Yard Crashers on DIY Network

ExploreSAC — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 23:18:07 +0000

I was flipping through the channels a while back and came across a show I hadn’t seen before called Yard Crashers. I was about to move on when I saw that they were at OSH and heard the host mention Sacramento. I thought it was a fluke, watched the show, and soon forgot about it. Until yesterday…

The same thing happened – I was flipping through the channels and happened across Yard Crashers. This time they were at Emigh Hardware, located on El Camino near Watt Ave! It wasn’t a fluke.

Yard Crashers is a home improvement show, like Curb Appeal or , hosted by landscaper Ahmed Hassan. The crew stakes out a hardware store and ambushes customers. Most are too startled or standoffish, but inevitably one will accept Hassan’s offer and Yard Crashers has a new project. Yard Crashers is the product of the Sacramento firm, Idea Factory. More information about the show can be found on SacBee.com.

I looked through our TV’s guide and found more episodes to record, but also saw that they were all older episodes. Apparently it’s between seasons, which makes me think they’re going to start filming soon, especially since the weather is getting nicer! So, keep an eye out for Ahmed Hassan at a local hardware store! You might be able to get a free yard renovation!
