TJC On-site at Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Fayetteville

Today Tom Johnson Camping Center is in Fayetteville, NC at the site of the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition rebuild of the Jubilee House.  Led by Barbara Summey Marshall, a 15-year Navy veteran, Jubilee House is a home for military women in transition and currently is home to Marshall, five women and two children. At 1500 sqft and 40 years of age the home, with only one bath and no dining room, is too small and old to handle the demand.

During the day yesterday TJC brought in a number of RVs to the build allowing the designers to have immediate access to the site during the long days and nights ahead as they tear down and rebuild this home in 7 days. Last night while we arranged the RVs, volunteers descended on the home to empty it out while crews prepared the site. 

Today began with volunteers and members of the military gathering to help tear down the old house. It takes an awful lot of people to pull a house down but with all the military muscle this house was pulled apart in no time. 

 

Watch the House Tearing Down!!
