Oprah Calling for Home Improvement
August 26th, 2008 | Published in repair | 3 Comments
In the world of self-help, it doesn’t get much bigger than Oprah. The media maven has the incredibly ability of taking just about any topic and making it seem fixable, from the mundane to the most inane. The Home Renovation Guide has its own stable of experts to answer your home improvement queries, but now Oprah wants to hear from you too! On Thursday, Ty Pennington, he of Trading Spaces and Extreme Makeover fame, will be on the show, answering the questions of viewers like you. In the words of one of Oprah’s production assistants:
“Do you have a home improvement question that only Ty Pennington can answer for you? Are you in the middle of a home design project and need Ty’s help to finish it? Do you have a great do-it-yourself idea that you want Ty to know about? Do you have a home improvement creation that you want to show off to Ty? Well, we have great news for you! Ty Pennington is coming to “The Oprah Winfrey Show” to help you solve all your home design dilemmas! 
If you are a HUGE Ty Pennington fan and have a question just for him, we want to know! If you’re interested and have questions/ideas/anything for Ty, please click here to submit your information!”
It sounds like a golden opportunity for home predicaments if there ever was one - Oprah, Ty Pennington and your queries. Be sure to submit your story today to make it into the Thursday taping of the show (the episode will air at a later date). And now, I just have to grab those countertop samples I’ve been debating about for my bathroom …

We live in a +50 complex and are probably one of the youngest couples here. Our property is a duplex walkout and requires a patio enslosure. We have been searching the web for ideas on materials to use and designs that will be asthetically pleasing, in a senior’s environment. We live in Alberta, where winters can be brutal, so we want some protection from the elements, including a chilling northwest wind. We have an existing cement patio with cover from the upper deck. My husband is laying a new cement pad beside the existing one, to accommodate a hot tub as we both suffer back, hip and neck pain.
We would love to hear from Ty; HELP !!!

Dear Ty or Oprah, I recently have decided to get out of an abusive relationship of 10 years. I have now been BLESSED to be in true LOVE with my best friend whom as purchased a home right next door to him for me. And I am so grateful. The problem is, while he makes sure I hsve a roof over my head along with my children, His home is falling apart(really)! Steven is a single father of 7 girls and he is truely amazing, Never complains about the things he can not change but he continues to move forward. 2010 we are getting married thier will be 10 children plus 2 grandchildren that we keep in the summer. With two house holds and no assiting for neither one of us It’s hard to maintain most of the time. My vision is too have the houses connected some type of way so we would only have one bill of everything. Ty I have seen your work, And Oprah I have watched the BLESSING that you have shared. If I had 3 wishes in my life #1 Never trade your soul for life,#2 continue to be a better mother and new mother,#3Make one home for all of us. P.S I will help in anyway. Thank you for listening and God Bless you both.
