I remember when Dave Romstead's first show got picked up for the remaining season and how pumped he was. Even though he was the 1st Design Star, they only guaranteed a minimum number of episodes. I wonder how many Going Yard is getting for season 1? I really think HGTV needs new shows instead of showing House Hunters so much. :Nod:

They just picked up a show from DYI that I'm becoming obsessed with, Rehab Addict. Sounds like a different kind of show doesn't it?

It was a very fun experience and the casting producer was very nice. She has been on Cape Cod for a couple of weeks as they are completing the filming of Season 1. I don't want to say too much in case they don't want too many details out there but I will tell all of you that you will get your wish for a great episode as the Season 1 finale :giggle:

I am less optimistic that we will get cast after this morning's taping. The real issue that may knock us out of the box is the small size of our neighborhood, the challenge of getting a dumpster in place and the need for parking for the crew. Our house is on a private dirt (though decent sized) road so that made her nervous. We assured her that we have good relations with our neighbors (which we do), that I was President of the road association and that we own a piece of the road and, therefore, could shut it down for filming if need be. Plus we found two spots for the dumpster. So let's hope that doesn't cause us to be eliminated.

The taping was fun. She coached us to be enthusiastic and outgoing as anyone who isn't would not get cast. She told us to interact as we normally would as a family and I think we did a good job with that. She probably taped us for a total of 5 to 10 minutes including our pleading to Chris and Peyton to give us a nice backyard. Later on she noted that we would need to have a party that Peyton could direct for us at the end. We offered that a college send off for our son or a graduation party would work for us.

She explained that the filming takes six days (Monday through Saturday). Some days we would need to be there for five hours of filming and some days they'd only need us to be there for an hour. First day is the 'before' filming with demo at the end. Then several days of construction with the reveal on Saturday.

They still don't have the 'green light' (her words) on the second season yet so all could go down the tubes if they don't get picked up for another season. So keep your fingers crossed.

She also cautioned us that besides telling the design team what our style was and what three things we really wanted in the design, we would have no control over what they did. That's a bit scary but she said people are almost always happy with the result. Got the sense that the design team in California did most of the design work (though I still hope Chris has a large hand in the final design as he understands the Cape and its charm).

So that's it so far. We were told it will be at least four weeks before they will know about the second season. Then I think things could go quickly.
