Zap2it: What drew you to "Building Wild"?
Paul Dimeo: I came off 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,' and there we were building homes. And the story behind 'Extreme' was always we would send our families away. They would go to Disneyland. ... And when these families would come back -- and over a decade I heard this -- the families would come back and say, 'Jeez, we really wish we were here.' And they were really, truly missing the best part of it. They're missing an entire community coming together to build them this house. They're away, so they have no idea who's doing what.
So when George (Verschoor, the show runner) and I were talking about what were some of the great things you could take away from that, well the fact that you could have your client working with us, meeting everybody and having their friends come.
