Extreme Makeover: Erie misses season premiere slot

Wards react to the reveal

Clara Ward’s story won’t mark the launch of the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition season premiere.

Instead it will be the build for the Huber family of Wisconsin, which took place over a month later than the Erie build that will be featured on the two-part Season 7 opener on Sunday, September 27th. From a news release:

“Huber Family,” Parts 1 & 2 — On August 3, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” traveled to South Range, WI, to tell Howard Huber, a hero firefighter and his service minded wife, Jessica, that they will have a newly rebuilt home in seven days. Two-time Emmy Award-winning actress Patricia Heaton is the celebrity volunteer for this episode – meeting the family, helping on the build — and the music group Five for Fighting (new single “Chances,” “Superman,” “100 Years”) will perform. The two-part Season Premiere episode airs SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 (7:00-8:00 & 8:00–9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.

When Howie and Jessica met, they each felt they’d found a true partner, someone who valued hard work and community involvement. They bought a dilapidated farmhouse, figuring that Howie could fix it up within a few years, as he’d formerly worked in construction. Although they were struggling financially, Jessica, a nursing student, encouraged Howie to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a firefighter. Through long hours of hard work, and with as many as five jobs between them, the Hubers were able to both pay off their debt and see Howie established as the most popular and most decorated firefighter in town. In the meantime, both Hubers did everything they could to repair the old house that was the only home they could afford. Unfortunately, they now know that it is far beyond their ability to repair: The two story farmhouse has a chimney separating from house, improperly installed windows, severe water damage throughout, and the electrical, heat and sewage systems are unsafe. Every time Howie goes to work, he fears that the next 911 call he gets might be about his own home. Now it’s up to Ty and the gang to allay Howie’s fears and fulfill his wish to have a home that’s safe for their children.

Ok, so it may not be the first show, but by the looks of this promo, the Erie build should be hitting soon (Clara and her family are all over this piece).
