Looks like they are doing a 24hr delay, but I'm excited that a family in Tulsa is the recipient of a new house packed with goodies. Don't know what anyone is allowed to disclose but is a family I know, and the sister of another forum poster. He is out there right now trying to get the scoop because the family is kept away from phones, internet, etc.
Where are they building it?
Since TU is a sponsor, we've been receiving emails about the build. The message we received today included this link http://www.extremesimmons.com/ and mentioned that the home is near 11th and Harvard.
SE corner, by the liquor store and dentist office. 1124 S Indianapolis.
The family was in a hotel last night and finally heads out of town this morning. Work has been going all night and demo is supposed to be at 2pm.
Hmm trying to picture the house, I was looking at property right there a year ago. I love the little circular neighborhood from Indianapolis over to Knoxville right there.
Visited the set yesterday. They poured the foundation at 3pm on Saturday and laid the last shingle about 3pm on Sunday. Since this picture was taken they have put on a brick exterior, sheetrocked the walls, installed cabinets, etc. At one point they were 16 hours behind but now they seem on schedule to complete today/tomorrow so the house can be furnished and revealed at 2pm on Wednesday. It is hard to tell int eh picture but only the front section of the house is two story, it expands into what used to be the backyard quite a ways. It is likely 3,000sqft +
I know that a BUNCH of people are working on this but..
I've been told that only a few courses of bricks should be set per day. How can the whole exterior be done so quickly? Any brick masons out there in TNF land?
Meant to add the note that if anyone wants to view it, you HAVE to catch the shuttle at the west end of the fairground pavilion, it will take you to the spectator's area.

Where are the "Preserve Midtown" protestors? ;)
Very cool to see a deserving local family wind up with this.
Here's what it looked like two hours ago
The house setback is very respectful to the rest of the hood IMO
I think the intentions behind these projects are great, My brother in law has now helped with this one and the one they did a few years ago near bartlesville. Helping out families in need with the many resources that would otherwise just be sold to someone is wonderful, however, the reality of these situations often don't work out as well as intended. As green as they make some of them these houses are generally huge and come with big utility bills, also because most of the time they come mortgage free its all too tempting to borrow against the value of the house. More than a few of these houses have ended up in foreclosure. Like I said the idea is fantastic and sometimes it works out great, just seems it would make more sense to build a sensible sized home with a bit more modest furnishings to be more realistic to a lifestyle these families will be able to maintain.

A moron in a 4,000sq ft house is still a moron in a 2,000sq ft house.
The family was likely paying $800ish a month on mortgage payments before and doubling the house size is not going to mean their utilities will go up anything close to that amount.

Since the house was poorly insulated among other issues (according to the interview they did the other morning on channel 8 with the builder) I have a feeling utility costs should stay about where they where before. I also agree someone that makes poor financial decisions will make them no matter the size of the home.
Either way I wish this family luck.
Oh i agree with that... most of the decisions that cause these gifts to go bad are on the shoulder of the owner, but some of the houses they build are multi-million dollar homes, I guess maybe it just seems like overkill to me. I can only imagine when you come from a situation where you have little or nothing to owning something like that with all the things they fill it with it can lead to a lot of temptation that could be overwhelming. When you haven't ever had money to manage making the right decisions could be tough.
I was told that this is one of the smaller homes they have done. Will be there in a few hours and on through the evening and then morning doing the mural for the boys room. Got called last night to do the job so have been shuffling my schedule around and thinking out the mural, what I want to do, supplies, friends to help, etc. One of them noted there was a liquor store right around the corner,,, ought to make for a fun evening, wooo hoooo paint fumes and liquor 8)

