From Demolition to Dream Home Buffalo Lumber invited to Extreme Makeover Home Edition!
We got a call late Friday from Extreme Makeover Home Edition. They wanted to install our Western Red Cedar Siding on an upcoming EMHE episode. By Tuesday the specs were in;
CLEAR grade cedar siding, 3 different sizes, 2 different patterns, all in specific pre-cut lengths. The only catch - it had to be crated and delivered in 7 days to the set
on Virginia Beach. One week. A custom siding order that usually runs 3-5 weeks.

Day 1: Demo by Semi As I got out of the car and into the pandemonium that is an Extreme Makeover Set I knew we were going to have some fun because I saw a guy chain sawing the house! What I did not see was a wrecking ball. I asked one of the construction guys standing there "Where is the wrecking ball? I want to get some shots.". He just laughed and said "they are not using a wrecking ball on this one. They are going to pull it apart with semi trucks..." Extreme Makeover Day 1 DEMO by SEMI, Story & Pictures Day 2: Frame N Crane Ahhh- Here come the house panels. When I say house panel what I am talking about is 60 foot long - 12 foot wide pre framed - ½ of a house on a truck. It has the floor, walls and ceiling all framed in. On the Extreme site is a very large and powerful crane. The truck pulling the house panel has some bars in the back. Attached to the end of the bars are very long metal cables. The crane is attached to the bars and the entire house section is hoisted into the air ... link to Day 2 Frame N Crane, pictures and story, will be up Friday March 4th Day 3: Night Shift When I got there Wednesday night the house was up, the roof on and the hardy plank siding being installed. Coming in every day like this you get a real sense of how fast these guys actually progress. From foundation to roof in one day is pretty amazing. I checked in to see if our cedar was going to be installed and I found 2 workers scratching their heads over our crate of cedar siding.

I had taken grief from both my mill rep and my partner about not staying for the actual installation - which took place in the wee hours of the night shift - so I wanted to make the most of this shoot. About 30 minutes after I got there Pretty in Pink (one of the show hosts) was hoisted onto the lift to do a shoot explaining the reason for the patchwork design on the show.

"Please put your cameras away people, it makes us feel weird to be taking pictures of you taking pictures of us." The guy with the megaphone announced. "We need everyone busy working when the shoot starts" he continued. A bunch of guys started reaching for our cedar siding. "Holy Band Saw Batman - our Buffalo Lumber CEDAR is going LIVE". . .

My partner and I agreed that I should get up early and take some pre dawn shots before my 6AM flight. Boy was that ever a great idea (it was hers). Due to the Extreme Lighting the shots came out great. If it hadn't been for the big blue tarp it would have looked as though we staged it. The yard was completely landscaped and the driveway installed. You'd never suspect the chaos that marked this home's introduction to the world. It was beautiful. This family will be happy.

Very few things in life are as fundamentally rewarding as seeing something go from beginning to completion and come together beautifully.
Everyone who does one of these gets to leave with that feeling of accomplishment and completion.
(I wonder how long a break they get before the next insane Wagon Train?)
