The #WalkThrew: Is it really a house trend or just hype? episodes

  • Do DIY TV hosts build anything at their own home? Let's talk!
    What do DIY TV hosts build at their own homes? We ask This Old House and Ask This Old House’s Kevin O’Connor what he DIYs when he’s not on TV with Tom Silva, Norm Abram, Rich Trethewey, and Roger Cook.
    Starting out as a guest on Ask This Old House, Kevin became host of the both shows and works side-by-side with “Tommy and the guys". He’s  seen first hand what it takes to bring a This Old House project to life. From urban remodels to country homes, plumbing nightmares to luscious landscapes Kevin take us through the process of building and fixing our homes from frame to finish to final details. But what does he build, make and fix when the cameras aren’t rolling and the clients aren’t there?

  • What's new in tailgating food? Let's talk.
    Are you looking for new tailgating food ideas? We are talking with Cooking Outdoors expert Gary House. Join us.
    Autumn is just around the corner, and pre-season football is in full swing. While tailgating happens for everything from weddings to concerts these days, we grew up on the football tailgating tradition.
    And we're ready for some new ideas to impress our friends while we tailgate the games in our own backyard. (We checked with the editor of Tailgater Monthly and backyard tailgating is acceptable.)
    But what's new in tailgating food? What's new in cooking outdoors? We're talking with expert Gary House.
    Gary is the host of 'Cooking Everything Outdoors' featured on iTunes and YouTube and regularly featured on the Outdoor Cooking Channel, TMP Outdoors and Country TV, New Zealand.

He shares recipes, tips, techniques and my own secrets to creating the best food you have ever had.

    There are things you should always ask a remodeler. And then there are things you probably shouldn't. Just like the start of any new relationship, we should all be on our first-date behavior from the start. So if your potential client asks certain questions off the start, it's a red flag that there may be compatibility issues down the road.

    Sean Lintow Sr is a third generation General Contractor with more than two decades of experience. Sean is a certified RESNET HERS RATER, Infrared Thermographer L2, ENERGY STAR Verifier, AEE CEA Challenge America Partner & Verifier, and a member of NARI, NADRA, & USGBC.

    Kelly Morisseau is a designer who writes about interior design for homeowners and shares industry news with other designers, architects, contractors, and other industry professionals.

  • Do remodelers need twitter? Let's talk social networking and remodeling.
    If you aren't on Twitter, does it really matter? Join us to talk social networking for the remodeling industry.
    We've been tweeting for five years, and were not quite sure why at first. And honestly, we had no idea what we were doing. Since none of our friends were on Twitter, we had to just figure it out one tweet at a time.
    And now, Theresa can't go a day without checking what she calls her 'personal news feed.' But do we really need it for our remodeling work?
    Join us on August 6th at 1pmET when we talk with the weekly#ConstChat leaders Tess Wittler, Bridget Willard, and Carol Stephen about social networking for the remodeling industry. Do we really need Twitter? When do we need it? What time should we be on Twitter? And what kinds of things should remodelers share and search?
    Bring your questions to the discussion or post comments below. We're ready to talk.

  • Designing for Millennials: What do they want? Tune in.
    Curious about what millennials are expecting from home design? We're talking with designer Courtney Rogers about designing for millennials. Join us!
    We've all heard about the differences between GenX and the generation raised on iPads and on-demand entertainment. And we've seen the stats on how home buying trends have been decreasing among the millennial generation.

We're talking with designer Courtney Rogers, recently recognized as one of the National Kitchen and Bath Association's '30 under 30,' and '40 under 40' for Professional Remodeler magazine.
