Fix this house. Who is familiar with this show?

I use to think that they really did just happen to drive into a neighborhood and pick a house. But I'm going to watch A&E this Saturnday morning because I have the inside scoop.

Not only is the house vacant, but it belongs to real estate agent. If they depict it any other way, I'll know the show is a put on.

'Fix This Yard': Winter Park house set for TV show's makeover

A Winter Park house owned by local real-estate agent Ryan Courech is to be featured Saturday morning on the A&E cable network's "Fix This Yard" television show.

Courech, co-owner of the real-estate-investment company Meridian Capital Holdings LLC, bought the house for $170,000 in October with the intention of rehabbing it and soon got an email from a television producer who had seen a photo of it on the multiple-listing service.

He learned in December that his Winter Park house had been selected from among about 12 homes under consideration. It was vacant and easy for film crews to access, which probably helped, he said. The episode is scheduled to be shown at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.

"It was a lot of fun, no doubt about it. It's something that I'll remember for the rest of my life," he said. "I'm nervous to see how the final show comes out. Hopefully, I don't come out as the homeowner who doesn't know what he's doing. But, even if I do, it's all in good fun."