+1 to what the others said, but one more thing to think about: Yes this is a great help to a family, but this is also big television. Small and spartan wouldn't create near as much interest with viewers, which translates to ratings. It's a shame what some people do, it's much like the lottery mentality where you hear of a multi million $$ winner being flat azz broke five years later.
I am curious though at what point "deadline" reality shows will fade from popularity. So many home or vehicle project reality shows always have manic deadlines of some sort. It's a bit tiring to me, but I guess it still sells ad revenue.
And William- great to hear your work will be included. Any idea how you got recommended for the project? I'm thinking something bold and Grecian for the mural 8)
As was reported in the TW story, there is a little girl who came up with the theme for the room, so no Grecian stuff lol. But not sure if I can "disclose" what the theme is. And drats, wasnt able to get started today, (kinda glad, the paint fumes were a bit much even for me lol) so will be there super early in the morning and pull an all dayer. I think its going to actually be quite interesting to see what I can do in one whole day. I am gonna have to be mooooving and throwing all those years of experience at it. As for how I got the gig,,, I actually got refferred to them via several people, and was called several times last night and early this morning by different people to see if I could be a part of the project, so that was very flattering.
Real proud of you, William, this is great!
Congratulations Artist.
A couple of my friends helped on this project. Artist, that is very cool that you were involved. I got to see a presentation by the project manager of Simmons when they did the house in Bartlesville. It was amazing to see the time lapsed construction and hear about the challange of building it in 6 days. They apparently use some kind of fast drying cement that is very expensive. I was also amazed at how much of it is donated. I figured the show payed for everything but almost everything is donated by the builders, sponsers, and locals that want to help. Also the new home owner is helped out later if they have trouble with the taxes or anything. They don't just give them the house and say good luck paying for the bills. The energy bills are not much worse and sometimes are better because it is a more efficient house than the old one. At the presentation I went to, Simmons said they wanted to do more projects like the one in Bartlesville so it is good to see it happening.

I'm glad there is help if the owner needs it, especailly with taxes.
Good going, William! Ill have to TiVo it when it airs ('cause I really dont watch anything on 8 ).
It would have been fun to design their outdoor lighting, if nothing else than to provide a good example people could judge with their own eyes.
Mostly recessed, not shining in windows, brightness to proper scale, etc.

Decorative lights should have decorative intensities.
There, I just saved all TU's and DTU's investments ;D
The moment finally arrived almost 3 hours late, but here it is:
Did you shoot that Scott? Looks like you had a great vantage point. How many people were gathered around? I was wondering if they had a big kegger last night to celebrate ;)

Yes, I shot it. Had a really great vantage point. I'm not a good counter of people but I'd say it was a 4 digit number.
Here's a few more photos I took: (no zoom used in these)
Holy cow ... Sheryl Crow and Miranda Lambert both were there? :o
Artist,
Now that it's finished, can you tell us anything about what you did on the mural?
I'm happy if the family living there is happy I'm happy. But has anyone else noticed the house is out of scale to surrounding homes and it is generally not pleasing to the eye? Post-Modernism is not going to age well.
My grandmother used to live in that neighborhood in the 50s and since it has been completely changed by the encroachment of TU and all the tacky apartment buildings. Originally it was a modest but rather lovely neighborhood. Remember that old white brick library with the steeple?
Tulsa used to be so pretty.

From the front it has the same setback as the rest of the houses and width-wise it is the same. There are design elements shared with the house next door to the south. The house next door on the north has a chicken coop in the front yard so I guess you're right, they need a chicken coop so they can fit in.
So is the crew now headed to Slaughterville, OK?

The house is too big and out of context for the surrounding hood. I'm glad for them but no use spinning it.
HT- I think you're remembering the little white colonial style library a bit farther north near 2nd street east of Lewis and Whittier Square. It was just called the 2nd street library. Charming, quiet and very handy to me growing up. Glad to see you're still here.

Agree 100%. They seem to be a really deserving family, it's a wonderful home, but I can't help but feel bad for the neighbors. Simmons should have just built them a house in one of his many developments. But that wouldn't have been as dramatic.
At least you guys are helping me out of the guilt I was feeling for the exact same reaction I was having. At least it wasn't a Tuscan nightmare ;)

I heard it's in excess of 3,000 square feet. I know from a previous owner that the house next door is around 1,600. I guess it is extreme in many ways.

Most of those lots are 50 x 150 in that part of town and there have been some really lousy additions done on a lot of the original craftsmen, bungalow, and gingerbread style homes in the area.
As far as this goes, the style is not necessarily in keeping with everything else in that circular neighborhood, but it's not poorly done, either. At least they didn't plop this down smack in the middle of Florence Park. I think the impact on that particular neighborhood is not as bad since, IMO, that neighborhood is not in quite as much demand for it's original architecture as is FloPa. There's also an odd and ecclectic mix of eras represented in the neighborhood this house is in. Houses range from the mid to late 1930's to the 1950's craftsman to ranch, just on that block alone. There's at least one house I'm thinking of about a block to the east which appears to have been built in the late 60's or early 70's. I don't see a huge sin here, there are other areas I think this would have seemed more out of place.
I was just looking at the slideshow on the TW website and yes it is a bit out of scale in this neighborhood. It looks nice though and I'm happy for the family and for Tulsa getting positive media exposure. Even though I'm not a fan of that show it does pull in a lot of viewers on Sunday nights before Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters come on. It will surprise (some) people to see that we have snow here. :)

