Hometime...yet again (ver. 2009)...
The
Hometime episode we were involved with last year is
being re-broadcast over the next several weeks,
beginning this past Saturday (01-24-09). Locally it
will be shown on Saturday. February 14, 2009 at 5:30
pm (TPT, channel 2).
What a terrific opportunity this has been for us and
I am thankful for being so fortunate. We have met
many people and we had a blast being involved.
One of the more interesting aspects for me was the
challenge from an operational standpoint. Extremely
tight (and rigid) deadlines and having to essentially
close the shop for two days to conduct filming. If I
remember right, it was six, 18-hour days in a row.
There was a flub or two (or three) along the way, but
nothing that couldn't be fixed (or reprinted).
The web traffic has been significantly heavier this
year. I think it is because Hometime has a much
better schedule this year on PBS (they typically
block it right before "This Old House") and the
search engines have had a full year to digest and
sort relevant inquiries, consequently the search
listings are more favorable.
For those so inclined to see the episode, here is the
segment:
