My journey with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

I can't go into too much detail, because I signed waivers and release forms and the such. But let me say, it was soooooooo much fun! I signed in a little before 10pm and worked straight until 6am. My job was to clean up for the contractors. We carried wood for the deck that took 3 people to carry...insane! I also cleaned up the catering area after the meals (meals are served every 4 hours). It was also 28 degrees last night! I cannot believe how much they got done in 8 hours. Everyone just kept moving. Trucks came in, trucks went out, and the next set of trucks came in. It was quite fascinating.
This was the before pic of the house.


My Creative Memories consultant, Kathy came along.

I am hoping to go up today as a spectator. As I was leaving the trucks came in with the stone for the front and siding for the back, so I'm sure it looks even better now. It was such a neat experience. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I don't see a trash can, oh well. It annoys me when people submit their comments twice...I'll just have to deal with the fact that I've done it! Sorry about that.
