Here's a slideshow of some photos that were taken during Rich and Nancy Jaeger's block party, during which their tech makeover was revealed live, to their entire community...
The makeover reveal is just moments away! ...
Oh yeah, did I happen to mention all the cool prizes we'll be giving away at the Jaegers' high-tech makeover reveal block party today? Check 'em out...
A fun part of every makeover reveal block party is Guru Brian's Guitar Hero Face-Off -- challenge our show host and Heavy Metal Handyman with your raging riffs...and the coolest part is that the game is shown live on a Jumbotron! (What, did you think that just because the Jaegers live in a 55+ community, this party wasn't going to rock?)...
...or tech makeover nightmares? I chatted with Nancy on the morning of her big reveal...
Looks like the Techno-Gurus are in for a long night...
What are they working on? Come by the block party from noon to 4pm tomorrow (Saturday, April 26) and find out...
Congratulations to Nancy and Rich Jaeger of Middletown, Delaware, the newest stars of My Home 2.0...
I love hearing stories of people getting an instant return on their good karma, like this one, forwarded on to me from Liza, our casting director from last season...
Sure, wicker is nice...but wouldn't you rather have a high-tech home makeover? ...
Photos of the final touches on the Zaharko family's tech makeover, and the block party at which it was all revealed...
This talented, 7-person crew is into music, movies, cooking and more. They just need gear that’s as dazzling as they are!
This Delaware couple proves that "retirement" is not synonymous with "slowing down." Gurus, give this active pair the speed they need!
Three adopted Russian kids got plenty of love...just not from their tired old laptop. Now they've each got state-of-the-art spaces to study and play, and a cozy home theater for family time.
Joelle put her dance dreams on hold to help her new family's business. Now she's found a whole new groove, with a FiOS-powered home office and dance studio...and a life-changing, high-tech home health club for the boys, too!
Dad Jerry and 6-year-old daughter Julia play music together as The JBJBs. Mom Susan designs one-of-a-kind jewelry in her home studio. Thanks to a revved-up digital playground, the only limits now are their imaginations.
Christine and Jay had one TV and one computer for all nine of their kids. Now they've got a massive data center with networked PCs to handle all those school papers and projects. Oh yeah, and a drive-in movie theater...in their basement!
Dad Scott used to drive his kids to the office to download important emails. Now his real estate business comes to him in his networked home office...when he and his wife aren't too busy reliving their rock-n-roll youth 2.0-style, that is.
