My Extreme Nights blog is coming to an end … I know you are sad. I am finishing up my 7th and final overnight shift for the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition build.

Let me explain … It is a cool feeling when you are driving up Robinson Road and you see the glow of the lights. You just get an excited feeling that something awesome is happening. I think it is that excitement that makes this show so popular. I wanted everyone to experience it, so I used my...
