What a heartfelt show...

I can't believe those few people who don't like this show. Maybe I'm going a little off kilter here, but do you not have a heart? This show is filled with so much emotion and love, it's amazing. It's a breath of fresh air to watch such a show. Every carpenter (INCLUDING Ty Pennington) works their butts off, and they only do it for one purpose: to make a family a family again. If you don't like this show, I'd really reconsider watching it again, and even tuning in to this show on Monday nights to see how they did everything. And if you've never seen this show, then you don't know what you're missing! I love to see the family's reactions when they first see their house, and I love seeing them walk into their new house. I don't think there's an episode that I've watched yet that doesn't make me cry. I love this show.
