This is a big one! Lots of Photos!
TUESDAY, AUG. 19, 8:15 PM - Today was extremely busy. There was a lot happening behind the scenes and inside the house that unfortunately we aren’t able to take pictures of. The TV producers prefer we not take any interior pictures so that everyone will watch with excitement when the show airs on TV this fall (date to be determined).
Today and yesterday all of the following took place to keep us on schedule to “Move That Bus” on Thursday at 2pm (be there early!).
Hang drywall, float drywall, measure for closet systems, install house fans, power up house, cut out and form drive ways, prime house, paint ceilings and closets, roll out interior paint colors, measure window blinds, start tile work, install interior cabinets, install tile shower, measure for counters, set interior doors, landscape, install wallpaper, design lighting, install HVAC, install electrical trim, plant bed prep, install landscape lighting, mulch, paint exterior columns, shutters, install retaining wall, install plumbing fixtures, install appliances and measure for mirrors & shower enclosures. Whew!
We have been very fortunate that the weather has cooperated for us. Nowhere near the heat and humidity we are accustomed to this time of year. While it rained in Little Rock most of the day, Bigelow had partly cloudly skies and no rain, allowing our landscapers to do a beautiful job. (See photos below)

Just beautiful! Thank you for doing this for the McCulley’s. I just know them from their caringbridge site…they are so deserving.
Debbie said:
Thank you EMHE for what you are doing for the McCullys. There could not be a more deserving family. We have known them for many years and they have always been an inspiration to so many people.
When Job was at his lowest last fall, Tina was comforting everyone else. Their rock solid faith has been beyond description.
I can just see Tina writing a book to help give faith and comfort to people who are going through hard trials. You have helped to bring joy into their lives and we are so thankful for it. Can’t wait to help tell that bus to move!
Jamie said:

Oh my gosh! I cannot believe how much has been done since I was there Sunday! I am getting so excited to see the family come “home” to a wonderful new, healthy house.
Joanne said:
When will Job and his family be back from their trip? Many thanks for this wonderful home you are building. It is beautiful. Wish I could have been there to help. This is a deserving family. They are wonderful people. I thank our LORD for each of these many blessings.

God is wonderful and so are all of the volunteers and crew for making this happen for the McCully family. I am just amazed how God keeps sending His blessings. I am so happy for Job and his family. They DO deserve this wonderful gift!

It is just like Christmas, I can’t hardly wait till we say move that bus. Hey Jack come on with some more of those photos, I just love to see what all is going on. I wish it was where I could have helped. All I could do was pray, (along with others) and that I did from the get-go. And I see the results of it right before my eyes. Rob McCulley was my pastor at one time, we have been through thick and thin. If the world was full of people like the McCulley’s it surely would be a different place. Gods blessings on you all

I shutter to think what wonderful work has been contributed to this family! There are no words to describe this magnificent humanitarian contribution to such a deserving family and it’s practically in my own back yard. Kudos to all that help to make this happen!
Donna said:
We are so happy for the McCully family. They have been through so much. But they have allowed the journey of Job’s illness to be public so that they could share how God works in their lives and stregthens them daily. They have been such an inspiration to my family and our community. God continues to show us so many miracles through Job and his family’s faith and devotion.

I just have to say…Extreme Makeover picked the Best Builder in Arkansas to build this wonderful home for the McCully family. My husband and I have had the pleasure of knowing Jack Wilson for years as a friend and as a mentor. We have been SO blessed to be able to be a part of this great gift to this family.
Peggy said:
Unable to be there for the big “Move That Bus” celebration but looking forward to seeing it on TV. I’m so proud for the McCully family, they are truly deserving and it couldn’t happen to a nicer family.

This family is a wonderful and great family I have been to church with them and not matter what happens their faith stays strong and as I have said before and will say again I wish I had faith as good as theirs.
They have impacted many people with the things they do and I thank God for people like them we love you McCully family from the Phillips family. Thank you extreme makeover for doing this great deed and God thanks you.
Arma said:
I don’t know the McCully’s Family personaly. But, I have heard about them and some of thier hardships that they have had to endure.
I thank God that there are truly people who really care about helping others. The Extreme Make Over Family and the House that Jack Built Family. I would like to say thanks to everyone that had a helping hand, in making this “Dream Come True”. This family life will be made so much better from the love that many gave.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

It was a heart wrenching experience for me . God bless all the members of the Extreme Makeover crew and give them the strenght to continue what it is that they do so well. Job, I truly hope you and your family have a wonderful life building memories in your new home, God bless you and you will always be in my prayers.

Man oh man…. I cannot believe it… You channel flop every day and see people touched so many times until it is a family so close to your own! Over and over I have had the McCully family in my thoughts and prayers through my lil cousin (lando) who lives with me and my aunt (florence) always mentioning the situation… You never understand how good your life and everyday walk is until you have heard of this!!! When I heard about the Extreme makeover, it was very touching!!! This is just what the family needed to forget about the situation at hand that they are dealt with. I see the website, see the joy JOB has spread, the hope and faith that he has given many of people and think “if I were that strong, who would i be, the world’s strongest stongman? No not me, but he is..” (have you even considered that being a reader of this how strong this boy really is??? It is not just him, it has to do with alot of thanks to his father, the Lord Jesus Christ (who has given him the strength and endurance). I see the joy Job has spread, the friends he has gained and he will meet one day with the Lord as we all will and will be thanked for being the boy, youngman, deciple, believer, and saint that he IS!! If I were half as strong as Job I would be the worlds strongest stongman, NO DOUBT!!! So you can only imagine what he has endured all of the things he has…!!! I applaud, stand up tall and salute him (from the bottom of a true Military Man) for hanging tough and knowing that there is a tomorrow and he will se it. I have only followed his progress through my aunt flo, but he looks, sounds, and seems stronger than anyone could ever imagine…. The Extreme makeover is a very touching show with great directors, volunteers, and so very compassionate people, that may never get mentioned, who sees who deserves the best! They have definantly touched my heart seeing what they have done and God bless them for touching a family members’ near and dear friend and family’s heart!!!!!! May Extreme Makeover and crew bless many more family’s and friends of other people!
Good night and God Bless!!!
