Old World Architecture Meets New World Communications as DIY Network Invites Online Users to Help Decide Design Elements of New DIY 'Blog Cabin
(PRWeb) February 6, 2007 -- From countertops and fireplace to floors and windows, the DIYnetwork.com community on the World Wide Web will vote on key design elements for an actual log cabin to be built in the beautiful Smoky Mountains, and then given away to a lucky viewer later this year. For those dreaming of a cozy cabin in the woods, no need to wield an axe -- a click of the mouse could be all it takes! (www.DIYnetwork.com/blogcabin)
"Is it possible that people who never meet, who come from different backgrounds, who have widely varied tastes and who live in far-flung locations can all come together to create a plan and style that somehow fits together? That was the question we started with for 'Blog Cabin,'" explains Kathleen Finch, general manager of DIY Network. "DIY-ers don't want to just watch, they want to do! 'Blog Cabin' proves that the worlds of computers and of power tools are not mutually exclusive and is an exciting new way our brand users can interact with us and with each other."
DIY Network's "Blog Cabin" is a major interactive initiative from DIY Network that consists of community voting and blogging online at DIYnetwork.com; construction of the actual log cabin which will be documented in a 13-part TV series this fall on DIY Network; and sweepstakes beginning this fall to award the completed cabin to one lucky winner.
DIY host and home building expert Amy Devers will take the reins of both the online blog and on-air series, joined by twin contractors Chris and Simon Hodshon to get the job done. Devers will lead discussions on what makes log cabins special, document the trials and triumphs of construction and comment on best construction practices in a blog beginning in early February on DIYnetwork.com. The Web site will also offer photos and video of the construction process.
DIY Network is available nationwide on DISH Network Ch. 111 and DIRECTV Ch. 230. For additional cable channel designations, check local listings or visit www.DIYnetwork.com.
