10 Grand in Your Hand

10 Grand in Your Hand, on the DIY Network, features cost-cutting tips and money saving techniques for homeowners beginning a renovation. At the beginning of each episode, host John DeSilvia narrates to both the viewer and the homeowner specific ways to do a home renovation without hiring a contractor. DeSilvia then goes into the home with the homeowner pointing out problem areas and highlighting easy fixes. Refinishing hardwood floors, installing cabinetry, and wiring electrics throughout the house are all made relatively easy in the face-paced show. DeSilvia's goal throughout the show is to make sure that the homeowners save at least ten thousand dollars in their renovation. His tips and tricks regarding painting, outdoor renovation, and kitchen and bath enhancements can easily help the average do-it-yourselfer in their quest to improve their home without spending too much money. 10 Grand in Your Hand fits well in the DIY network's line-up of shows promising to help you save money on both large and small home renovations.
