COLORADO SPRINGS (July 10, 2005) - Today Billy Jack and Anne Barrett had their lives changed forever when ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" came knocking on their door. The Barrett's have always faced challenges head-on, first as renowned horse gentlers and now as heads of an extended family that includes their two biological and four adopted children.

By using the same parenting techniques of love, patience and discipline that have worked so well in their equine business - Dusty, Daphne, AJ and Jennifer have become healthy and productive members of the Barrett family. But with six growing pre-teen and teenagers, including biological daughters Clara and Rebecca their small house is literally busting at the seams. "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and Keller Homes, have joined forces to build their dream home with enough space for everyone in one remarkable week.

The "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" design team, Keller Homes and a crew of 2000 plus skilled subcontractors and volunteers will build a classic, contemporary Colorado farmhouse in just one week.

"We're going to build a home that reflects the heritage and sensibilities of the Colorado prairie - a solid, practical, timeless home with as much warmth, heart and character as the family who has come together to share it," says Dave Keller, President and CEO of Keller Homes.

One of the highest rated series on ABC, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. David Goldberg is the president of Endemol USA. The series is executive-produced by Tom Forman. The show airs Sundays (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Keller Homes was founded in Colorado Springs in 1983. It is still a privately held company with over 75 professionals on staff, building a few hundred homes each year. As an independent, private company, Keller prides itself on being more nimble, more innovative, and more service-driven than other larger, corporately owned builders. In a recent survey, Keller ranked among the top ten builders nationwide in customer satisfaction.
