Extreme Home Makeover

There is a crew working quite hard at preparing our house for the movie. We have spent the week at the Spa and are quite comfortable. Here are a few photos of the changes thus far. There are some before pictures to give you a bit of a context.

More on our Movie

Today we signed the contract and by Thursday, we'll be out of our house for 26 days. Combine that with our vacation out east and we'll be sleeping somewhere else for close to 50 days. They will be doing some major painting and landscaping which we are quite excited about. They need about 13 days to prep the house and shooting at our house begins on July 4th and last for 9 days. They do not shoot on the weekends.

We plan to spend a few days at the Spa, a few in Saskatoon, some at the Days Inn in town and some at Paula's folks.

This will be a wild summer.

Today many of the production folks were here looking, measuring and trying to figure out all the shots. They left us the script. Shea read it a loud for 3 hours and then Martha took it to bed.
