At about 10:45 a.m. the family got to yell "move that bus!" and saw the house that hundreds of volunteers constructed in just eight days.

"Moving the bus and seeing the family come home, that's when it hits you that it's worth it to wait a day to make it perfect because this family deserves it," said show designer Paige Hemmis.

Details of the new home are top secret until the show airs, but we got a few clues.

"I think you could fit the old house in the kitchen of this house," said show designer Michael Moloney. "This is almost 4,000 square feet. It's a phenomenal, beautiful home, inside and out. Got a guest house, pool house out back, a 40-foot-by-17-foot swimming pool..."

And the bathrooms are apparently a bit bigger now.

"Mine and Molly's bathroom was a 4 (foot) by, like, 3 (foot) bathroom," daughter Anna Chapin said. "But now we have a really big one."

The house was supposed to be revealed on Wednesday, but problems and wet weather at the site forced the show's producers to delay the family's return.

"Rain slowed down site work, slowed down concrete," said builder Daimon Doyle. "(It) tremendously slowed down framing."

The popular show in which a new house is built in just a week has to scramble with every project, but this is only the third time in the show's history that they've needed extra time.

The Chapin's old home was made with toxic paint and insulation, which prevented the construction crew from just knocking it down like they usually do. The house had to be taken apart piece by piece.

Then, several days of wet weather put the construction effort way behind schedule. And on Monday, a fire at a nearby hotel left the show's landscapers being treated for smoke inhalation.

Hundreds of extra volunteers showed up to help and, after working through the night, the home was ready Thursday morning and the family was brought back to a crowd of cheering friends and fans.

Many people had been lined up along the street near the home since Wednesday night waiting to see the big reveal -- and catch a glimpse of popular host Ty Pennington.

The family arrived in stretch limo, and hugs, tears and laughter quickly followed when the show's large bus pulled away and unveiled what all the hard work had accomplished.

"It's kind of weird," Molly Chapin said. "It hasn't really hit me yet that everything has happened."

And how does Mom feel?

"Shock that the little yellow house that I've lived in all my life was gone and this beautiful mansion in my mind is sitting here in front of me," Connie Chapin said. "And that it's mine and I get to live the rest of my life in that."

And it's not just a new home for the Chapins. Connie found out that her family was also getting $6,000 in tuition money for her children to use at Bellevue Community College.

The episode featuring the Chapin family is expected to air in January.
