The hit ABC show "Extreme Makeover, Home Edition" announced Monday August 3rd 2009 that the Huber Family of South Range will have a newly rebuilt home in seven days!  Howard Huber, a local hero firefighter and his service minded wife Jessica, and family got the news at 10AM when the show's design team pulled up to their house.

Howie and Jessica each felt they'd found a true partner when they met. Someone who valued hard work and community involvement. They bought a dilapidated farmhouse, figuring that Howie could fix it up within a few years, as he used to work in construction.

Although they were struggling financially, Jessica, a nursing student, encouraged Howie to pursue his lifelong dream of being a firefighter. Through long hours of hard work, and as many as five jobs between them, the Hubers were able to both pay off their debt and see Howie established as the most popular and most decorated firefighter in town.

They did everything they could do to repair the old house that was the only home they could afford. Unfortunately, they now know that it is far beyond their ability. The two story farmhouse has a chimney separating from house, improperly installed windows and severe water damage throughout. The electrical, heat, and sewage systems are unsafe. Every time Howie goes to work he fears that the next 911 call he intercepts might be about his own home.

Ty and the gang will fulfill Howie's wish to live in a home that is safe for their children, Henry and Rosie.
