Great renovations
April 17, 2008
People who are renovating their homes, or planning to do so, may be featured on a new HGTV reality series that will air this fall.
“My Big Amazing Renovation” is the brainchild of Denver-based High Noon Entertainment. The production company sent out a release saying it’s coming to Baltimore and surrounding areas to film homeowners who are transforming their homes into their dream homes.
In particular, the company wants to hear from homeowners who are:
• Just starting a major renovation;
• Doubling the size of their house;
• Transforming the original space, including the kitchen;
• Planning several unique design projects;
• Updating the exterior of their home;
• Equipped with a set budget and time frame for the completion of the renovation; and
• Passionate about their renovation and eager to share the experience with others.
“The Baltimore-Washington area is on the top of our list,” said Cindy Baggish, a producer with High Noon Entertainment. “It’s just a wonderful part of the country, and a colorful place to be.”
Also, Baggish acknowledged, she’s a Baltimore native — born at Johns Hopkins Hospital — and has relatives in the area that she would love to visit as filming is going on.
The program will begin airing on HGTV sometime in the fall, and the Baltimore-Washington segment — part of the program’s second season — will be televised around the end of 2008 and into 2009, Baggish said.
So if you’re one of the homeowners who fit the above criteria, Baggish would love to hear from you. To be considered, contact her by email or call her at 303-712-3093. You can also go to High Noon’s Web site.

December 19, 2007
When I visited Chicago last month, my colleague and I noticed reports of theft of stainless-steel appliances from residential construction sites. My colleague shared that in his hometown of New Orleans, residents often complain of copper pipe thefts from home sites under construction.
Turns out the theft of this valuable metal doesn’t always happen so far from home.
Patuxent Square, a new commercial/residential development in North Laurel, Md., is hiring a night watchman after $10,000 of copper pipe fittings were ripped off at its construction site, the HoCo Times reported last week.
And the Patuxent Square development is just one of many. According to the story, the Howard County Police say copper thefts from county construction sites tripled in October (14 reports) and November (13 reports). At scrap dealers, copper yields about $3.20 per pound.
