More Extreme Home Makeover-Our Saturday Trip
Saturday we brought the firetruck up to the EHM set. We also brought our Class A uniforms. We really wanted to have a good firefighter presence for both the show and the public that were there. It seems like firefighters only come out for other firefighters when a firefighter dies. It was important for us to come out and support these guys during a happy event.
Saturday went so much better. After the crazy 100 mile ride in the fire truck (it's so not comfortable) we arrived ready to go. We did more work with the production crew and getting the fire station ready for reveal. We had a great time talking to the photographers and videographers, the production crew, and the Port Arthur FD.
We helped bring the furniture inside, assisted with finishing up special projects, and helped with the public.
Apparently this is dangerous work. I ended up with bruises everywhere, a gash on my head, and scratches on my arm. What the heck?? I didn't do anything to warrent these semi-injuries. But somehow I ended up with them.
Moving on....One of our captains brought t-shirts and patches to hand out to the crew. Apparently fire t-shirts are a hot commodity with them. They were loving us. One of the firefighters ended up giving his badge to one of the head production guys and after that we were treated like gold. We even got to eat lunch with the cast and the crew.
Again, I was dissapointed that the cast members were not a part of putting the final touches on the building. Ty didn't even show up. We stayed long enough for the reveal but we didn't stay for the surprise, which they revealed an hour after the firefighters got to see the new fire station. So unless Ty showed up with the surprise, he wasn't even their for the reveal. Mike and Pauly were the ones who did the 'Move that bus' moment.
One cool thing before I forget...my picture, my fire department and a quote that I said are in the Beaumont newspaper. Here is a link.
I can't reveal too much about the show or put up many of the pictures that I took until the show airs (April 13). We had to sign all of these forms and legal documents stating that we can't post vital pictures or information. I totally don't want to be sued by ABC. LOL So here are some not so vital pictures from our time in Sabine Pass:
