Do you know someone who is extremely inventive in home repairs?
Currently HGTV Canada is putting together a special featuring someone who is "more MacGyver than Mike Holmes," according to Carina Oueis a Public Relations Assistant.
Looking to encompass all of Canada HGTV is on a nationwide search for the new series which is currently hosting a casting call.
"We are trying to reach the smaller communities in Canada" Oueis explained.
"We're on a Canada-wide homeowner hunt to uncover the strangest, wackiest, most extreme solutions to home repairs ever seen and would love to come to Carlyle!"
The show, which will be hosted by Steve Patterson of the CBC Radio's The Debaters focuses on home owners who have unique fixes for their household needs.
"The series will be a celebration of the completely unique and utterly outside the box approach to home maintenance and we're looking for homeowners with an eccentric, unconventional, 'kooky' approach to home repairs," Oueis stated.
Producers decided to feature the show as a way to bring people's ideas of home improvements to those around the country.
"Our goal is to uncover great characters with a bizarre sense of home 'improvement,'" Tim Alp, Executive Producer, stated. "We are looking for houses filled with jerry-rigged solutions that are at complete odds with main stream expectations."
If interested in making a nomination of an individual a submission can be sent to [email protected].
To include in the submission is the story behind each odd home improvement along with photos of the eccentric repairs. Also needed is a photo of you and a photo of the person being nominated, as well as your contact information.
These creative fixers will, if chosen, in turn have their jerry-rigged solutions fixed for free.
"As part of the special we'll come in with our team of experts and renovate the space" Oueis said.
