There are numerous dents, scrapes and holes in doors and walls because of the wheelchair and narrow kitchen and hallway. We have to move things out of his way when he gets home like boots, shoes and backpacks because there is inadequate storage near the entry.

Andrew has difficulty entering their home due to the odd angle of the enty made by the closet. There is re-occuring mold on the windows, baseboards and walls. This mold triggers his asthma and upper respiratory problems in the winter because the house is closed up.

It may be due to water leaking into their basement after heavy rainfall. The bathroom has barely enough room for Andrew's wheelchair, and when someone tries to help him at the sink, he needs to reposition his wheelchair many times so anyone can get behind him to pass by to get to the other side of him. The kitchen table has to be moved each time he passes through the room.

There is no chance for him to gain independence in this narrow galley kitchen. Denise and Paul cannot entertain another family because the size of their kitchen doesnt allow room for the 4 of them to sit comfortably. When they entertain, they have to do it outside in nicer weather or in the basement of their home, which is really inconvenient. They deserve better. Andrew deserves better.

The driveway is somewhat hilly and gets very slippery in the winter. This can be a problem when he is trying to get to the bus in the morning. I am inspired by Andrew and his love of God and his sense of humor.

He wakes each day with a smile on his face and a song in his heart. He is my hero for being so kind to others. He would rather that people see him as a person and not a disability.

I have to shake my head when I read the comments of people that don't care for this show. It's obviously not about the nuts-and-bolts building of a house, and as far as Ty "never picking up a hammer" - for God's sake, they can't show the entire seven days of building the house, and if they did, who'd want to watch it?!

Extreme Makeover Home Edition instead highlights the best in human behavior - compassion, a sincere desire to help someone in need, and the "pay it forward" idea that helping another human being will lead to that person helping another, and on and on. I don't enjoy being shown that people can be selfish, hateful morons that will eat a pig rectum or back-stab a friend for money or exposure, but I DO enjoy being reminded that there are people in the world willing to help others down their luck and do it in ways that change the recipient's lives.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition is a wonderful, entertaining, inspiring show, cast to perfection with funny, entertaining people who do their jobs with exquisite taste and imagination.
