Re: Might get a sneek peek | ||

Bless you all for not flaming me LOL. I knew that was coming next. My sister owns XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX in Hendersonville. She spent the day today carrying out sheet rock and crap that they were carving/hanging for walls. Tomorrow she's closing her shop so the staff can meet her to all go work as a team.
She went to the VIP tent today for a drink and one of the kids from the bus got her into a non issue pissing contest because he excitedly exclaimed Where's Ty, is this your house? She said she was working only and he said his aunt was going to marry Ty and Ty would build him his own house. LOL My sis goes nuh uh, he's going to marry my sister. LMAO, I reminded her I'm waiting for Toby Kieths divorce. Here's what I know. In the beginning the business owners were contacted and had secret meetings at a church. There were huge screens around the walls showing the plans and the timelines. She had the supplies donated from her distributors, but the credits should say XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX. Ty and the crew mostly stay in the trailer until the work is finished LOL. She said one guy (Jay?) was out today sawing some wood. She thinks the dad is a fireman and one of the kids rooms MAY be firehouse related. There's signs all over that say no autographs. The truck/bus give out a certain amount of elongated postcard type things promoting the show that they'll sign. She's going to hang hers in the store. Also, if I remember correctly, you can check progress by putting this link together......capitol homes TN dot com The link is capitolhomesofTN . com and you click the link to EHM. I'm told the pool has a waterfall and elevater lift. ETA:website of homes via the builder, and to edit the name of a donor company. |

Todays news is the australian guy (?) made what appears to be a firetruck bed or play area for a little boys room.
They sanded tons of bats to make them have different textures (baseball, not flying kind) for another boys room. One worker looks like Ty so the onlookers squeal until they find out otherwise. They did the landscape today. Lights go in tomorrow. The panic room is off the kitchen, and oddly enough isn't underground and theres no basement. I guess it'll be just a big safe that will fly around and land on someone` else. There's somethig else but I can't remember. |

Re:Why no basement | ||

News this morning is the crew has been ahead of schedule the entire time and plan on handing over the keys to the EM people around lunchtime.Family is due back tomorrow between 12-2pm. The panic room is probably above ground due to the fact that much of the ground in this area has large amounts of limestone. Most homes don't have basements unless they are willing to pay $ for blasting.I'm sure it's made with some heavy metal framing and walls. Also heard that some of the neighbors will be getting some new sod for their lawns since theirs have been destroyed from the production. Only person Iv'e seen out there is Paul(glasses)- I'm sure the "stars" will be making more appearances with the house almost completed.

Hope lighting doesn't hold them up, they didn't order enough so sis just raided her store.
Did you score your VIP trip? |

Re: Re:Why no basement | ||

I take back the bat thing, she says it's a barn. They at this moment are waiting on a special sink for the wheelchair bathroom, and apparently the toilet in there for her is very, very low.
Now they're pretty much done with the house, so Ty and the girls are kicking it in gear. The other two guys have been at it already for a day. |

Alan Jackson showed up for a performance and is there right now at the site. Maybe he'd be there to meet the family when they came back? Wouldn't that take away from the house? Remember, it's Nashville.
My family member helped Ty on his special project. If you've noticed my editing out the business name and hopefully all info to identify her.....The builder (to get a head start) had some lighting brought in and had it installed night before last. She went to the site the following morning and got his permission to replace the competitors for nicer stuff, instead of standard issue. Hmmm, snooty competitor mighta coughed up something impressive. Or is it volume? Ok, I'm snarky. Let me clarify as it was passed on to me. She arrived very early, saw someone else had installed lights (I'm thinking the dining chandelier and outdoor, maybe not) and she replaced them. When approached why and had the other person choose, he chose the more attractive. SPOILER** They found a piece of her grandmothers china that was lost during the tornado. They found a set that matches the pattern and bought it from ebay and it's sitting on her new dining table. Ummmmmm.......trying to think of more goodies. To bad it's not a show I care about--except the personal link. |

