Extreme Makeover Savannah

Try to avoid 55th St. & Abercorn St., several streets have been blocked off upsetting the normal flow of traffic, but all for a good cause. The show, Extreme Makeover, has chosen a family here in Savannah to surprise.  While the deserving Simpson family waits aboard a cruise ship for the big reveal this Thursday of their new home, every contractor in Savannah seems to have a hand in this extreme makeover.  The shows' producers, together with all the volunteers, are determined to get it done, on schedule, in a week .

A roofer friend of mine was there last night 'til 3am-lots of hands-on locals prove that it does indeed take a village.  Some who have been on board for over 2 years are JT Turner Construction, Paula Dean, about 200 subcontractors and another 2,000 unskilled volunteers.  Salvaged materials have been donated to Coastal Empire Habitat for Humanity, which salvaged appliances, fixtures and other materials from the home's interior Friday night.
