'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' Albuquerque, New Mexico Day Two Summary: Demolition Day and Framing
Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) January 19, 2008 -- Day Two has become known as Demolition Day, when the construction crew takes down the house and the Albuquerque area residents got into the spirit by participating in the symbolic charge towards the Martinez family house. The construction charge was followed by the traditional Builder speech given by Kyle Fisher, division president for Atreus Homes & Communities.
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition's" Ty Pennington, his design team, the builder team, and the many volunteers took the implications of "Builder Day" and put them straight into their work and together they got several steps closer to the final goal of providing the Marinez family with their own extreme home makeover! Making sure the family has someplace to come home to is a big responsibility and it was evident that all involved were very aware of it today.
Day Two's morning activities were followed by demolition. The sheer number of people on site was evidence that specators will be traveling to the site 24/7 to watch the construction progress and try to catch a glimpse of design team members.

Tentative Day Three Construction Schedule:
With the house's foundation poured overnight, framing work is scheduled to begin at dawn on Friday, with work on plumbing, electrical and heat/air conditioning to start as soon as the first floor is framed. Wednesday will mark the day when the largest number of trade partners will be working on the house at the same time. More than 300 workers will all be under the same roof at one point, working to get the homes' construction started.
SPECTATOR INFORMATION:
Spectators are encouraged to visit the site during the build and cheer on the builders and design team. Spectators should park at the Fairgrounds parking lot (pick up a free-parking ticket across the street) and a shuttle service will take them to the set. The shuttle service will run from 7am to 7pm starting Thursday. Be aware there will be temporary rest rooms, but no food or water will be available on site.