Move that Bus! | ||

AltantaChick, thanks for more info about the house! My co-worker was not able to come through w/ the tickets, but anyone was able to go see the outside of the house or voulteer to work by taking a bus tram from a local shopping center. Some people did nothing more than take water bottle labels off to give to workers,so brands won't show on air. Nasty hot and humid here all week! I'm sure your sister can testify to.
Had some parents from the school I work at go work these last 2 days.Heard that there are 2 pools, 1 therapy for Mom, and 1 traditional for the family,many features that will aid Mom is normal household duties like closet bars that lower/raise,a wheelchair accessable van that was donated. Older brother who is 6 has a baseball themed BD and younger 3y.o. has a "moo-cow" themed BD( he likes to collect stuffed cow animals).I didn't see them today,but I'm sure I'll hear more Monday. News reporting possible air date as Nov 4th. |

Yay Tiger!!
Tys secret room was the master bath and bedroom. No one in the community scrimped to my knowledge. about 10 thousand in landscaping alone! When it airs (I heard the 4th too) look for crystals hanging in the bathroom. Basically, Ty is that hyper and loud all the time, sleeps in the truck while all the big action happens, and they don't pay for much. I'm thinking instead of wasting all that resource, have Todd do a couple of families and episode and you could actually be helping double the people that need help. Oversee different projects. You don't even have to film them all, it would be for mankind instead of ratings! Put that in your bullhorn, will ya? ETA: I have a few photo's if anyone knows how to post them. I know you have to host them somewhere and it's beyond me. |

The show is in Logan, Utah right now filming. My sister just called to tell me because she and her roommate are volunteers. They've taken over the whole town, it seems.
They took the family away yesterday. They're packing the home up today and doing demo tomorrow she said The house is really close to Utah State University. Also, It's been raining and may even start snowing later this week. They're doing a home of a Tongan family, The Paunis, with 9 kids (plus a nephew I think). Yes...they are a big, Mormon family. The dad died of a heart attack a couple years ago. A lot of people know the Paunis, they do a lot of Polynesian performances and have a little dance troupe. Most of the kids are teenagers and young adults...so the rooms probably won't be overly thematic. They sent the family on two private yachts to the Virgin Islands. The episode is going to air in December. There will be a luau and benefit concert on Wednesday...so that's probably where the token celebrity will show up to perform. ALthough, I honestly can't imagine who they'd have. My sister said they are trying to get a performance from the Polynesian Cultural Center...it's a logical tie-in with the LDS Tongan story line. They were especially interested since they had the earthquake in Hawaii...so interest in the area will be sparked. This is the house they're knocking down...pretty typical of the area, with a basement. Any new place they build for 10+ people in that neighborhood is gonna stick out like crazy. ![]() Here's the family, with some of the architects and such: ![]() Photos if the weeks progress, from the compnay building the home, plus a journal, can be found here: www.kartchnerhomes.com/extreme/journal.htm |

Re: Move that Bus! | ||

Another weird note. How I heard about two of these at once, I'll never know.
The ABC Station here in LA just did a story of another EM:HE going on right now. This one is in Redondo Beach, CA...for the a family that made news here in LA several months back. This woman and her husband are both LAPD officers. They have a baby girl. She was shot while on duty and was in really bad shape. Her husband was one of the officers that responded to the scene. The whole story is perfectly emotional for the show, so I see why they did it. She's confined to a wheelchair now. The news report said that the "reveal" in on Wednesday (Oct 18th) and that as of tonight they were 8 hours behind schedule. More about what happened to her: lapdblog.typepad.com/lapd...s_pol.html So, they're filming two builds right now...one LA and the other in Northern Utah. Editing makes it seem like the cast is all involved in it...when, clearly, they're just pretty faces flying back and forth for appearances. |

Re: Move that Bus! | ||

I think it is more that the cast has gotten big enough to allow for taping of more than one show at a time. Perhaps Ty is flying back and forth? I think it was determined at one point that when the "team" got bigger they would overlap projects and Ty would be zipping back and forth (but somehow do his special projects!)
