This is the Yazzie Family's house. It is essentially two connected hogans. It was built by the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" TV team and various contractors. The program is produced by ABC TV network, which is owned by The Walt Disney Company. Read the latest blog entries for the details.
When contractors installed the plumbing, these pipes were not insulated. Consequently, they froze and burst the first winter, flooding the crawlspace. They were finally insulated when the pipes were replaced.
The original cork flooring, shown here, soon began to warp and peel. Cork is a bad idea in the high desert. ABC eventually sent new flooring of a different type - but no one to install it.
The decorative veneer for this support beam is pulling away from the wall. It is much worse now than it was when this photo was made.
The greywater irrigation system installed by ABC to water the landscaping and keep it alive malfunctioned. A leak in the system resulted in a smelly cesspool in the front yard. That, in turn led to an eroded drainage path across the drive.
Greywater is sewage water from the kitchen sink, lavatory, shower/bathtub, dishwasher, and clothes washer. It contains no human waste.Read the story in the four blog entries below and please consider joining SENAA International in persuading Disney, ABC, and Lock & Key Productions to do the right thing and make the necessary repairs to the Yazzie house, so they can finally call it home.
