Hi there,
My names Rhys and I'm casting producer over at PI Productions which is run by the people that brought you shows such as MasterChef and Grand designs. I wanted to bring to you attention that we are casting for a brand new home renovation TV series and I wanted to see if this is something you, your friends, family or even your colleagues might be interested in. If this is something either yourself or someone you know might be interested in finding more information about it, do get in touch. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/uk-diy...j-1396304-.htm |

It has at least two typos in it, which I'd have thought might not be a good
way to impress anyone. I'm not sure if Rees is looking for mugs to get their homes turned over, sorry improved, or whether he is looking for traders to do jobs.

Those with £10 to £20k to pay for renovations appear on daytime property auction programmes. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

I don't know the details of Harry's place but superinsulation can make sense. PV less so. Firewood is alright if you want to keep fit and have nothing better to do, but relying on it isn't so great, everyone gets ill at some point. NT |
