When i worked around the Taft CA, area i was digging a pit for an oil washout near where a old oil drilling camp used to be. I found an old Union Pacific Railroad hospital division bottle.

Hi guys,

Okay, I know I'm not the only producer to try posting here but this is for a new national TV series set right her in the good ol' US of A. I am a producer with a television production company developing a show for a major TV network. The planned series will follow a pair of individuals with a passion and a deep knowledge of two or more of these things - architecture, history, Americana, engineering, antiques – as they comb the country visiting and exploring abandoned buildings and structures. It's a chance to see places in this country that are disappearing and tell something about our nation's past - like the empty factories that once employed hundreds in a small town to the abandoned grand hotels that were Vegas before there was a Vegas.

We are now in the process of casting who those presenters/hosts might be and we would like to consider someone in the construction / demo / heavy equipment field as hosts for this project.

We are not interested in professorial types. We are looking for regular people with big personalities (think the guys from “American Pickers,” “Myth Busters,” “Billy the Exterminator”) who have a sense of humor, a spirit of adventure and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

If you are interested in learning more about the show and in being considered as a host, or you know someone who fits the bill, please send me back an e-mail at alex@pictureshackentertainment.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

I'll gladly accept an e-mail with your interest as a one-time down payment. I'm admittedly under a bit of a deadline here, so if people want to know more now is the time. You can also check out the company website on pictureshackentertainment.com if you want to know more about the company, like the fact that it actually exists.

My dad and uncle would be great at that job. They love "old stuff" and tearing things down. Unfortunately I can't afford to let them go. I wouldn't have a business without them.
