"Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition" (tune in Sundays
8/7c on ABC) is filming on
site at the Martinez Family
home in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. The project is going
as planned with the entire
demolition and
reconstruction set to be
completed within one week!
On Day Three Ty, the
design team, and the Atreus
team of builders had their
work cut out for them with
the absolute necessity of
covering the recently
completed framing with
drywall. Walls were
definitely the name of the
game for Day Three, but by
the end of the day…there
were walls!
Visitors to the site keep
the teams spirits high. The
community's involvement is
always a big part of the
show and Albuquerque is no
exception. To keep up the
morale of the crew and the
volunteers alike Rusty
Wallace, NASCAR legend, is
visiting the site on Day 4
in the Atreus No. 66 Dodge!
His involvement with the
lead home builder has left
him interested in the
project and its progress.
Visitors are welcome to come
meet and talk to Rusty!
