CUSTOM ITEMS Dynasty Profiles donates fence materials to "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" project for a caring Charlotte, N.C. family CHARLOTTE, N.C. – When Dy- nasty Profiles learned that a customer, WamBam Fence, was supplying a vinyl fence for the popular ABC TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edi- tion, Dynasty owner Harold Brandan immediately decided to contribute. "This show builds homes for de- serving families in need, so I was happy to help donate to the project," said Brandan. When the company responsible for the Extreme Makeover build ap- proached WamBam Fence for fencing materials, they were honored to be a part of the project. The home required almost 400 lin- eal feet of vinyl privacy fence and six gates, so it was no small project. how to operate everything in their new home. "I have to admit that what they raved most about was their fence. Be- cause of all the new children coming through their home, they were ex- tremely happy to have a fence to keep them off the neighbor's property," Brandan said. Dynasty Profiles is a leading man- "We were excited to be a part of this opportunity, and when we shared the good news with Dynasty Profiles, they offered to donate half the materi- als," said Denise Esser, one of the founders and owners of WamBam Fence. WamBam Fence manufactures a do-it-yourself fence system for home- owners and does not offer installation services, so a team of 15 volunteers stepped up to install the fence. The project was completed in a day. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition that provides new homes for deserving families who have given much to the community. The Friday family was chosen for this build in the greater Charlotte area. The Fridays have fostered more than 30 children, and last Spring they fostered a boy who showed them a video of his four siblings, all split up by the system. Declaring that a family should never be split up, the Fridays adopted all five children. Because their home was too small, the Fridays were forced to convert their carport into bedrooms to make space for the children. This is when Extreme Makeover: Home Edition stepped in. With the help of an army of volunteers, the Friday's existing home was demolished and a new one was built in less than a week. The show will air in December of 2012 as a Christmas special. After the build was complete, the builder met with the family to go over ufacturer of vinyl extrusions, pre-fab- ricated panels and vinyl accessories.
