How do I become a volunteer?
First of all, thank you for wanting to volunteer. This project couldn't succeed without people like you. To sign up as a volunteer, visit the 'Get Involved' page and you'll find the sign-up form. We will be working on construction around the clock, so we need as much help as we can get! If we don't currently have any openings that fit your abilities, we may have something soon. So check the site often and we thank you in advance for your support.
May I bring my children?
Children are welcome as spectators. Please keep the weather in mind and take note that the spectator area has no seats, so children will have to stand for long periods. Because this is a construction site, children under the age of 18 are not permitted to join our volunteers. No water and food is available for spectators, but you may bring snacks. Keep in mind this is a construction site and close toed shoes are recommended for spectators.
My grandmother is a huge fan of the show. Can she come down and see all the excitement?
Fans of all ages are welcome to stop by. Please note that the spectator area is standing room only and the weather may be inclement. We are unable to allow for coolers, blankets, or lawn chairs, but you are invited to pack water and a light snack. There are no concession stands on-site.
Is it possible to get Ty's autograph?
Everyone on-site, including Ty, will be working very hard for long hours to make sure the family's home is completed in time. There may be a chance for autographs, but we cannot promise Ty or any of his team will be available while you're there.
Can I bring a sign?
Not only can you bring a sign, we encourage it! Our volunteers and construction workers deserve all the support they can get and your sign can help keep everyone energized. Just keep them positive, short, and visible from a distance.
Will I be allowed to smoke?
No. In order to keep the construction site as safe as possible, we cannot permit smoking by anyone in the area.
Will cameras and video cameras be allowed?
Of course. Bring your camera and take as many pictures as you like. You can also check out the photos we'll be posting throughout the week on this website.
If I come by on my lunch hour, can I bring food?
We do not have any concessions on-site but you are free to bring your own lunch or snack. We don't allow blankets, chairs, or coolers, so be aware that you'll likely have to eat standing up. Also, we are guests in this neighborhood, so please be sure to dispose of your trash properly.
If the weather gets bad, will spectators still be allowed?
The construction will continue, no matter the weather, and the spectator area will stay open. However, please make sure you dress appropriately and use good judgment when deciding to come by. Umbrellas are allowed, but we do not have any enclosed or covered areas for spectators.
Will there be bathrooms?
Yes. There will be portable rest areas at the site.
What happens if I lose something while I'm there?
The Registration Desk will be the area to check if you have lost an item. If you find an item, please take it to the registration desk so that it may be reunited with its owner.
Will there be paramedics for emergencies?
Yes.
If I'm not able to volunteer or visit, are there other ways I can participate?
Absolutely! If you want to get a feel for everything that's going on, you can check out the regular updates on our daily blog and photo gallery here on this website.
