Building a dream
home
It’s
more than just a television series. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,
every Wednesday at 7 pm on BBC Entertainment is a reality show that
provides home renovations for families who have faced a natural
disaster or has a member with a life-threatening disease or simply
people who do not have the means to improve their living conditions.
In each show, one deserving family is identified from thousands of
applications and show host Ty Pennington with a team of four designers
gets down to the job of tearing down the house and then renovating it.
The challenge is to re-make the house in seven days. The team takes
the help of neighbours, local contractors, architects and construction
companies. Every house is given a five-star renovation. The end is
always tear-jerking when the family members are given the home of
their dreams. — NF
