to see the Augustin family off in the limo. Darn it, no Ty, no Paul, but we hear they are heading our way. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has selected Amber and Peter’s family to be the recipients of a brand new home to replace their old one damaged by a flood last year. If you know the show, you know the routine — down comes the house in a matter of hours and working 24/7, the crew will build a new one in 106 hours… Texas-based Wall Builders know they have to finish the job on time, or else!

I think that by watching the video, we now have a little inside understanding as to how the show works… So when Ty and the rest of the crew show up on day 1 to surprise the family, it’s not really a surprise (they’ve already known for several days). I think what we see on film is just the family being excited about meeting Ty and the others…

?… So, the immediate family can live in the home until the show airs? But can’t have visitors, etc???

Candy,

There are recent noises concerning Wall’s ongoing viability. See http://implode-explode.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=228785#228785
