Heather and I almost got on an HGTV special based on our Buckaneer Bathroom – We were pushing the Monkey Hut (the show was about DIYers) but we got bumped.

The producer: There’s too much tiki in production right now.

Harumph!

I emailed the guy and got a reply. Oddly, in the reply was the actual show detail request which should have been in his TC post. It was much more clear. They are looking for homes, yards, dog houses, etc. that are done by normal home owners, not contracted out, that have the “Wow” factor. He said they were already planning on shooting in the Knoxville area and so my place had a good chance of getting on the show. I am quizing my friends for other DIY over the top home projects they can shoot while here. HGTV is based in Knoxville, but the shows are produced all over the place and only a few, like Shadetree Mechanic are actually done here.

Whenever I see requests like this from TV crew (which I’ve gotten a few of over the years) I always pass the info along saying something like “I’m just passing this guy’s info along; It’s up to everyone personally to decide whether or not this is real, serious, and if the pros outweigh the cons.”
