The Arenas are now national celebrities.

Well, if any one or thing made me cry, it was Big Jim.

I'm just so happy for him, Gina and all the Arena's.

AWESOME, AWESOME family, makes for an awesome TV show.

Congrats!! Thanks again for the message you sent and continue to send to everyone...

the episode was very moving, but the transformation was truly unbelieveable. If any family deserves it, its certainly them. Congratulations to the Arena family and the best of luck with the new home - may jimmyboy rest in peace

If I didn't hear everything about it from everyone on here, I honestly could not believe it. It's amazing that they can mangage to tear down and rebuild a house in a week

I don't know what was more amazing.....that, or the fact that they crammed it all into 40-odd minutes of television, and still managed to tell the story as well as they did. Great job by all involved.

I'm beginning to regret not taping it.

I want to say THANK YOU to everyone , a great job done by all, something for everyone to be proud of, I was told by the Cast, Designers and Everyone at Alure, this was one of the best, turnouts they have ever had on a Build site. We are proud and honored as well as humbled by it. We love the House, all the emotion and Love that went into can be seen and felt,not only by us but every one that comes in and sees the house.

Hey Jim, The house looks wonderful! I was watchin it at work, hoping for no calls. In one of the commercials (I think Sears or something), they showed the back yard and a nice butterfly, but it did not appear in the episode. Can you post a few more photos on here of the stuff that didn't make the final airing?

It was so amazing how many people turned out for the weeks work! Nice job to all involved!
