Twin Cities Area Extreme Home Makeover

There’s an Extreme Home Makeover going on in the Twin Cities this weekend. The TV show’s crew and an army of local volunteers has demolished the crumbling home of St. Paul’s Sandy Morris and is building a new home that could house her family for another 100 years.

The old house had a crumbling foundation, sinking roof, buckling walls, and a mold problem. It is a much needed rebuild, but since Sandy grew up in the house it is a bittersweet blessing. In an interview with the Star Tribune, Sandy said “It’s going to be quite emotional.”

Sandy runs a successful and very popular day care center in her home, and the new house will accommodate an expansion of her day care as well.

As in many of the Extreme Makeover Home Edition shows, the mission is to improve the neighborhood as well as the family’s home. In this case, there is a food drive, a blood bank, and a neighborhood cleanup going on which will provide benefits to everyone in the vicinity.

The crew can use all the volunteers they can get to complete all the projects in their designated 96 hour time frame. They need qualified carpenters of course, but also anyone who can help with painting, cleanup, minor repairs, etc. According to their website, they “need 100-200 volunteers a day that will be used in traffic control, clean-up, catering, shipping, and other misc. duties.”

Volunteer shifts are running every 4 hours, beginning at midnight. They request check-in to be 20 minutes prior to the start of a shift. Volunteers are especially needed in the overnight hours.

While they might end up turning people away, if you want a chance to help improve the lives of a deserving area family and improve an entire neighborhood in the process, put on your steel toed boots, grab your hammer and head on over to the site! Well, first you need to head over to their website and read all the rules and find out just how to volunteer.

Oh, and don’t forget to donate blood at the associated blood drive. You can find more information on the Red Cross website.

Bicycling is a popular sport in Minnesota. So popular that we have more bike trails than any other state in the country! Hennepin County has an extensive list of trails available for leisure, exercise, and basic transportation. While many of these are on-road routes, the number of off-road trails are growing as well.

The Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail follows the path of an old railway and runs from Hopkins through Chanhassen. There are plenty of entry points and stop-offs, beautiful views, and notes of history along the way.

One of the best treasures of nearby Eden Prarie is Birch Island Woods. It is 36 acres of protected sanctuary in its natural state with trees and wetland. Bike trails, along with hiking, ski, and nature trails, snake through it and are linked to the Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail.

Within the city of Edina, there is progress on improving the bike trail system with a comprehensive plan that is being implemented. The goal is to create a bike-friendly community conducive and safe to all kinds of bicycling. Follow the latest improvements, view the whole plan, and find upcoming bicycle events at Bike Edina.

Check out the list of frequently updated Edina bicycling events, maps, and comments from MapMyRide.

Want some more to do? There is lots of general info and social bicycle events on the Twin Cities Bicycling Club website.

On a final note, before you jump on your bike, help keep our bike trails safer by reviewing the rules of The Minnesota Share the Road Bicycle Safety Education Program.

Enjoy your ride!
