Crews from TRC Work on Extreme Home Makeover
This past month, TRC was invited and three crew members volunteered their time to help on ABC's Extreme Home Makeover.  Our Demolition Team removed appliances, electronics and mercury containing items from the St. Paul home before it was razed for new construction.

The Morris Family operates an in-home daycare, but their 100 year old home needed numerous expensive repairs that threatened the business. The new home is a safe place for the children who are cared for there. Keep an eye out for the episode's premier on ABC.
