ABC's 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' comes to Cheyenne

Wyoming Tribune - Cheyenne, WY, USA - Dan and Dawn Miller's home will be razed and replaced over the course of the next week as the first-ever "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" project in Wyoming.

The house, at 11804 E. Four Mile Road, will be demolished and replaced by volunteers and workers from Carter Brothers Construction in Cheyenne.

The ABC television network will film the entire process and air the show, officially "Episode #507," later.

According to the Carter Brothers Web site, the Millers have suffered from respiratory illnesses after being poisoned by radon since they bought the house and surrounding 20-acre property.

"The Millers' illnesses could progress into lung cancer if the radon continues to permeate their home unchecked," the Web site says. "Although the family has taken steps to eliminate the toxins, removing them entirely has proven impossible. They have been told that the home needs to be rebuilt entirely, but this is a measure that the Miller family cannot afford."
