Southern OR (OP) User ID: 2183660 United States 10/29/2011 01:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We recently participated in one of these shows. Any questions? I have some answers now.... Quoting: Southern OR How did the taxes affect you keeping what you got? Taxes...good question. The contributions are not a "write off" for the companies that participate and "donate". If it was a donation then the homeowner would be responsible for taxes. So they consider all the labor and material as a "gift" so no taxes due to the homeowner and no write off for the business that contributed materials/labor.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1230442 I think Karma will punch him in the face for this. He does not do anything other than video and photo ops for the show. I was disappointed.

Sorry do disappoint you but I am just another human. We signed on to do this show before all the details came to light...that's how they get the local support. The story is it is all done by the local community, not much help from ABC or the "stars" that they show on the show.
