DIY Network shows transformation of Waldoboro home

Jul 20, 2012
The completed DIY Network house for "Blog Cabin." It’s a four-bedroom, two-bath, 2,500-square-foot home with 450 feet of waterfront property along the Medomak.

Waldoboro — DIY Network will premiere the sixth season of the crowd-sourced renovation show “Blog Cabin” on Monday, Aug. 13 at 9:30 p.m.

The series that promises viewers "You Design It, We Build It, You Could Win It!" is showcasing an 1880s Cape-style farmhouse in Waldoboro as it undergoes a complete renovation.

A record-breaking six million viewers voted on all aspects of the renovation — from kitchen tiles and bathtubs to window treatments — on the network’s website DIYNetwork.com. Viewers can visit DIYNetwork.com/BlogCabin to participate in interactive blogs, videos and photos and check out the winning design elements. Starting Aug. 13, visit the website for a chance to win the house.

Hosted by tools expert and do-it-yourself enthusiast Chris Grundy, this season’s “Blog Cabin” also features DIY Network experts such as House Crashers’ Josh Temple, Bath Crashers’ Matt Muenster, Yard Crashers’ Matt Blashaw and Kitchen Crashers’ Alison Victoria. Experts Jason Cameron, host of “Desperate Landscapes,” and Anitra Mecadon of “Mega Dens” are also on hand to transform this 19th-century home, situated on 21 acres along the scenic Medomak River, into a dream vacation retreat.

"This is truly a unique experience for our viewers," said Grundy in a news release. "Nowhere else on television can viewers interact with our experts, weigh in on the renovation and then enter for a chance to win the home they helped design. Our commitment to viewer engagement is what separates DIY Network from everyone else!"
