After months of hearing about the visit Ty Pennington and his crew from ABC’s Extreme Home Makeover paid to Charlotte in late July of this past year, we finally got to see what all the buzz was about. In last night’s 1 hour show, Pennington and crew made over the East Charlotte home of Alisha King and her family.
King and her husband Curtis, are the parents of 3 of their own children and at least another dozen or so kids they care for at their day care ‘Step by Step’. It was a pretty heartwarming story about how this family has opened their home and their hearts to so many low income families in need of a safe place to take their kids and not have to pay huge fees to do so. Yet the King’s home was in desperate need of repair as their was significant amounts of mold under the tiny, aged house.
Well, true to form, after just 7 days, the big bus rolled away to reveal a beautiful new home and attached day care facility where the old one once stood. The King’s were of course extremely excited with the work that had been done and the house was absolutely gorgeous.
