A few months ago we participated in the 2011 Ocala Home & Garden Show. It was our first time at the Ocala Home & Garden Show. We had a great time meeting everyone who came out for the event. Ricky even had a few seminars he led talking with attendees on what it’s like to build a house in 7 days and how to update their living space. Check out some of the picture below!

You’ve read that right! One of our own has joined Extreme Makeover: Home Edition! We are ecstatic to say that April accepted a position with EMHE a few months ago as a Project Manager. Throughout the Gainesville and Middleburg builds, April, time and time again, impressed EMHE with her efficiency, knowledge, experience and organization. After the Middleburg build, EMHE couldn’t handle it anymore, they HAD to have our April.

Wagstaff family chosen for Extreme Build

“EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION” LENDS A HELPING HAND TO A GAINESVILLE FAMILY WHOSE NON-PROFIT MUSIC SCHOOL UTILIZES THE ARTS TO STRENGTHEN AND INSPIRE THE COMMUNITY

“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” travels to Gainesville, Florida to meet Tobin and Jill Wagstaff, college sweethearts who started their own non-profit music school to provide services in the arts that would provide significant experiences for everyone, including those with financial limitations or disabilities. Pouring all of their time and resources into this school has left very little for the vast and necessary repairs needed to fix their rotting home. In just seven days, team leader Ty Pennington, the design team, and the Gainesville community will rebuild the home that is literally crumbling around them and give back to this family who gives so much to their community.

Growing up in Gainesville, Jill Wagstaff always noticed the huge impact the arts had on the lives of her friends and family. In college, she met Tobin, who shared her love of the arts, and they eventually married and had four beautiful children: Tobin James Jr., 7, Rudy, 6, Dallas, 5, and Larissa Jolene, 4. In 2002, the Wagstaffs started Studio Percussion, Inc., a non-profit music school and arts center specializing in the use of drums and percussion to encourage and inspire students towards community involvement and leadership development.

The family runs this organization out of their home, in the space where Dallas and Larissa Jolene currently sleep. The studio currently serves about 200 people, half of which receive financial aid or a full scholarship. The non-profit organization can only afford to pay Tobin, 29, a salary, so Jill, 32, must also work as a pre-school teacher to help pay the bills. Their utter devotion to their family, their school, and their community leaves little time and resources to tend to their home, which is in dire need of repair. The floors and rooftops are completely rotting away and the electrical system throughout the house is faulty. Now, it¹s up to the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” team and hundreds of local volunteers to build a safe, new home that will allow this family to continue to support the arts in the lives of their family and their entire community.

The Wagstaff family will go on a surprise rock and roll vacation while“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” team leader Ty Pennington, designers Didiayer Snyder, Paul DiMeo, and Eduardo Xol, local builder Ark Remodeling & Construction, Inc., and community volunteers rebuild their home.

The location address is: The Wagstaff Family 1415 NE 7th Street, Gainesville, FL 32601.

The series is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. It is Executive Produced by Anthony Dominici. David Goldberg is Chairman, Endemol North America.
