Extreme Makeover Home - Yazzie Family

**NorthofAda** · 10-08-2007, 05:15 PM

I know there was a thread on here started back when this home was built, in April of this year, but I can't find it. Anyways...

"ABC-TV Extreme Makeover Home Edition episode shot at Pinon, AZ in April 2007 will air Sunday, October 21st at 8 PM. See this unique 100% 'green' hogan! The Yazzie hogan home is a sustainable and modern version of the traditional Navajo hogan constructed by designed by Foster Architects and constructed by Home Life Communities along with hundreds of volunteers from all over the US and Navajo Nation."

So, program your DVRs or watch it in realtime - should be a good one!

Well, if anybody finds out the air time for this episode, let everyone know.

This next one is the "Brown Family", whoever they are.

The Yazzie Family EMH episode is now scheduled to air at 10/9c on Sun Oct 28.

"A family that has lived without heat, water and electricity will have its home on the reservation rebuilt with modern "green" amenities."

I had mixed feelings. It made me happy to see the Yazzie's get such a nice home, but it made me sad to think that anybody in the US should have living conditions like they did before the makeover.

There is so much wealth in this country, but so much is concentrated in the hands of a relative few. Contrast the Extreme Makeover Home program with, say, My Super Sweet 16, where families spend 10's of thousands on a party for some spoiled brat.

Why can't more people be helped like the Yazzies were?

Nobody should have to live without running water, an inside bathroom or safe heating and cooling, unless they choose to live that way.

I missed this one (well actually the DVR recorded it, I just haven't had time to watch it yet).

I spent the first 12 years of my life living with my Grandparents - no electricity (wasn't any available in that area until just after Dad moved the family to the city), water was a pump handle and th
