If you haven't already heard, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is building a house in Chapman, KS for the Tutwiler family who lost their home in the tornado last June. Along with the new house, they are also building a new community center and refurbishing the city park. Chris and Ryan are headed there tonight along with a dozen other electricians in Salina to start the rough-in phase of the project. They are supposed to start at 6:30 this evening and have 6 hours to complete their jobs. Chris and Ryan will be working on the garage and pantry. I am sending the camera along with him and hopefully will have some pics to share tomorrow.
Sunday, they have to be back in Chapman at 5:00 am to do the finishing trim work which they have 8 hours to complete. I think that morning Madi and I will head over and check it out. It's pretty exciting stuff. There are a lot of contractors and tradesmen from the Salina area that have gone over already to help.
Check out the Rebuild Chapman website for pictures and a link to donate.
***Update***
Chris just came home to get some rest before going tonight. They are currently 6 hours behind on building. They are on call as to when they will actually be starting tonight (more likely early in the morning).
***Update...again***
This should be a fun night, they decided to go ahead and have everyone report at 6:30 anyways. Hopefully they don't have to wait around for too long. It's one thing to wait during the day, but not in the middle of the night.
