Day Two has become known as Demolition Day,
when the construction crew takes down the
house and the Albuquerque area residents got
into the spirit by participating in the
symbolic charge towards the Martinez family
house. The construction charge was followed
by the traditional Builder speech given by
Kyle Fisher, division president for Atreus
Homes & Communities.
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition's" Ty
Pennington, his design team, the builder
team, and the many volunteers took the
implications of "Builder Day" and put them
straight into their work and together they
got several steps closer to the final goal
of providing the Marinez family with their
own extreme home makeover! Making sure the
family has someplace to come home to is a
big responsibility and it was evident that
all involved were very aware of it today.
Day Two's morning activities were
followed by demolition. The sheer number of
people on site was evidence that specators
will be traveling to the site 24/7 to watch
the construction progress and try to catch a
glimpse of design team members.

Tentative Day Three Construction
Schedule:
With the house's foundation poured
overnight, framing work is scheduled to
begin at dawn on Friday, with work on
plumbing, electrical and heat/air
conditioning to start as soon as the first
floor is framed. Wednesday will mark the day
when the largest number of trade partners
will be working on the house at the same
time. More than 300 workers will all be
under the same roof at one point, working to
get the homes' construction started.
SPECTATOR INFORMATION:
Spectators are encouraged to visit the site
during the build and cheer on the builders
and design team. Spectators should park at
the Fairgrounds parking lot (pick up a
free-parking ticket across the street) and a

The shuttle service will run from 7am to 7pm

temporary rest rooms, but no food or water
will be available on site.
