Sandpoint in lights -- again
Last month it was America's Most Desperate Fan. This month it's Extreme Makeover Home Edition.
Sandpoint is getting more national media attention. For those of you who may not follow "Good Morning America," Donna Deshon from Sandpoint won the title of America's Most Desperate Fan after putting together a two-minute spoof of the "Desperate Housewives" show on ABC.
Yesterday, the crew of Extreme Makeover Home Edition arrived in Sandpoint to notify a 37-year-old bachelor who's raising his niece and nephew (twins) that they will have a new home when they return from the Bahamas just before Thanksgiving. The new home is being built just off Baldy Road near the old Healey place. To get there over the next week, people, not living in the neighborhood, have to board buses to visit the site and watch the action.
Building a new house that fast could not be a heckuva lot of fun right now cuz we're getting plenty of good ol' North Idaho slop today. But, there are some locals like Skip Pucci involved in the process. They know how to work against the elements.
Anyway, that's what's new from the home front. You can watch the Sandpoint construction project on ABC sometime in 2006.
Hope all's well with everyone and that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
