David Duchovny is a guest on 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition'

The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition build in Lena is ahead of schedule thanks to the great weather. The new house is up and local volunteer construction crews are installing drywall, painting and beginning the landscaping work. The cast of the show continues to be hands-on and the production crews are capturing it all on camera. The Stott family returns from their California vacation on Wednesday. Actor David Duchovny is flying in to help with the build during the last few days of work. He will be the show's celebrity guest.

A bone marrow registration drive is being held at the build site. A bone marrow transplant is what saved Joey Stott from her battle with leukemia. The Extreme Makeover crew flew in her donor to help with the build.

“I was glad to provide a small part of changing her life five years ago. I'm hoping to contribute just a little bit more to her back on her feet,” says Joey Stott's bone marrow donor Tom Wihelm.

He was there with the cast of Extreme Makeover to surprise the Stott family on the first day. One of the stars of the show, Paige Hemmis says their introduction will be featured when the episode airs this fall.

“It's the first time they actually met and there was not a dry eye in the house. To see someone who gave so much of themselves to save another person's life is truly amazing,” says Hemmis.

The couple responsible for getting the Stott family on the show is also at the build site helping out.

Robert Winter and Nikita Ernst met Joey Stott at Highland Community College and they became fast friends. They say she inspires them because she never gave-up on earning her degree or hesitated to help others, even after battling leukemia and losing her home in a fire.

“She does everything and she doesn't ask for help. She doesn't ask for recognition. She just works so hard,” says Ernst.

They say Joey had no idea they wrote the letter three months ago.
