For Home and Country

The night's first premiere episode will feature Jesse and hundreds of volunteers as they surprise two families-the Merlos family and the Olivares family-with a duplex.

Special guest Ty Pennington, a highly skilled carpenter, craftsman and designer who starred in the original ABC version of the series, will team up with the EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION designers Breegan Jane, Carrie Locklyn and Darren Keefe to install a new playground for the veterans' community, design a music therapy room for the Olivares family and create a dream playroom for the Merlos' young daughters.

From Tornado to Tear Down

Premieres Sunday, March 15, at 9 p.m. ET/PT
