"You can still see the features of the home. You can see and feel the family in the home. So this is one of the most exciting stages for me because you know it's just a couple of days away from being complete," said Jillian Harris, former Bachelorette and one of the show's designers.

As Day Four gets underway, cast members walk around and greet fans anxious to meet the show's celebrities.

"I've been in this industry for a couple of years now. But I still don't really understand it except for the fact that I'm more or less excited to meet the people of Wichita. That's what I love about my job," said Harris.

This is the last home the Extreme Makeover crew will work on before the end of the season.

"It's been a long season but we're so blessed. We all feel that this is an incredible family that we're here to help on our final episode," said George Verschoor, executive producer.

Plenty of movement around the site on Sunday and crews said they were ahead of schedule. One of the many things in store for the family's new home is greater accessibility.

"A big thing we're doing for the Hall family is trying to give Carl Hall independence again. Trying to give this whole family a sense of independence. Part of the design we're doing in this home is a lot of technology to help him do that," said Verschoor.

Designers need some decoration items for the home like new/used high heels (sizes 6-8), new/used books, and new/used workable laptops and desktops. They can be dropped off at the site.

Concrete flat, cabinet, and trim workers are needed for Monday.
