How do I get a home improvement show to pick my house?my fiance and i recently purchased a house that needs some renovation. We love watching home improvement shows on channels such as HGTV and wanted to know how they pick their project houses. We need to renovate our dining room and kitchen and would love our renovations to be one of their projects.
Does anyone know if you can contact them and submit your project or if they just rely on location scouts?
thanks!

At big box stores you can find black insulation tubes– made to insulate refrigerated air condition piping I think. I would measure the pipe length– some good idea of the diameter then get the insulation and put it on the pipe. You may need some duct tape. This is safety for you. Now, measure for the type cabinet space– go to a big box store to get the cabinet– use a jig saw to cut out the place in the shelves for the pipe.
Be sure and measure how much you need to cut out– you can use paper and make a template– or one of those metal things that give you a negative and positive of a door jamb– This is definately a DIY thing– the hardest part probably will be finding the studs the cabinet will need for attachment. Cabinets and their contents are really heavy.
good luck
I figure….there are only so many things these sorts of shows can show and about only so many ways to do them, because their audience base is your average Joe, by and large.
All comments from start to finish are significantly thumbed down except a single comment which is significantly thumbed up. I think people someone started mass-thumbing down just for fun and others joined in (myself included – it’s fun, in a retarded way, to see all comments hidden/thumbed down).
If you want to read the comments click on “view more comments” press the options option, select to view all comments. Thumb a few down while you’re at it
Hmmm too bad I can’t thumb myself down…
You can thumb up to 20 comments then you have to wait for a few minutes. (5 minutes?)
What isn’t cool is the non-spam comments marked as spam only because they’re bad comments. I hate when people do that.
how come there all thumbs down?
Well i thought i was really coll, as a dude my self, so dont put this down cuz ive not nothing aginst it
How extensive a "fixup" were you going to do? Check your lease first to see what you're allowed to do without prior written consent from the landlord. Most residential leases, at least in my market, limit tenant alterations to reasonable changes that can be easily restored to their original condition when the tenant leaves (e.g. painting, hanging shelving and pictures).
Major renovations, such as replacing cabinets, tile, appliances, must only be done with the landlord's consent. He'll be living with your choices long after you move out, so HE has the right to say no, or, if he says yes, to approve styles and materials. Also, all improvements belong to the landlord, so unless he's cut you a deal where you fix the place up in exchange for much lower rent, you're losing money on the deal.
That being said, there are plenty of things you can do to fix the place up. Paint is the easiest way to liven up the kitchen and bath. Even if you're not up to decorative painting, a good fresh coat of paint will brighten any room. For kitchen and bath, make sure to use a semi-gloss paint (there are some that are specifically for kitchens and baths)–this will hold up to the moisture, dirt and grease and be easier to clean.
Use baskets or boxes covered with cloth or contact paper to corral small or oddly-shaped items in kitchen and bathroom cabinets or shelves. Cheap and decorative way to increase storage space and keep the place looking neat.
If you need more cabinet space in the kitchen or bath, try to find old dressers, china hutches, bookcases or cabinets on Craigslist or your local freecycle–these can be cleaned, painted, and moved around to suit your space. I used an old 1940's metal dresser for years as a kitchen island/storage for pots and pans. Dressers with missing drawers make good deep shelving for large pots and baking sheets: just cut plywood to fit where the drawer bottoms would sit.
With your landlord’s permission, you can paint or reface existing cabinets. If not, you can usually cover objectionable cabinets with contact paper or starched fabric without permanent harm to the surface. (Contact paper has gotten a lot cooler–it now comes in all sorts of styles, including faux leather, faux granite, real cork, brushed aluminum and copper, etc.).
Also, you simply must check out Craftster! It’s not a home improvement site, as such, but it has every sort of craft and DIY project you can imagine, from what to do with old light bulbs to decorative painting, furniture design and complete room makeovers, in every style from classic to gothic and back again. And if you ask nicely, the members will often give you a free tutorial.
sorry cool

Any expense you put into the house is an expense as it is added to the basis of the cost of the house. The house basis is what it was worth the day that you inherited it. If you put paint roof drive kitchen or anything into the unit to improve it. then it is an expense…. I doubt that you will have to worry about it being worth more now than it was worth a year ago,, Find an appraiser that will give you a high appraisal for last year, and then sell it for less will make it a loss, and no taxes paid at all. Most property is not worth what it was last year according to so many pundits on TV.
I would suggest the following brands:
>American Woodmark at Home Depot
>Shenandoah at Lowe's
They're actually the same product from the same firm, just branded differently for the two chains. I have them in my home and have been quite satisfied with the quality. Both also have a nice selection of finishes, trims, door styles and accessories.
Good luck with your remodel.
probably $400 or so, if you want the old sink pulled out and a new installed with a garbage disposal.
That of course does NOT include the costs of the materials.
I prefer oil stain ,Two coats and usually mix whatever color that I am using (4 parts color to one part natural) with natural"clear" stain of the same brand. It seems to make the grain a little deeper. A trick an old floor refinisher showed me years ago and seems to work well.
As far as the finish. I also prefer oil polyurethane, Three coats ,sanding between #2and #3 coat. I use high gloss for my first two coats and whatever gloss is required (flat,semi,satin, or gloss) for the final coat.(The higher the gloss the more durable the finish)
Water based polly is fine for the insides of the cabinets as it is much easier to apply but tends to be a little "chalky" looking and does not hold up to cleaning solvents as well. It is great for closet built-ins , and other household furniture
Whatever you use ,take your time and be as neat as possible ,Letting each coat dry and lightly sanding with fine sandpaper between coats. Dust or vacuum constantly and use a tack cloth before coats. Your efforts will be their own reward.
Good luck.
this is funny as hell lol

(1) Kitchen more visible, more use

(3) maybe rethink fireplace, little known fact sometimes your house insurance will go up cause of a fireplace, or you might not find an insurance that will insure a house with a fireplace
