Today me and my kiddies were on the job-site of the Extreme Makeover Home Edition in NH! Yeh, they are in town through at least Thursday, I'm told! We got to Manchester and they have you park at Macy's! They shuttle you onto the job site! My son was SO excited!! Although Ty it out of town and we missed the designers by seconds, it was still such an awesome experience!!! My son even scored an Extreme Makeover Home Edition cap too!! It was truly amazing seeing hundreds of volunteers working to make someone's life better! Very moving experience for me ....Such a neat thing to see!!!

How very cool that you got to see that! When we had cable, that was the only show I loved to watch. I loved to see what the crew (and local volunteers) did for those families. Do you know the situation of the family they're serving in Manchester?

Hey Valinyne,
No, I dont know the situation, however, it was very moving to see all those volunteers working in a collaborative effort to better the lives of this family. It was an amazing experience! Im glad we got to see it firsthand!!!

i'm just happy that one more family gets to have one less worry in a hectic world these days...

Manchester, did those floods two years ago ruin half the houses in a certain part of town? Maybe it's a really sad story, i cry every time i watch that show, but then again i feel for those families.

Hey Dustingstaroff .. apparently the floods destroyed their home .. but they didn't have the money to rebuild .. I dont know if they had other circumstances that qualified them for the makeover .. but to see all those people volunteer .. a few I spoke with never met the family .. it's nice to know there are some giving people still left in the world! I think it's airing Jan. 8!!
