It's day four of "Extreme Makeover" and impatience, excitement, and nervousness are around every corner. The project is coming to a close and workers and volunteers are really working hard on this. We are two hours ahead of schedule, but that is no shock because of the numerous builders working their tails off. Crowds are increasing with every passing day. The eagerness of the crowds really shows because they stay out all night. In the heat, people cheer for the occasional camera man, coming to catch a glimpse of the house in progress. In the moonlight, they stand in silence as the bright flood lights drown out the darkness and listen to the symphony of hammering and drilling.

A royal blue building now stands where a grassy lot use to lie. White trimmed windows match the white trimmed door frame with a brick base and the front door faces away from Federal Street. They are making their final touches on the outside of the home and are now focused on the internal structure. The painters are concluding their posts and the floors are beng put in right behind them. As soon as the paint is dry and the floors are in, the plumbers will follow with the porcelain bathroom. It is really a work of God!! We are expecting that this will be a positive week and will have no problems at all.
