Extreme Makeover In Austin

Today is a big day for a family in my neighborhood - the O'Donnells are getting a new home, courtesy of the CBS show, Extreme Makeover : Home Edition. They've blocked off the street and been working on the house for 24/7 and today is the grand unveiling. You can read about the family here, and see a video clip of the production here (half way through is a great time-lapse shot of the destruction of the old house). It's been a lot of fun to watch - like ants all over the house. I've heard that they'll use 1000 people in the 7 days it takes to build the house.

This episode is supposed to air in February or March.
