Wow Kimmy! How cool is that!!! Amazing story, photos, house and everything. Ty is one of my favoritese (hunk, hunk, hunk!!!) and that show, although I've only seen it a few times, always makes me cry. Thanks SOOOOO much for sharing this awesome experience with us!

I have to add my thanks as well. I absolutely love that show and I am also always reduced to tears.

I joke that I have a "thing" for Ty, but Ed is my all time favorite. I am so glad to see him back after almost...um...removing his hand a few seasons back.

I found out yesterday that they are looking for volunteers for a build here in Pittsburgh too.....I would love to do that but can't take the time off from my regular job

You're welcome.

Glad you guys enjoy.

The show always makes me cry too.

Trinity, the Pittsburgh house they're working on is right in my neighborhood! I can see the lights from where they're filming almost from my house. The house is in Penn Hills about maybe ten houses down from mine.

I watch that show whenever I can catch it. What an awesome thing to do!! Am I the only one who think Ty is cute? Seriously, I think I am.

Anyway, that's so cool you got to meet the crew. Great stuff! I hope that family enjoys their new home. Do you know their story of why they were on the show?

That's really cool David! If you get a chance, I highly recommend going down and checking it out up close and personal. It's amazing.

Dad worked as a nurse for a local hospital and was accidentally stuck with a needle and died this past January as a result of the virus he contracted (hepatitis c).

And no, you're not the only one that thinks Ty is cute.

Andy calls him my other husband. LOL!

**Taz_Zoee** · 10-22-2008, 09:53 PM

I've always thought Ty was cute. I watched him way back when he was on TLC's Trading Spaces (I think that's the one he was on).

Oh man... I am in tears just looking at the pictures. That show NEVER fails to give me a good cry.

it warms my heart that so many people are there to help out a community member in needs. I wish ALL communities were like this... the world would be a better place.

just curious... how did you get to volunteer? how did you find out about it. i would love to do something like that for someone else.

**K9karen** · 10-22-2008, 11:27 PM

I am so impressed! What a wonderful, heartwarming experience!
The EM team was around Philadelphia last year, I think, and I've passed the house.

I have a thing for Ed. Man, when he cut his hand (memories) I panicked. Maybe it's the accent. Whatever, I think he has the sweetest personality.

The pictures are great, Kimmie! And you look terrific in short hair, if I hadn't already mentioned it!

**kallisto4529** · 10-23-2008, 04:54 AM

Oh my Gosh!!!!!!! I love this show!!!!!!! I watch it faithfully, you are so lucky!!! Ok all jealousy aside..lol I think it is wonderful you had the chance to volunteer like that, I always cry and I always am in awe at all the people that come out to help a total stranger, it reminds me of what this country is all about. thanks for all the photos.

I like the girls on Extreme Makeover, especially Paige!

Official Aire Date!!

Nickless Family
Nov 30, Sun 8/7c
Ty and the gang travel to Holt, Michigan, to rescue a widow and her three young sons from their crumbling 148-year-old house.

Sadly, life and work got in the way of my going over to watch, but when I was working on the golf course, from about 3/4 of a mile away I heard "Move that bus!" I can't wait to find the air date for the one in Pittsburgh.

**beeniesmom** · 11-20-2008, 06:55 AM

Awesome! I was wondering when it was going to air.
Looking forward to watching it.

**Cincy'sMom** · 11-20-2008, 07:59 AM

I was just telling Ralph we needed to start paying attention...the one from Toledo was on this past week and I knew they were working on the house in MI just after that so figured it had to air soon!

I don't know if anyone saw the one this past weekend, ( I have it on the DVR but haven't finished it yet), anyway, the fire station they were talking about where the dad works, is the one in my neighborhood...about 1/4 mile from my house. Kinda cool!