They have multiple crews and are always doing two shows at any time. Ty is the only person who is at both (which is why he is there for the beginning and end, but disappears in the middle)

Then they would have to sell their old one and would be resigned to living in suburbia. As it is, a well known TU benefactor (and fan of red cubes) paid off their mortgage. (Photo of the family thanking said benefactor attached)
Also, TU gave all 3 kids scholarships and TU is taking over Ethan's speech therapy so you want to keep the location.

That's awesome about the scholarships and speech therapy! More life-changing than the house!!
I'm no tax expert, but it's my understanding that when someone pays off your mortgage, gives you a house, etc, etc, the IRS considers that income and you have to claim it and pay taxes on it. So yes, they are definitely better off, but there ain't no such thing as a free house.

From what I've read, here is what happens. The starkweathers LEASE the house TO ABC during which time the "tenant" makes improvements to the property. When a tenant leaves, the improvements stay with the property and are not considered income.
As far as a mortgage payoff, they likely do some lump sum payment in addition to cover tax liabilities.
I was very moved by TU's gesture with the scholarships and therapy. It's neat to see the community pull together and kind of hard to see how much really goes on behind the scenes once it's edited down to a one hour show. Thanks for the updates, Scott.

Really impressive since the reveal took about 3 hours, not counting the additional hours spent revealing the inside of the house.
I hope that this doesn't happen.

I'm guessing this house isn't a 5300 foot^2 behemoth mansion....and probably not worth $1 million. Let's hope they don't feel the need to take out some frivolous loan.
There are many things to like about this project, in particular, the humanitarian inclinations of the participants - but good gawd almighty, the columns on the front of that house have *got* to go. :o :o

Note is was foreclosed on for a loan they got to pay utilities and "other bills"
The only house previously foreclosed on was because the owners took a loan against it to finance a business they were trying to start. Even at that, that puts the foreclosure rate at 1 out of every 80 homes... what's the national rate?
I'm still scratching my head at how the loan on the Arizona house was ever approved- ostensibly the husband's work history was somewhat spotty, he has 8 dependents, probably crushing medical liabilities from his daughter's cancer. There seems to have been a pattern of stupid lending in Arizona based on the foreclosure rates out that way. A loaded payment on a $400K loan would have been around $2500 I would think.

It's because the lenders in Arizona thought the price of housing would go up forever ... at 15 to 25 percent per year, no less.
Hell, you had guys like inteller on this very forum, trumpeting Arizona's bubble like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread and not taking a moment to wonder whether the gains were irrational. Lots of people got caught up in the madness.
Plus the loan officers were writing loans with little thought of anything except their commissions.

No new episodes next two sundays. If it airs in production order it will show on March 14th. At the time of filming there was some mumbling about it becoming a 2-hr episode which could also mean it airs out of order. I could see them also possibly wanting to separate the two Oklahoma episodes instead of airing them back-to-back.

I think march is definitely out.
Well it finally aired. Trogdor is in it a few times, I saw the right half of my face in one scene.. woo
Anyway. Surprised the barely mentioned the snowstorm/delay and completely left out all TU did for the family as well as mention of the record-setting fundraising they did for make-a-wish.
But we did get to see TheArtist working, for everyone who thinks he just sits on the computer all day...

There is TheArtist's handy work.
Anyway, some things that were skipped over on the show.
1) TU . I heard somebody say that hey had the biggest community rally that they have had on the show (unconfirmed). They also gave all the boys scholarships to TU. Would have been nice if they gotten a little more advertising on the show.
2) Fund Raising. They raised over $330k for Make a Wish through fund raising. They said that it was by far the biggest fund raising effort they have had on Extreme Makeover Home Edition since they started airing.

First, that is awesome Artist!! Second, yes they should've advertised TU more considering it was practically next door. Overall it was good publicity for Tulsa.
The artist is in there a lot more in the show. There is a portion that shows him doing the whole mural in about 5 seconds of footage (In actuality it took about 12 minutes right?) Anyway, if you go frame by frame you can see him lots. *He doesn't look directly at the camera in those parts*
