When they come back, they should be returning to a rebuilt house. At 8 a.m., the crew from the TV show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" showed up at the home of Doreen and Kenny Silva and their five children. The family was informed that it would be going to Disney World for a week. The Silvas have two biological children, both of whom have autism, and three adopted children, who also have special needs. Kenny Silva works for Warwick’s sanitation department. Work on the project is expected to begin on Wednesday and be completed on Sunday. Oldport Homes of Portsmouth is the primary builder on the job, although numerous companies and volunteers are also participating. -- Journal staff writer Bryan Rourke Posted by Andrea Panciera CommentsBruce Ryerson | February 19, 2008 8:47 AM link This is very great in little Warwick.

I hope the fame and publicity for Oldport Homes doesn't sidetrack them too much from the Bay Ridge condo project they have going on here in Middletown.
And I wish the Silvas the best all worlds with their new home!
