American Rehab
Charleston 2.015
From Keith Fasnacht
Message to his dad from Trent Fasnacht, formerly of Greenville: It
looks like we're going to be on TV again next Wednesday, August 19th on
the DIY Network from 11pm - Midnight. This would have been my
paternal grandfather's 108th birthday. (Thanks for supplying me
with all those nails
Grandpa;)
We were on last fall when we worked on the front porch, the exterior,
and built the arbor in the front yard (see American Rehab
Charleston). I believe they're going to re-air the pilot and then
at 11:30 they'll share what we did in the living room and foyer.
Below are some pictures of what we started with and what it looked like
before we put it back together.
This has been an exciting project and I'm glad family and friends will
get a taste for what I do from their living rooms in other parts of the
country.
Just some quick background as far as the timeline/details that has led
up to this series: I was contacted about doing something with
DIY/HGTV in Oct. 2013. The network sent a crew to film me for a
couple days in November. We filmed the pilot episode (that
re-airs at 11pm) in March 2014. It was initially broadcast on DIY
last August and then shown again a couple times in Sept. In
October we were picked up for five more episodes and a much bigger
production crew returned in December and filmed until February.
Editing and production started in March and involved people here, New
York, Los Angeles, Denver, Minneapolis, and probably some other places
I don't know about. Dozens of talented people that were fun to work
with.
This two year ride has been exciting, intense, and full of more
once-in-a-lifetime experiences than I think I can count. It's
been a completely unbelievable and amazing thing to be involved
with. I'll forever be thankful that I was able to do the show and
that everyone who wants to see it will have the chance in the next few
weeks. It's full of great history of both Charleston and
Summerville, SC as well as educational tips about renovating old
homes. As I said once before, this great 109 year old house
(The TV House) is the star and I am the host. I hope you all
enjoy it.
