The Mosley Home, Before

Shortly after adopting three of her children, Jessica's father's sudden and unexpected death rattled the new family. When the VA loan obtained to help the family purchase their home was unable to transfer to Jessica's name, she and her children moved back to live with her mom, Pam. The 3 bedroom/1.5 bathroom home built in 1962 required the family of seven to adapt and co-exist in a 1,415 square foot space with just one shower.

The Team

The Kern County community showed up in droves to help the Mosley family. Host Jesse Tyler Ferguson leads the charge, heading to surprise the family at their home. He's joined by designers Darren Keefe, Carrie Locklyn, and Breegan Jane, local builder John Balfanz Homes, and hundreds of volunteers who committed to helping during the 5-day build in Bakersfield.

The Demolition

Once emptied, twin excavators – lovingly named Carol and Patricia – demolish the Mosley family's old house. Builder Greg Balfanz of John Balfanz Homes and host Jesse Tyler Ferguson supervise on Day 1 as the team takes necessary steps to double the size of this home. After clearing the debris, the construction crew pours the new foundation, and resurfaces the backyard swimming pool.
