SNELLVILLE, Ga. -

Construction crews are making astounding progress on the addition for Aimee Copeland.

The 24-year-old University of West Georgia graduate student has lost her left leg, right foot and both hands to flesh-eating bacteria. She contracted the bacteria after cutting her calf in a zip lining accident on May 1.

On Monday, FOX 5 showed you the urgency as two dozen people worked on the Pulte Homes project at the same time.

New pictures show that the siding is already up on the outside and windows are in place.

Inside, the drywall is ready for painting in the large rehab room with the cathedral ceiling and the space is prepared for the elevator that will help Aimee navigate her new home.
