I know by now this is old news... but I really wanted to share some final images of our crazy week. The night security left we were a bit sad... Drew and Andy made friends with our night watchman named Carl. A guy from CA who's dream is to start a Boys Home - Carl we wish you the best of luck with you endeavor.
Things are much quieter around here. I'd say back to normal. The residents that had damage to their property already have new lawns or seed. The family seems to be enjoying their home... although they'll need to keep their blinds shut until the show airs in October. The traffic is low... maybe I run into one slow driving rubber-necker on the way down the street.
We are happy and proud to have been part of this event. I have more shots... but will probably wait to post any until after the air-date...
If you lived on the block you got a special tag to wear and one for your vehicle. Leaving home was not easy for the residents in the 700 block of Elm Street. Not only were they barricaded in, but they also had to deal with the crowds creeping on their private property, lights blaring at night, 24 hours of zooming golf cars and the sounds of constant construction.
Volunteers had to sign in at Shattuck Middle School. This friendly woman from Community First organized all the volunteer's contracts.
These weary volunteers just got done laying all the cork flooring in the home.
Lock and Key Productions "gas man" - this guy drove all around making sure the generators and all the vehicles had enough gas for the week.
Landscaping staged on Laudan...
Furniture staged waiting to be placed on Reed St.
Looks like they got fixtures from Kohler - yet another Wisconsin based company.
