I watched a program today about a young Family in the USA who had lost there Father, I did not switch on to know how he died but his wish was to provide a new home for his family
It seems the house they had was a wood framed building looked it but had Mould of some kind and was not really habitable to live in, So this company or TV station called ABC not sure which stepped in and with the help of the local town folk built the family a brand new Stone Clad House, It was huge, it made my little house look like a dolls house
But the amazing thing was how they did it
The old house was flattened in 3 minutes, Then the site cleared and levelled the Concrete came in for the Base, It must have been one hell of a quick setting Concrete,
For they built the whole 7 bedroomed house in 53 hours 57 minutes including the fittings, painted etc
You cannot get better than that, Plus they gave the Widow a extra long brand new UV
They had the work force to do the job and it was planned to a T, but a fantastic effort allround

There is a new episode every week.
Yeah it is interesting.

I think the show is Extreme Makeovers. A reality show that rebuilds homes for people who have had something tragic happen in their lives and cannot afford to fix up their homes.
I have watched a few episodes and it is amazing, I always cry though. It's very touching.

"Extreme Home Makeovers" on the ABC network, Steve. It is a television show that builds a home for a well-deserving family every week. They come in, get local craftsmen and companies to donate time and materials and throw up a very nice house. Of course, they need the cooperation of the weather...which they found out the hard way when they tried it in the Pacific Northwest a few years ago. The project was held up for a long time, due to heavy rains.

That is the Show, they said the Build was a Record, I am all for it if there are tragic circumstances in a family,
Stacy' I will send you a box of tissues

Although it is a nice deed, I've heard that many of these people can't afford the homes that are built. The heat, taxes, insurance, etc. are more than they can deal with.

True Sam, they have no idea what the upgrade will cost them, and not that they can't do it, they are just totally unprepared.

Hahaha Steve! I really do need a box of tissues watching those shows ;-)

When i was living on the Indian Rez they were out there building a house for someone. All the people that are on the rez need homes!! I agree with you Stacy always need tissues watching it no matter how hard I try not to tear up. lol

Lavk-9. I remeber that show... I watched it. If I remember correctly, the girl had a horse also, a paint, if memory serves me right. That was an awesome show one of my favorites. Very emotional as I have had a fantasy with our native american ways and beliefs...
