If there are any victims in this story, they are all the people who volunteered to work on the house and the companies that donated free labor and materials. They tried to help a family who showed their appreciation by wasting everything. The Harper family are "victims" just like those lottery winners who end up broke.LAKE CITY, Ga. - More than 1,800 people showed up to help ABC's "Extreme Makeover" team demolish a family's decrepit home and replace it with a sparkling, four-bedroom mini-mansion in 2005.
Three years later, the reality TV show's most ambitious project at the time has become the latest victim of the foreclosure crisis.
After the Harper family used the two-story home as collateral for a $450,000 loan, it's set to go to auction on the steps of the Clayton County Courthouse Aug. 5.
