The wait is over.

A national television audience will get to see a new home in Ottawa on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”

The two-hour show will air at 7 p.m. Friday on ABC.

Tom Weigand, president of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber recently was notified by ABC representatives about the airing, and there’s been a lot of excitement in the community.

“A lot of people are interested,” Weigand said. “I was amazed at the following.”

Local volunteer crews feverishly worked in the hot August sun during a two-day build in Ottawa for the family of Staff Sgt. Allen Hill, who was injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq.

The new home includes special accommodations for Hill and his wife and two sons, including extensive sound-proofing, because Hill suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Weigand said the build was a big boost to Ottawa, and he said ABC and the volunteer crews were a pleasure to work with.

“Really a great deal,” he said.
