Ty Pennington used to be one of the carpenters on Trading Spaces. I did catch a few new episodes of Trading Spaces and found that they had replaced the carpenters (they also did the same on While You Were Out). Well, I was heading to bed and was flipping through and — lo and behold — I see Ty Pennington on yet another home improvement show. This one is on ABC and is called Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and is a cross between While You Were Out and Bob Villa… they have a HUGE crew for this show and it looks pretty severe. I’m tempted to stay up and watch but I have to get to bed… If you’ve seen it, share your thoughts below.

Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.
Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.

I have not seen it, but I am very suprised they got rid of the carpenters. I wonder what happened. from what I understood, they were very popular. (theresa from WYWO was saying that that guy carpenter had a huge fan set whenever they went places)

Are you sure they replaced Ty? He’s still listed on their website, along with Amy Wynn and the new guy. Who are the new carpenters?

Well, I don’t know for certain… while Tivo is faithfully recording the shows, I spend most of my time at home in my office and therefore rarely watch it anymore. I’ve caught a few, though, that have had a new carpenter.

They brought in a new guy on Trading Spaces, only to shuttle him over to Trading Spaces Family. But they seem to have kept Ty and Amy Wynn, as well.

Hi! They did get a new carpenter on trading spaces. His name is Carter. My mom and I argue over who is hotter (with me on Ty’s side) and I always seem to win. The new show Extreme Makeover Home Edition is a show where they find families that are in desprate need of a home makeover, usually because of a sickness or daeth in the family. It is so heart-warming to watch Ty help these poor people. HES SO HOTT

I to miss Ty on trading spaces.
But he found his calling helping others.
Some families he has helped become examples for all of us.
He is a person who doesnt want thanks.
Seeing tears and smiles on others is thanks enough.
