| TLC's "While You Were Out" transformed edi! The episode premiered August 31 - if you didn't catch it, look at the TLC web site episode calendar to find out when it will be re-run. |
Near the end of this winter, we submitted our conference room and reception area to the BBC
America/TLC show, "While You Were Out". After many, many flaming hoops to jump through, we made
the final cut and were selected for the show. On June 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 2005, the cast and crew
descended on our small company and through the chaos and disasters, we emerged with a new look.
Kudos to Candi -she carried on every bit of our day-to-day business as if there were no craziness
going on, even keeping the secret from Kevin who was on the road and CONSTANTLY calling in! This
was a feat of magic in and of itself. How she did it, I'll never know.
Cast and crew (about 20 additional people in all) took in stride the fact that we were a fully functional
office going about our business and in spite of the near impossible logistics, the demolition and
construction began. Read on and see some of the show elements we can reveal to you now - a small
virtual tour of the finished job will have to wait until the show airs August 31st at 7:00 p.m. CST.
We'll update the page as soon as it airs...

Cast and crew were wonderful - charming, fun and very creative...
...And they worked us HARD!!!

Edie and Julie were the worker bees for the
renovation and worked closely with the cast and
the unsung, behind the scenes heroes: Neil, who
mysteriously knows what everyone is doing; Liz,the
glue of the show; Ryan the (shh!) sound guy and
the busy, busy cameramen; Brian, the jack of all
trades; Anne, who can do anything on the spot;
curt Kurt and last but not least - the vision of
Julian and Sara. We made many wonderful
friendships, and the experience will be treasured
for a lifetime!

St. Augustine's and edi marketing. The bells of the church made quite an impact on
the cast and crew, who weren't used to hearing them every day. Father Tom had
the same problem with the ladies at the rectory as Candi did with the girls in our
office (too many handsome TV stars on site) and he came over to carpentry world
and good-naturedly scolded the WYWO carpenters for being such a distraction!

| Cramped quarters in the old reception area. Hardly enough room for one, much less two office workers! |
Savannah, Jennifer and Stephani couldn't keep their eyes off of the handsome cast members and on their
work, but somehow Candi kept them on target each day. Caterers everywhere! Phones and faxes down!
Projects with hot buttons! Computers on the fritz!
