I was so thrilled when I got the opportunity to volunteer as a photographer for Extreme Makeover Home Edition! It was incredible to see what great things happen when people come together and serve their community! I was so impressed with how Extreme Makeover not only builds a new beautiful home, but also does a lot of work in the rest of the neighborhood. Volunteers painted houses, fixed roofs, planted trees, and cleaned up the area.
I arrived at 6 am...brrrr! It was very cold and windy. As you can see there wasn't anyone outside...at this point they were painting the inside of the house and library.
I got in a little trouble for taking this picture...I didn't know that I wasn't allowed to shoot through the windows. Ooops!
This is how they generated a lot of the electricity!
Because it had rained so much the night before, the whole area was a huge mud puddle! Workers had to take their shoes off.
Estridge is the builder for this project. They have done an incredible job! It's about 8 am in this shot...finally people started to arrive for me to take pictures of!
Besides the inside of the house, they just had landscaping left to do.
Here you can see volunteers getting served breakfast.
I was so glad Brian came along with me...I know he enjoyed the whole experience too!
