How wonderful to be part of such a great project. I'm one of those who absolutely cannot watch EM -- I'm a pool of tears before the show is over (mind you, not in a pool but am the pool). I start blubbering about 5 minutes into the show, stop when they're doing some of the work, start up again when the rooms start taking shape and then quit about an hour after the show is over. Not a pretty sight.

You must be thrilled to have been able to be part of this project. When you have the time, could you give us some details like how the family is selected, etc.?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could do something like this here on a mini basis ... get a crew of carpenters, etc. to help some of those who live here but have somehow become so impoverished or ill to be able to maintain their homes. Maybe you could help with this idea?
