'Makeover' needs help

ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" demolished the Redondo Beach home of paralyzed LAPD officer Kristina Ripatti last week — and now needs construction workers to finish the rebuild before she returns from a vacation on Wednesday. The show put out an urgent call for siders, journeyman finishers, rough carpenters, finish carpenters, drywall mudders and drywall tapers. The story in the Daily Breeze gives a location for workers to show up. It's laudable that the show donated the makeover, which will give Ripatti wheelchair access and a new bedroom for live-in help. But shouldn't they have lined up the workers before they tore down her old house?
