The reality show built one here locally and it's a behemoth in the neighborhood.

The rest of the houses are typically the size of the smaller one to the right.
The whole event is an example of organized chaos.

Many of the neighbors were offered a week-long stay in an upscale hotel.
City cops were paid overtime to keep the area guarded at all hours.

RV's were "loaned" to the many work-people involved.
Huge tractors & bulldozers and vans sat atop lawns and driveways.

Barricades protected the work site from the spectators. Tour buses brought people to visit the site from the nearby shopping mall

Some declined the hotel offer & stayed to witness the transformation.

What would you have done? Stay or go?
