MyFixitUpLife talk show: Fall into Remodeling

Mark showing off at the Real Outdoor Living Wood Pavilion

Remodeling, retro-fit, renovation, restoration.  From products to process, tools to techniques, they are all branches of the home improvement tree.  We’re bringing you the best of the best from the industry’s annual summit from the Real Wood Pavilion inside The Remodeling Show/Deck Expo in Chicago, Illinois.

Theresa struggles to keep Mark from wandering off like a kid in a candy store—nay, a beaver in a lumber yard—while Bob Mion drops in to discuss the decking possibilities of California’s most popular export: Redwood.

Senior Editor of Remodeling Magazine, “Tweet Queen,” and Pedometer-Wearer-Extraordinaire Lauren Hunter pulls up a deck chair with us to talk products from the show floor…and gets a parting gift in the process! We check in with an apprentice from Silva Brothers Construction, Joe Langlais, whose mentor is none other than This Old House’s Tom Silva himself. And Mark and Theresa jealously wonder aloud if they can apply for the same apprenticeship on Monster.com.

Jonathan Sweet

Eric Dodson pops by to shoot the breeze about Therma-Tru Doors and Mark and Theresa’s maritally negotiated door replacement project on their 100-year-old house. And we get high tech with Chief Editor of Professional Remodeler magazine Jonathan Sweet as we discuss the advantages of being on a jobsite in the “tablet” age.
