What an 'Extreme' week


Ty Pennington and his small army of 5,000 workers and countless semi-trucks were in Fresno this week to build a new house for a lucky family. They shut down most of the neighboring streets and fans were bussed in from the nearby civic center parking garage. The start of construction was delayed earlier in the week due to a cold and wet morning. However, we hope all went well as today is the day when the family returns and sees the transformation. We don't know anything about the story, since the show will air in March. Our guess is the mom lost her kids to a dinosaur that stomped around the city. We unfortunately could not see nor hear Ty, we think he was hooked up to a coffee IV at the local starbucks. We did get to catch a glimpse of Michael, shown in the picture below. It was a sight to see so many people working in such a small area. They truly must have some good neighbors because people were walking through yards all week. The noisy generators must keep some of them awake as well because they were loud! They apparently didn't mind because some across the street put up lawn chairs on their roof.
