The walls are going up at the Extreme Makeover Home Edition house being built off Cane Branch Road in Horry County over the next seven days.

The foundation was poured this morning, prior to demolition, because the new house is actually being built behind the old house.  Now crews are framing the home.

At 5:00 this evening, the demolition of the old home will begin. The big surprise will be "how" they choose to tear the house down.

When EMHE built Renee Wilson's home in Horry County in 2007, they used a giant golf club to smash the old house - a tribute to Myrtle Beach being known as the golf capitol of the world.

NewsChannel 15's Allyson Floyd will be live from the demolition tonight on NewsChannel 15 at 6 and 7.

The Suggs family is in Disney World while their new home is being built. You can read background on their story here.

They'll arrive back around 12:30 Monday afternoon, when Ty Pennington, the show's host, will yell "Move That Bus!" and the family will see their new home for the first time.

The builders and volunteers will construct the home in about 106 hours.
