In less than 24 hours, the Suggs family will return from Walt Disney World to see their new home for the first time. Right now, crews are putting the finishing touches on the Horry County home.

Lots of people working getting ready for the big reveal day Monday. They were painting and landscaping, putting in flowers and shrubs.

Sunday afternoon, the builders, Harry Dill and Clinch Heyward of Sterling homes, handed the keys over to the design team so they can decorate the inside of the house for the family to come home Monday.

After the builders turned the keys over to the design team, it was time for the furniture to be moved in.

Volunteers formed a line to the house and passed items one to another to go inside.

There were lamps, boxes of kitchen goods and other furnishings to make this house a home for the Suggs family.

Ty Pennington, and the design team, Paige Hemmis, Ed Sanders, and John Littlefield were all ready to move that furniture in.

All of the furniture in this home came from Furnitureland South in Jamestown, NC.

Several days ago the design producers went to the store near High Point, NC to pick out every piece of furniture for the entire house.

The celebrity builder for this home is four time Nascar Sprint Cup champion Jeff Gordon.

Sunday they took some time out for some fun! He raced a mini bulldozer around the BMX track built in the backyard.

Designer Paige Hemmis waved the checkered flag for him as he crossed the finished line, and declared victory in the Extreme Makeover 500!

But, Gordon also rolled up his sleeves and did some worked. He climbed a ladder to paint the barn accent bright red, a signature color of the house.

Gordon also worked in the yard planting pansies in the flower beds, helping to prepare the home for the big Reveal Monday morning.

If you plan to head to the Reveal on Monday, it is open to the public. You will be standing for long periods of time while the reveal part of the episode is taped. Be prepared and dress for the weather.
