I haven't watched this show in awhile but caught the episode on tonight. For those who don't know, the show basically takes under-priviledged families who are living in very poor living conditions, and "make over" their house, most times just building them a new one. Its a very feel good show.

The episode on tonight featured a family of 13 living in a 900 square foot house. A single mother as well. The new house was roughly 5 times as large and had all new appliances etc.

My question is, what do you guys figure happens to the payments for the new house? This family could never be able to afford even just the electricity payments for this new mansion, let alone the taxes. Does ABC pick up the tab for all payments for lifetime? That's a pretty penny. Anyone have any knowledge on this?
