The “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” team went in for the ultimate takedown when they paid a visit to the Lampe family in Louisville, Kentucky. Once a self-sustained tree service, the family business has been hit hard by a series of injuries forcing the family to slow their pace, and turn away work. Rough terrains and deadly heights are just part of the physical dangers that face Jeff Lampe daily. Despite the persistent pain and the lack of health insurance, Jeff powers through each day in an effort to keep the family afloat. The proud father of six and his wife Shelley have not allowed their circumstances to get them down. The Lampes continue to serve their community by affording local teens the opportunity to learn more about wrestling.
The wilderness is the Lampes playground. Nature expeditions, rope swings, and fishing are matched only by their love of wrestling. Having converted their garage into a make-shift wrestling gym, the family is beloved by their community for training and mentoring kids in an effort to help them find their direction and in some cases further their interest in the sport. Now the house is in desperate need of attention. The foundation is splitting, the wiring is old, and the Lampe children are outgrowing their space. Their youngest daughter Angela has Down Syndrome, and could use a safe haven where Jeff and Shelley can give her the freedom to play in a place all her own. Now it’s time that the family stops worrying about their circumstances so that they can reignite that sense of adventure they hold so near and dear to their heart. It’s time for the”Extreme Team” to deliver a SMACKDOWN to this old dilapidated house in this extreme “tough guy” episode.
