Behind the Scenes at Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

A family in El Paso is spending the week in the Bahamas. All the while, their house is being demolished and rebuilt from the ground up. Maria Ruiz and her family stopped construction on their home 12 years ago, leaving it almost entirely unfinished. They turned their efforts toward feeding poor families in Juarez, Mexico and that is exactly why the design team of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is stepping in and taking over. The Ruiz home has seen better days. It has no heat and extensive water damage just to name a few of the problems. Nevertheless, Maria Ruiz and her family spend their funds purchasing food and clothes for those in Juarez. In order to build them a new house, though, a lot of equipment must be brought in. As for the new house...those plans are kept confidential. You'll just have to wait until March 15th to see the new house when it airs on ABC at 7pm Central Time.
