Fame and Fortune?
Before
After
Decisions. Decisions. Should you remodel the bathroom or simply upgrade a few features in the kitchen, such as the cabinetry and countertop? What about that lower level project you’ve been putting on hold since Nixon was in office? DIY’s “Sweat Equity” has the answers. And, as luck would have it, the primetime hit series featuring which home improvement projects will give you the most bang for your buck, is filming its fifth season in Minneapolis, and is looking for a few local homeowners to join the roster. Who knew your big break at fame … and a little bit of fortune (in the way of equity, anyway, and minus the minimum $5,000 financial commitment) could be so easy—if sacrificing your own blood, sweat, and tears can qualify as easy, that is? To apply, send a brief description and photo of the area you’d like to update, as well as one of yourself (preferably looking handy-like), and your contact information to sweatequity@edelmanmn.com.
