Most anyone would give up a hope chest – even a handmade one – if it meant getting a new house, but the Sharrock family of Rossville is hoping they don’t have to.
A few weeks after moving into their new house, built by the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” crew and Vision Homes, Michael, Cindy and Patrick Sharrock noticed they hadn’t seen a pine hope chest that Michael built by hand.
“There’s no telling where it might have gone,” he said.
Sharrock said he built the chest for his stepdaughter when she was 9. She now is 20 and living with other family members.
