Down to the Wire, Down to the Crews
At first, the builder's crews and subs working on the 2008 HGTV Dream Home in Islamorada, Fla., saw it as just another job. But as it began to sink in that someone was going to win this fine home, they got more psyched about being involved.
Now coming down to the wire, nobody -- not a crew member, a sub, a local supplier or an Islamorada building inspector -- wants to see this project held up.
* The electricians call builder Juan Dellanos daily asking how they can help him out.
* Subs called about an unexpected need to pull someone off another job and get them to the HGTV Dream Home that day.
* Suppliers prioritize Dream Home deliveries.
* Work teams coordinate efforts to keep from slowing down anyone else.
* Subs are bragging about having worked on the HGTV Dream Home.
"I can't say enough about the subs; they've really pulled together on this job, and my crews, too," says Juan. "Everyone thinks the HGTV Dream Home is good for this area, good for the Florida Keys. For it to be here in the first place is an honor, and for all my guys to work as hard and well as they have, I'm very proud of them."
A round of applause, please, for the HGTV Dream Home subs!
