Hope to have a chance to be one of the applicants for the Extereme
Makeover in Manila, Phils.

If i would be given a chance, I will really apply for it, in fact I keep
on praying evry night to the LORD for that, because until now, we don't
have our own house to live in for my own family.

Hoping that someday, it will be a dream come true for us.

Thanks and More Power to your show,

ABC TV's 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' Chooses Jimmy Jacobs Custom Homes to Help a Local Family
Sunday December 10, 10:00 am ET
Georgetown Custom Home Builder, 'Building a family's dream together' with hit TV show


GEORGETOWN, Texas, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- ABC-TV's hit television show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has chosen a local Georgetown homebuilder, Jimmy Jacobs Custom Homes to build one special Austin family a life-changing gift.
ADVERTISEMENT


One of the area's leading custom homebuilders, Jimmy Jacobs is set to begin construction on a new North Austin home for Patrick and Jeanette O'Donnell and their six children. With the help of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition's Ty Pennington and his expert design team, Jimmy Jacobs will help fulfill the O'Donnell family's dreams. Work on the home will begin December 12th, when Jacobs' crew and a team of volunteers will start the one-week marathon construction process in order to finish before the family returns. On Sunday, December 17th, the O'Donnell family will return from a trip to the Adaptive Sports Center at Crested Butte Ski Resort in Colorado for the grand unveiling of their new dream home, scheduled from 1 to 3 PM. Throughout the construction process and the unveiling activities, the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition crew will be filming for an episode of the show set to air in February/March 2007.

Of Patrick and Jeanette's six children, five have been diagnosed with autism. National autism experts are not aware of a single other family in the United States with five autistic children. Ranging in age from 15 to 5, the five children have been diagnosed with varying degrees of autism, from minimal to severe. The couple's fourth child, Meaghan, who shows no signs of autism, helps out as caretaker for her siblings. The wear and tear from the six children, five of whom have special needs, has taken its toll on the O'Donnell's home. The home's condition has grown hazardous, especially as some of the children get older and require ongoing care.

It is Jimmy Jacobs' attention to the unique needs and qualities of every family he serves that led Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to choose his company to join them on this project. Jimmy Jacobs Custom Homes is one of the top homebuilders in Central Texas, with a specialty in building high-quality, custom homes in Georgetown, Texas while also working to preserve its historic, small-town charm. After nearly 20 years in business, he has also developed some of the most sought-after communities in Central Texas. With proud homeowners in Georgetown, Highland Lakes, Round Rock, Austin, and New Braunfels, Jacobs has earned a reputation for his close attention to detailed, quality construction and his commitment to unmatched customer service. As part of the company's community efforts, Jimmy Jacobs Custom Homes has also developed an ongoing relationship with Habitat for Humanity. In past years, the Jacobs team has volunteered their time and services to build three different Habitat for Humanity homes in the Austin and Georgetown area.

"Our entire team is extremely excited and honored to be invited by Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to participate in such an extraordinary project," said Jimmy Jacobs. "As a company, we strive to always reach out and lend a helping

hand to the community, and it means a lot to us that we can help make this very special family's dreams come true."

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition airs on ABC TV on Sundays at 8/7c.

Wow he's having triplets!! He already has a little boy right?

I hope Ed was Right handed and not a Lefty incase of fine motor skill loss. .....Was Ed ever given Professional Carpentry training, or is his self learned..... I hope they go back over with him the safety percausions of the equipment.   His injury is exactly why I am scared of electric saws... one false move and no more painting, drawing or writing.

‘EXTREME MAKEOVER’ VISIT

Carpenter slices hand during project

Tuesday, November 21, 2006

Dennis Fiely

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Ed Sanders, a carpenter, awaits a physical-therapy session at Hand and Microsurgery Associates in Columbus.

An unexpected subplot emerged during the weekend on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition when a cast member suffered a serious hand injury while working in Whitehall.

"It’s going to be a big part of the show," Ed Sanders said yesterday during his first physical-therapy session at Hand and Microsurgery Associates on the Northwest Side.

The actor and carpenter, 31, was helping to put the finishing touches on the home of Jason and Kirsti Thomas on Saturday when he accidentally sliced the width of his left palm with the blade of an electric saw.

Medics rushed Sanders to the emergency room at Riverside Methodist Hospital, where he underwent four hours of surgery.

A camera crew documented his operation and recovery, Riverside spokeswoman Christina Fitzer said.

The additional footage includes a bedside visit from Ty Pennington, host of the ABC reality show.

On Sunday, the show concluded six days of shooting in the Columbus area — with the two-hour episode about the construction of the Thomas home expected to air in February.

Mr. Thomas, a 32-year-old father of five, is a former Marine who helped rescue police officers from the World Trade Center rubble after the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001.

The new twist adds medical drama to the story line.

Dr. Lawrence Lubbers repaired dozens of severed nerves, tendons and arteries in Sanders’ hand.

"Anytime someone takes on a . . . blade that’s moving at 11,000 rpm like Ed did, it’s going to be a bad injury," Lubbers said. "But it’s not uncommon for our practice. I saw three similar injuries last weekend."

Sanders was sculpting a U.S. flag in wood for the Thomas dining room when the accident occurred.

"It was horrendous," he said. "It took a massive load of meat out of my hand. I was sure my carpentry and acting careers were done and dusted."

Still, Lubbers said, Sanders should eventually expect "nearnormal function" in the hand.

"We were able to repair all of the structures precisely, but 50 percent of his outcome will depend on his rehabilitation. He needs to really work hard with his therapists."

Sanders was scheduled to fly home to Los Angeles today, Fitzer said, but might return to Columbus for checkups or more therapy.

Despite the dramatic premise of completing ambitious remodeling projects in five days, Sanders said, haste didn’t play a role in the accident.

"I never rush a project, and we have loads of guys to help."

He blamed himself for removing the safety guard.

"I want to get this message across to the audience: Don’t ever do that."

His only previous showrelated problem, he said, was a staph infection that developed from a foot blister.

Sanders grimaced in pain yesterday as therapist Kathy Villacres slowly removed his bandages.

"Oh, my God," he said upon inspecting the wound. "The fact that he (Lubbers) put everything back together is amazing."

The native of London, England, recently completed his second season with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

As of yesterday, he hadn’t told his wife about the severity of his injury.

"She’s pregnant with triplets, and I don’t want to upset her," he said. "She’s already had two miscarriages."

Sanders, who didn’t require a skin graft, has full movement in his fingers.

"It could have been worse," he said. "It could have left a couple of fingers on the floor."
