Demolition Day #2 - The "Family's" House

Another early morning. Volunteers started showing up around daybreak at the families home to volunteer to be in the march down the street before the team tore down the house.

Everyone had to check in at the production desk and sign a waiver that basically give ABC the right to use their image on the TV show. From there it was more hurry and wait, and while most of us waited, we had to keep our mind off of the cold temperatures...!!!

Eventually... the army of volunteers came running down the street with the designers in the lead, full of excitement of the fact that the house was just about to be torn down.

The crowds really love Ty. It's sometimes tough for the crew to film because the fans (mostly the girls) go nuts when he comes out to be on camera.

Today Ty got a little too close to the action when the excavator was tearing the house down and he almost was hit by debris.

After all the fun and games of making a TV show was through for the day, the builders took over and were down to business in no time.

One of the remarkable things about an Extreme Makeover is the pace of things. Not only was the house demolished in no time by the excavator, but it was removed from the site in about an hour and a half after it was demolished.
