Extreme Home Makeover Edition

The Extreme Home Makeover team is here in Salem Oregon this week. They are doing the first commercial project ever... building a new dormitory and remodeling a haunted house for the Oregon Deaf School. The haunted house is their main source of revenue and is rated one of the top three in Oregon. After this little remodeling project it will probably be #1!

My dad donated some lumber and we had the opportunity to go and help out with the project today. They were a little behind schedule so for the first couple hours we just hung out and I even got a massage. It's a little disorganized but with a project this big do you expect anything else? When they were finally ready for us we started putting up wall panels in the haunted house.

While we were wandering around we saw some famous faces... such as the design team! Who knows... maybe we'll even be on tv (somewhere in the background haha).  We also founds some props from the haunted house and took a few pictures...


It was a really awesome experience to be apart of such a huge community project. It's amazing how much time, materials, and work it takes to get this project done. I think it really brings the community together :)
