Attention all Extreme Makeover Home Edition fans! It's Johnny Littlefield here, and each week I would normally just sit here and tell you how incredibly deserving the family is, well since all our families are deserving, I put fingers to keys to speak about our great volunteers!
The question that I am most frequently asked is "do you guys really build that house in a week?” The answer is no...No we don’t, we actually build it in about five days! In order to pull off this incredible feat, is with the help of hundreds if not thousands of volunteers. From the builder to their subs to the little old ladies sweeping the floors, the only way we get this done is through all of these dedicated angels.
One of these angels that I speak of is a gentleman by the name of STRETCH. He and I created not only the Monster truck bed that you saw on Sunday night's show but the sculpture as well. This scrap metal Picasso is and was a brilliant addition to the Kansas City house and if the bed and sculpture wasn't enough, he, along with Daniel's marine buddies build the flagpole as well.
It's men like STRETCH and thousands of volunteers like him that put the EXTREME into our title each week. To all our volunteers, be it construction, vendors, decor, the people cheering us on in the spectators section in the middle of the night, and our guest artists. Thank You! For without you, we are nothing! And thank you again to my friend STRETCH!
All Respect! Johnny
