THEY DID IT!!!!! They set a new world record by 31 seconds.
The Tyler Area Builders Association has been challenged to break the national record in home building by completely constructing a home from the ground up in less than 2 1⁄2 hours.
Two competing T.E.A.M.s (Together Everyone Achieves More) will each build a 2,160 square-foot concrete-slab home, fully landscaped and ready to move in. The homes will have 1,637 square feet of living area with three bedrooms, two baths and a two-car garage. City inspectors will be on-site to inspect each phase of the construction.
Each T.E.A.M., comprised of skilled tradesmen and volunteers, will follow a detailed and well-orchestrated plan to achieve the goal. Both will “rehearse” the process by building two practice homes prior to October 1, 2005.
