EHM II

PS--did I mention that one of the guys that will be doing quite a bit of work on this house also did work on our house for our additoin =)! I think that's cool!

Here is an update on the "happenings" in the neighborhood. I don't know about all of you, but when I think of this show, I think of an extremely ratty (should be condemned) type home. That said, please don't think I live in the slums or something. To be honest, this is probably one of the best looking homes that I have seen on the show (pre-demo). It was built in the 80's I think so not even that old. Basically, it is being upgraded so this little guy that has dwarfism and brittle bone disease can do things on his own.



Anyway, my mom took my girls there today and watched for quite awhile. They were filmed a couple of times. She met Rib Hillis and got his autograph. He was holding Keirah so she could take a pic, however Keirah wasn't so sure about that so they didn't get a pic =(.



When Josh got off work, they went over and got to see the filming of the fireworks imploding and Ty doing his crazy antics. Josh got several pics of the demo.



We can hear all of the trucks and the noise. There is the distinct smell of truck exhaust and such. They have dump trucks lined up to take away the remains of the house.



At night, it is lit up like day. It's almost like a little city within a city. The cars line up and people are walking around everywhere. This is quite different since it is a generally very quiet neighborhood. When I walk in the evenings, we rarely see anyone except the occasional person working in the yard. Here are some pics...



I will not visit the site tomorrow since we will be in Chi-town =). There is a chance I may get to tour it over the weekend though, we will see. That would be cool. Enjoy the pics and watch for more.


The house intact before the demo!
Underway...the man of the hour is in red! Ty!

Pretty well underway. I have more pics, however I will be posting them on FB. If you aren't already a friend on Facebook, message me.
