Day 2 of the Extreme Makeover Home Edition: Scott Family entered Day 2. The house is gone and the ground work is in motion. Workers will work through the night tonight getting the ground ready and concrete poured. It won't be long until the framing begins and the new home for the Scott family starts to take shape. The clock it ticking on the 106 Hours to get the house built. Don Duncan and Bert Singletary lead the build team to build a new home for Trina Scott and her 3 daughters.

Before the house was torn down, we went in and took out many items that have been donated to the Habitat for humanity. It's great to see things that are able to be used by others.

The Spectator area has been set up for those wanting to come out and see the home as it is being built. You can visit the site from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Parking will be at Woodlawn Elementary School and bus transportation will be available to the site. On Thursday there will be a blood drive from Noon to 6:00 PM and a canned food drive will be ongoing this week as well.

Also, please don't forget that Farmers & Merchants Bank will be accepting cash donations for the project and the family. If everyone could donate $1.00, Just imagine how much money could be raised.
