Ext Makeover On Steps

 The Extreme Makeover Team has done it again, leaving a family with a wonderful, new home and a community sharing a fabulous experience. 

The Kirkland Highlands neighborhood, The Extreme Makeover crew, and the volunteers all worked together to get the job done.  A wonderful experience was had by all.  Thanks to all who participated, giving the Chapins a new home and the country a glimpse of our great community.

Day 8.5-Extreme Makeover was Extremely Close to the Goal

My trusty partner over at Windermere Real Estate/East,Inc, Angie Bondurant, went over to the site today, since I could not be there.  She hung in for about two hours and took some great photos.  The crew kept hoping they would be able to make it to the “Move the Bus” moment yesterday, but just could not do it.  So this morning between 9-11, the big moment will occur.

The new house number is up and is signed by the crew.
