With seven children and another one on the way, the Swenson-Lee Family quickly outgrew their three bedroom home. In just seven days, Ty and the Design Team built a 5,600 square foot, 7 Bedroom, 5 Bathroom home for this deserving family. Eight families from previous seasons also appeared to help out.

So, just how do you build a 5,600-square-foot custom home, landscaped and completely furnished, in only six days' time? You need a working schedule that breaks down the job hour-by-hour and a team of building partners that can stick to that pace or exceed it.
In the case of the Swenson-Lee home in Minnetonka, TJB and its 200-plus crew of contractors and subcontractors went beyond expectations. "Extreme Makeover" producers had asked that the house, the biggest in the show's history, be built in 106 hours. "It was a very scary goal," Budzynski said Tuesday.
But he turned the keys to the house over to the design team on Monday afternoon, after 99 hours of construction labor.
