The DIY network is looking for desperate
front landscapes in Atlanta.
Strong preference is for fun, funky, under 35 yr old homeowner(s). Any
type of home is welcome, but prefer something unique: odd architecture,
rehabber, urban loft, etc. Could be friends living together, rental
property or even a commercial/church structure in a neighborhood
surrounded by residential units. Only locations inside I-285 will be
considered. It's a great deal: they show up in mid-October and in one
day take the home from worst on the block....to first! Click here
for details.
