Here it is, the Chapin home in the Kirkland Highlands.  This home is here today, but will be gone by Friday.  The Chapin family will get a new home courtesy of “Extreme Makeover” and ABC.  The family will come back from vacation to a brand new, fully furnished home.  It was obvious from the moment you stepped onto the block, everyone who lives nearby is taking a part.  This is a true neighborhood project with neighbors helping neighbors. What a wonderful testament to all who live here. This is community at its best.

Today it was already hopping. 

Outhouses, catering and equipment trucks, rental equipment, and huge lights were being set all over the street.

Friends of the family were all waiting to pack up the house.

Tomorrow the “before” photos will be taken and the heavy demolition begins.
