Thursday night will be the first night Renee Wilson and her four grandchildren spend in their new "Extreme Makeover" home: a house nearly eight times bigger than the trailer the family shared for more than two years.
Renee Wilson took in her grandchildren - Hakeem, 10; Timothy, 8; R.J., 7; and Erica, 5 - about three years ago. Wilson's daughter had abandoned the children, and Wilson didn't want them to be placed in foster care. The family had been sharing a two-bedroom mobile home with a sagging roof, bad wiring, leaks, plastic-covered windows secured with duct tape and an outdoor shed. Meet the family
