Pulling an All-Nighter

Working on the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition build is a 24-hour a day task. Builders, volunteers, and spectators stay well into the night in order to ensure that everything is taken of.

Earth Link Geothermal Services of Ossian, Ind. dug a six-foot deep trench Friday night as a part of their project. Workers put in time over the night to keep the project on schedule.

Coordination is one of the biggest challenges that Extreme Makeover: Home Edition faces. Members of Extreme Security and the Miami County EMA help to direct the various vehicles and equipment to the right location. It is common for Extreme Security to coordinate with local forces.  Andy Michaels of the Bravo Team of Extreme Security has been working with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for the past two seasons.

Safety is also key at the build site. Emergency medical technicians are required to be on the site 24/7 in case of an accident.

Due to the changes in parking, security is needed in the parking lot as well. Ron Dausch, Miami County deputy sheriff, has volunteered after his patrol shift to watch over the lot. Dausch feels that the build is a great opportunity for the community.

The crowd also keeps an eye on construction through the night.
