We finally heard last Friday that we did not make the cut for Season 2 of "Going Yard". The producer could not have been nicer delivering the news and stated over and over that they loved us and really wanted to do our yard over. But the "logistics and the shape of our yard" were insurmountable problems to the producers. It all goes back to where the dumpster was going to go and parking! So sad. My whole family was really disappointed and we are now back to square one on fixing this portion of the yard.

Just to give you some inside information...

They budget $25,000 for each makeover. Last week, they asked us if we would be willing to kick in $3,000 to 8,000 so that they could really do a unique design. They said they were asking all the homeowners on Season 2 to do this. We offered more than that but that still didn't work.

I asked if Chris had seen any of our pictures and/or videotape just wondering if he would have been involved in the design. The producer said that he hadn't gotten that far. So it's true that the designers in California make the designs for the yards and Chris executes and hosts the show. I'm sure he has some input, but not on the big picture.

I may send them a note (Chris and Peyton that is) and ask for their recommendation of a company to hire and to determine if E. Lambton might be able to do the work. Good idea? They are so nice, I'm thinking they might even respond. But I don't want to be a stalker....

And, FYI, we were in Dennis for dinner last night and drove past Chris and Peyton's house (it's on a relatively 'main' street). They added at least two large cedar pergolas to their side yard for their "Going Yard" episode! Kate wait to see it.

Thanks for all of the supportive comments. It was fun while it lasted!!!

Aww bummer :Frown: sorry to hear you guys didn't make the final cut luvstx. You were so close! Maybe that makes it harder to be so close and not get it, although it's really cool that you got that far. It's been so much fun to read all your updates throughout the process, thank you so much for sharing all that you have!

I don't see anything wrong with asking E. Lambton for a recc, I say go right ahead!

I'm so sad that you weren't picked! That would have been a dream come true for a board member to have their yard done on national TV!

Dang! Times are getting so tough that the people having their yard done has to pay some money? Wow!

Thanks for all the nice comments, all. And I think I will send them a note and try not to sound too desperate :)

Sorry it didn't work out but I like the idea of the letter for a referral. Thanks for updating!

Go for it, especially since you were so close in getting a yard makeover. Sorry it didn't go your way but I am looking forward to seeing more Cape Cod makeovers including Chris & Peyton's.

Sorry, this might have been posted already. I made it my avatar because I just love this picture of the two of them.

Just want to bump this up. I missed it the first time and it's a really good interview. This was the first time I heard that Peyton was at her parent's in TN when Jesse invited her to the charity golf tournament where she met Chris. Fate or what? lovetogether
