Wisconsin Family Bowled Over By Extreme Makeover - Home Edition

[dgridley]

The crowd chanted, “Move that bus!” — the catchphrase of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition — and a new, five-bedroom home was revealed Thursday to the Anders-Beatty family, who are being featured on the popular TV show.

The home, just south of Richland Center, was built on an ultra-compressed time schedule of 106 hours, for the magic of television and by the elbow-grease of hundreds of construction workers, landscapers and volunteers.
The Anders-Beatty family arrived home Thursday from an ABC-sponsored vacation to Canada to find their rickety farmhouse replaced by a new home. Their reactions were filmed by a legion of TV cameras and watched by a crowd of hundreds.

Rochelle “Shelley” Anders, a first-grade teacher in Richland Center, and her children were told a week ago that they were chosen for the show, which picks down-on-their-luck families to receive a new home.
