Have you ever felt your house needed an indoor water slide, or a game room designed to look like a Vegas casino? Maybe you need a kitchen big enough to feed a large number of children you provide foster care for.

The folks at ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” are looking for an East Tennessee family with a house that deserves a major remodel.

Hosted by Atlanta native Ty Pennington, the show is known for performing extreme renovations on homes owned by families with compelling stories.

These have included homeowners with houses destroyed by natural disasters and families with ill or physically challenged members.

Pennington leads a crew of professionals and local volunteers who have a short period of time to completely make over the home.

A new twist for the show this season is that the family does not have to actually own a house, but they must have access to land where new construction can take place.

How to apply

Send your application or nomination to extremeeasttennesee@gmail.com. Include:

* Names and ages of all members of the household.

* A description of the challenges within the house.

* An explanation of why the family should receive the home makeover.

* Photos of the family and the home.

* A contact phone number.
