Extreme Home Makeover

[d-UNiT]

omg

i just watched this show, and i have to say im very very impressed, that was the most heartlifting television program ive seen in my life, they totally hooked this deserving family up, ill search for a link of the story but i feel so good about living right now and humanity, i just wanted to get it off my chest, and to see if anyone else saw this ep...

[mac_82]

which one was it? what channel? i was working on some that were filmed in calgary.

[d-UNiT]

an extreme home make o ver in calgary?!?!?!?!?!

crazy.. no this one was an aspiring basketball star who had a full ride scholarship to uni., but got shot mistakenly, and became a parapeligic,... and they were living in a small shack with 8 people..

I LOVE that show, every single damn episode makes me bawl my eyes out! Haha my mom's the same way though. Even the men in our family (brother, dad, boyfriend) have been known to happily sit through an episode! My favorite is Cassandra, the little girl recovering from cancer or the lady who was killed in iraq and her two kids were taken in by her parents who were living in this tiny awful little trailer. They got them like 50 acres of land and built them a freakin mansion! Those two are the ones that really stand out, but i try not to miss one. I caught most of tonight's episode, nice touch to have the wedding in that one!

Oh yeah, the family who has 2 deaf parents, one severely disabled son and one completely normal son. Astouding family and super amazing work done on behalf of the team!

Haha awesome show indeed! I think it's on at 8:00 Sunday nights on channel 6, but there are re-runs throughout the week

i also liked the cassandra ep from last week she was such a cutie eh

[Melinda]

^^ The cassandra episode is actually a month or two old, last week was a re-run

[d-UNiT]

haha shes still so cute right?

[Melinda]

Yeah, she's adorabe! I sent off for some information on those necklaces she makes, still waiting to hear back but they said it might be a while until they were fully functionable

[d-UNiT]

oh really

that could be a cute little gift to give to a girl.. especially since all proceeds go to charity...

[Melinda]

Haha especially since a cute little girl made it especially for her

[nismodrifter]

its a pretty good show I must say, I try and watch it whenever I can, some true life changers for sure

[Thaco]

its a good show but sometimes it just annoys me when do take a house thats alreeady worth like $400k and make it in to a $2 million house.. if you ahve a $400k house, you dont need the help.


When its a broken down shit shack with holes in the floor like last night then its nice.

[d-UNiT]

i dont remember a house worth 400k when ive ever watched...

I want to shove that megaphone up Ty's ass

very cool show. not only do they build a great house for deserving people, they tell a story at the same time that actually means something. people can learn about renos/design ideas and life lessons at the same time.

the blonde designer Paige is CUTE!

[abyss]

I watched that one last night too! I bawled! Oh man, I couldn't think of a more deserving family. There was one I saw about a farm family that had this really great turn of the century house that they were redoing when the dad died in an accident, Ty pulled the dad's old work boots out of the closet still with mud on them and I lost it. I bawled for the rest of the episode. I think it's a great thing they do for these families.

Instead of 1, 2 million dollar upgrade why dont they get a few thousand people off the crank.
