Just saying it out loud causes most to shake their heads and mutter “impossible.”
Seven Homes in Seven Days.
When builder Sam Clifton (Millstone Custom Homes) agreed to lead the ambitious Extreme Makeover: Home Edition project (his second with EM:HE), he believed the building industry in the area would rise to the occasion and inspire continued, ongoing rebuilding efforts in Joplin.
The Joplin build will be one of the largest in the history of the wildly popular ABC Television Network program. Led by Southwest Missouri home builder Sam Clifton, president of Millstone Custom Homes, the October Joplin project built seven homes in seven days for families who suffered losses in the May tornado that destroyed much of the city. The weeklong Extreme build began on October 19. Construction was completed by the end of October 26.

Clifton is the 2010 Home Builders Association of Greater Springfield Builder Member of the Year. Millstone Custom Homes is also a member of the Home Builders Association of Southwest Missouri in Joplin. This is Clifton’s second time to lead a build for the popular ABC television program. In 2009, Millstone Custom Homes successfully led a southwest Missouri build project that provided a new home for the Hampton family in Ash Grove, Missouri.
