Just Jack Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 http://www.mahoneygives.com/family/ The Family Today, August 18, 2008, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will travel to Geneva, New York to tell the Hill family that they will receive a brand new home, enabling them to keep and improve their boxing gym for underprivileged teens. Ty and his designers will renovate their 150-year-old house in a remarkable seven days, giving them the space to continue their work. Tim Hill was an aspiring boxer whose boxing dreams were shattered when he broke his back while working on a construction site. Unable to box anymore, Tim went back to college for a degree in social work and afterwards worked as a counselor for high school kids. It was during this time that he was inspired to start the Geneva Boxing Team. For over 10 years, Tim has been training kids from the ages of 8 to 21 to box for free, and pays all expenses out of his pocket. Many of the kids are from broken and impoverished homes and Tim gives them a sense of pride and expert training that has made 3 Olympic hopefuls. Tim was awarded custody of one of these hopefuls, Aleem Whitfield, who came from a family with 23 children. In addition to Aleem, Tim and Michelle have 3 children of their own that they are raising in a 150-year-old house showing its age. It is now up to Ty and his designers to grant the Hill's dream of tearing down their old home and building a small boxing gym to help more kids in need. While Ty and the designers, local builder Mahoney Design & Build, Inc., and hundreds of volunteers and workers are rebuilding their home, the Hill family will go on vacation to Hilton Cancun Golf & Spa Resort. The design team for this episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will feature team leader Ty Pennington and designers Michael Moloney, Ed Sanders, John Littlefield, and Didiayer Snyder. The location address is: The Hill Family, 148 William St. Geneva, New York 14456. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Went twice today, some observations... A lot of hurry up and wait. They do some tear down of the supporting structure, before the TV tear down. They had removed some of the porch roof support posts, then put in 2x4s and painted them white to match. We could hear them ripping stuff down inside also. Apparently they want to save some of the moldings from the old porch for the new house, so some workers removed all but one, so Ty could be filmed removing that last one. Don't try to advertise your company if you're not an official sponsor or donor. Saw a production worker removing one company banner someone had hung on a fence railing. Plus some of the heavy equipment had tape over the company name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
