With home-improvement projects

TAMPA - With home-improvement projects at an all-time high, do-it-yourselfers can get expert advice when the crew from the PBS television series "Ask This Old House" makes a "house call" to Tampa in September.

The crew will be taping a special episode Sept. 21 to 23 in Tampa, and local homeowners will be involved, according to officials at PBS outlet WEDU, Channel 3.

Members of the "Ask This Old House" crew will offer "behind the scenes" stories and memorable moments from the show, along with lessons learned and favorite projects.

Homeowners are invited to submit questions at www.wedu.org/askthisoldhouse.

The crew will make a free appearance from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 22 at The Home Depot, 1712 N. Dale Mabry Highway.

Fans in attendance will also participate in the "what is it" challenge, have a chance to ask home-maintenance questions, receive giveaways from the show (while supplies last) and have the chance to win autographed "Ask This Old House" merchandise as part of WEDU fundraiser.

From the questions submitted online, one needy homeowner's project will be chosen by the "Ask This Old House" team for the special episode, which will air next season.

WEDU is also hosting an online auction to give a fan an opportunity [for two] to visit the local taping, have lunch and take photos with the crew, and more. For details or to bid (beginning Aug. 31), go to

The "Ask This Old House" team travels to homeowners' doorsteps and personally tackles viewers' home-improvement problems.

In addition to making "house calls," host Kevin O'Connor, general contractor Tom Silva, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey, landscape contractor Roger Cook and various guest experts walk viewers through home-improvement techniques and review the latest products.

"Ask This Old House" airs at 11:30 a.m. Saturday on WEDU, preceded at 11 a.m. by "This Old House," America's premier home-improvement series on television.
