Town was instrumental  throughout the project serving as a primary volunteer in the week-long  construction effort.<\/p>\n<p>Owner of Town Mechanical, Inc. based in  Baldwinsville, New York and recognized locally at speedways around the  Central New York circuit, Town was chosen to provide work for a home in  need of vast repairs. Town Mechanical has worked often in the past with  Mahoney Design &amp; Build, the firm that oversaw the makeover of the  150 year-old house owned by Tim and Michelle Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Town joined  his staff of nearly two dozen on-site for seven straight days performing  the required tasks in the departments of plumbing, heating and air  conditioning, which TMI is known for around the area. Town, who sponsors  the Sportsman Championship race at the New York State Fairgrounds in  Syracuse during Super DIRT Week in October, previously worked for over  20 years at Cayuga County Fair Speedway on the grounds of DIRTcar  NorthEast headquarters in Weedsport, New York.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming TV  episode features the Hills, along with their three children, who had  their 3,200 square-feet home &#8212;along with a 2,800 square-feet barn that  was converted into an \u2018extreme gym\u2019 for Tim&#8212; rebuilt and renovated  over the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Hill, 45, was an aspiring boxer whose career  was cut short after he broke his back working on a construction project.  He works today devoting countless hours as a youth counselor for the  Council of Alcohol and Chemical Dependency, training underprivileged  youths to box on a team that he created out-of-pocket a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p><em>Headquartered  in Roanoke, Va., Advance Auto Parts, a leading automotive aftermarket  retailer of parts, accessories, batteries, and maintenance items in the  United States, serves both the do-it-yourself and professional installer  markets As of April 19, 2008, the Company operated 3,291 stores in 40  states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
