Day 1 at the Extreme Makeover site

While people were enjoying the ambush of the Carl Hall family, the new home was already underway digging the basement of the home. Volunteers worked into the night getting the ground ready for the foundation and concrete forms. We were joined by troops from McConnell Air Force Base who all brought shovels & proudly donned hard hats & now famous blue t-shirts.

Bob was definitely the star of the show, directing the action and giving in interviews. He's excited to be able to build a home "at his pace."

The build site consists of several tents, cast trailers, work stations and, of course, the house. Spectator area will be open on Saturday - park at the Mel Hambelton Ford lot and get a free ride into the build site.

This house will come together very fast so even watching for an hour you'll see many changes.

Thanks to one of our 2 photographers, Courtney Cook, for these nighttime shots.
