When Eric Hebert of Sandpoint, ID got the unexpected call a year ago that his sister had died, leaving her twin children orphaned, he stepped up to the plate in a big way by becoming instant father to his niece and nephew. Now it's Ty and the gang's turn to step up to the plate in their extreme way by turning a rundown house into a home that will preserve the meaning of family and help rebuild lives on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
