I just watched a TOH and I noticed in the credits - someone named Jason White was listed for something to do with internet video? I may be remembering teh credit wrong, but i certainly saw a Jason White listed ... was that you?

[Jason White]

He got me as far as the window, and I finished the rest.

I watched the episode also and was wondering how far along did he stay to help you??? Did you both complete the shed???

I did learn a very good trick he uses and that was the story pole and the way he swung it to get his course of shingles to fit just right under the window. Have to remember that one. I bet he is full of little tricks like that.

Damn! I missed the episode this week (baby duty, you know). I hope I can catch it on a re-run soon (gotta get myself some TiVo).

Anyway, congratulations, I am sure it was a lot of fun!

What was the time between taping the show and been shown on PBS?

Wow I can hardly find time to watch the show and you were on it !!!

I'll hit the Tivo and see if I caught it.. Very cool.

I met Tom a couple of years ago at a tool conference. He is a nice guy and easy to talk with.. I tried to get a job on one of his crews, but he said there was a waiting list for that .

I'm gonna have to see if I can find your show and watch with awe. Actually making sawdust with him must have been great.

That was a very interesting segment and your building looked really nice. I remember watching Norm build it on his show (or one very similar) and thinking that I wished my home was built with that kind of quality and attention to detail. Of course then I wouldn't have been able to afford to buy it.

This past Tuesday was Mardi Gras as I assume all know. My son rides in the ZULU parade. As he and the rest of the Krewe were loading the float with beads and coconuts (Zulu gives decorated coconuts) They noticed TV cameras hovering about. They were filming Kevin O'Connor, host of TOH, who was riding as a guest. You may know TOH is airing currently a fix up on a flooded house in New Orleans. My son asked the cameraman "you mean the series is already on the air and you haven't finished filming yet?" He answered that they live dangerously.

Very cool! I did watch that episode .. there was some good info.

I figure most of the ToH guys are much like they are on the show. They all seem quite genuine and unpretentious. I laugh a bit watching Tom sometimes though .. he really lets someone know if they're doing something wrong. (noticed this when he helped a couple reshingle their garage on an Ask ToH episode).

Anyway, congrats. Looks like you did a good job on the shed.

I've seen that one a couple of times now, I would love to know what was going on that didn't make it into the show. Tom seemed like he was going to snap.

About 4 months.
