I worked on the Extreme Makeover house in Baltimore last week. It is an 11,000+ square foot home that will be a group home for disadvantaged kids. This house was the largest home ever done for the Extreme Makeover show.

I worked my regular job on Thursday and Friday, went down to the house after work and stayed into the morning hours. I went back down on Saturday and worked 15 more hours. Total of 28 hours in 3 days (plus my regular work hours). Boy was I tired on Sunday. :D I was installing cabinets and bookshelves in the library.

They moved the bus at around 8:00 pm on Sunday night. I believe the show is going to air in September, but I'm not sure yet. Rumor is that it might be the premier for the new season. Don't look for me in the show, since I don't think they shot any footage of me, but you'll see some of the work I did.

I know what you're thinking NPDH, but they frowned on us taking pictures.

I put my name on the e-mail list to be notified when the show airs, and I will let everybody know.
