Work is well under way to build a new home for a Trumbull Village family as part of the ABC-TV show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."

Thursday was razing day. Today, (Friday) up go the building frames. That work is expected to start about 10 a.m. Workers are slightly behind scheduled because of the cold weather, which delayed the concrete slabs from drying. The concrete was poured early this morning.
According to the National Weather Service, the morning low at the Albuquerque airport was 17 degrees at about 4 a.m.
Because it's a construction site, the area is blocked off to vehicle and foot traffic. But spectators are being shuttled to the site for free.

They are advised to park at Expo New Mexico (the fairgrounds), Gate 8. A shuttle service will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., taking spectators to the set from there.

Be forewarned: there are temporary restrooms, but no food or water, on the set.
Saturday and Sunday, spectator parking will be shifted to a lot at San Pedro and Marquette, organizers said.

The TV program is helping the family of the Rev. Gerald Martinez, who runs a ministry in a Trumbull neighborhood.
The show is working on the project with Atreus Homes and Communities.
