Courtney's cheerleading tryouts ended up lasting alot longer then we thought on Saturday monring, so I never did get to make it out to the Move that bus part of the house on Satruday with Terri - Bummer too, look what I missed! ARGH! Oh well.... I am blessed to have been as involved as I was and to be able to experience as much as I did. Just to be able to speak to the producer as we did if you ask me is a treat!

Home Makeover Friday - Day 6

I was so excited to get down the new house again today, I swear I was having withdraw not going yesterday! We actually got visitor VIP passes to the reveal tomorrow, but I am not sure I'll be able to go. I feel bad leaving Mike all day first of all, then Courtney had Cheerleading tryouts at school, I have Angel Food Pick up and some minor things to get from the store as well as drop off the other cheer uniform at the dry cleaner. As much as I would love to be a part of the family's first glance ~ i am just not sure about it. Especially about the amount of people. I think I might wait until Sunday and drive down wtih Mike and the kids and walk around the neighborhood to get some pictures when it's all settled down. Tonight they are loading the house with the furniture and personal belongings and staging the area for the reveal tomorrow. Tons of work! Those guys are so amazing though and still friendly. I asked The assistant producer Cruz they call him when he sleeps and his response was "Sleep?" LOL they finish up here, have a week off then off to another town to make dreams come true!

Me and the cute little Extreme security guard stationed at Rhode Island and Plymouth. He was so cute with blue eyes and a nice southern accent. By the end of the week, he knew who we were, never even had to show ID - although the bright green vests may give it away?

All the new Ashley Furniture!

Producer Jonathan looking dazed and confused!

This is a vacant house they were getting ready to demolish

If you've followed my posts over the past few days ~ you might remember they were scraping paint from this porch and pulling out the bunch - here is the finish product.

Another finished product - for sale now??

Looking at the Garden from Normal, towards Massachusetts

Side view - that house in the back got resided as well.

The New Garden at the corner of normal and Massachusetts. Remember what that looked like a few posted back?? Just a vacant lot with a bunch of dirt piles. How amazing!

Front View of the new gardens

Helping out on Mass just past normal

All New concrete driveways and sidewalks everywhere!

The empty lot next door to the new house - they were going to put the community garden here, but in the end it turned out that someone has bought that property and are in the process of closing - so they just cleaned it up. In the picture they are leveling it getting ready to lay the new sod.

This one was full of Sears bags, from front to back piled on top of one another!

This was all of the furniture for the entire house!

Extreme home Wednesday ~ Day 5

We took another trip down to the house progress today, and had lunch with the volunteers. It just so amazing to see so many people come together in one spot. I know I keep saying that, but it truly is! I am so happy to see so many great changes going on in a not so great neighborhood. It's up the people in the area now to keep paying it forward! Can't wait to see it complete. Tomorrow is completion of the inside and exterior / yard work. Friday is moving in the furniture and Saturday is the big reveal!

hard to see past the yellow vest, but here's us eating with the volunteers~!

This is the house from my first group of pictures that was barley partway done, they've been working SO hard on it, and it shows. It's come so far and looks amazing, they even got a new stockade fence going up too!

The next door neighbor to the right of them, getting all new siding as well.

They were working on siding the front of it in the white siding on the 2nd story.

What amazing people live in Western New York! Over 4000 volunteers, not only skilled trades and laborers, but community service workers, neighbors, any thing you can do , you do!

Side view of the house ~ Look how long and tall it is, remember they can only make it as big as our city lots are here, which is not very large, house's are right on top of one another. I love the green siding! They were working on finishing siding and getting the inside done. Friday is the furniture move in already!

House on the corner of Massachusetts and Normal getting new siding, and clearing out that corner lot - I believe for a playground, but we'll see!

House on normal, just before that corner lot - got a new paint job, new doors and yard work, looks great!
