The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Phelan reveal

Three photos taken with my iPhone on Saturday, February 7, between 12:30 and 4:45 in Phelan, California, where the Almquist family were the recipients of a home makeover (actually a from-the-ground-up new house) courtesy of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

More than 1,000 spectators turned out to see the unveiling, which was originally scheduled for 2 p.m., although weather delayed the crew finishing the house. (They were still doing touch-up painting on the outside, and presumably more stuff inside, as I saw two decorators carrying around a tall black vase with white dots in the last few hours and other crew members ferrying small palm trees around on the back of a golf cart.)

The everyone-but-Ty-Pennington cast do a walk along the road to wave to the spectators.

Shortly before the reveal at 4:42. The temperature has dropped to 39 degrees and cleared out a few hundred of the spectators. (I estimate, at their peak, there were just under 2,000 of them, back when it was sunny and warmer.)

The tan dot in front of the bus is Ty Pennington, rehearsing his script as the Almquist family’s limo drives toward Phelan.
