I...I don't blame you for feeling "snarky.<br /><br />I don't understand either why HGTV USA and the DIY network can't be honest & state something straight forward whether they will or won't air the new shows.<br /><br />Typical corporate behavior. Bombard the customer with advertising but when it comes to provide some meaningful information to a simple questions... that seems to be beyond their ability.<br /><br />As far as Mike comments from Facebook are concerned, I have my doubts that he posted that. It was probably put there by some flunky from his office.<br /><br />Mike spends more time travelling, promoting his activities ( he'll be in Germany for the Skills world competition), giving speeches, and on and on. <br /><br />The only time he's really one on one is when he's doing an on-line chat which happens a couple of time a year.<br /><br />That first new show yesterday was a real tear jerker (a nice birthday present for my 81st).<br /><br />It revolves around a Filippina single mother with 3 boys, one of them collapsed & died while playing football on he school team.<br /><br />The mother had an ongoing problem with water in her basement & the coach of the football team, who was also their shop teacher, decided, alonmg with the entire team, to help fix the problem. They pretty soon realized that to fix the problem was way beyond their ability & the coach approached Mike.<br /><br />When Mike agreed on condition that the coach & the team would volunteer to help (part of Mike's aim to get young people involved with the construction trades).<br /><br />The problems they found went way beyond just a bad water leak. This turned into a full fledged house reno. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation etc. The total bill came to about $ 150000.00<br /><br />This was a great show to start the season with.<br /><br />If there was a way of getting it to you I would tape it & send it to you.<br /><br />I tried to copy/paste the link to the video shown on HGTV here but my curser disappeard from my screen. I guess they thought somebody might try it.<br /><br />Jundee <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587948499497941945.post-46024534764790024562013-04-17T10:32:14.604-07:002013-04-17T10:32:14.604-07:00Despite the snarkiness...thanks for the daily dose...Despite the snarkiness...thanks for the daily dose of Canada's and apparently th US's favorite handyman.
