Okay how's this for advertising? "Hoarding:Buried Alive."

**BurlyGuys** · 03-07-2012, 08:18 PM

So this Sunday at 9:00 PM Burly Guys will be on "Hoarding:Buried Alive" on TLC at 9:00 pm. We cleaned out a home in Inkster Michigan back in December. This is junk removal rather than scrapping, but we have been talking about advertising on here.

The cool thing is they paid me to do this. Unfortunately, they covered the phone number and website on the side of my truck for the shoot. (Some contractual thing they have.) But my business name still shows up, both on the side of the truck and on the guys shirts.

My only concern is how much ends up on the cutting room floor!

If you get a chance please watch or DVR it and let me know what you think!

lol mike, i almost bet i know who it was! A guy used to come around a place where i did a lot of work, he'd pick up anything! 3 foot long 2x4's, anything! I think he lived right off of elm hill pike, and fesslers lane, down that last little stretch of EHP, where it went by a cemetary, just before it hit murfreesboro rd, there was an old house in there with more junk and metal stacked all over at least an acre or two, i think was where he lived at, you could see it well from the freeway, like you was going from downtown, towards the airport

**mikeinreco** · 03-07-2012, 10:25 PM

It was actually in Antioch off Nollensville Rd....I did a lot of property cleanup there not so much here in Knoxville so far

**Bear** · 03-07-2012, 10:30 PM

is Knoxville a port? I'm just wondering if it might not be a cleaner town, since Nashville has the port, and had lots of heavy industry related to that fact

**mikeinreco** · 03-07-2012, 10:34 PM

Knoxville does seem alot cleaner which sucks for my biz

**Scrap man** · 03-11-2012, 09:42 PM

I was watching it just now. Nice haul!

**BurlyGuys** · 03-11-2012, 09:50 PM

Wow we are getting some serious air time!

**miked** · 03-11-2012, 10:10 PM

So did you guys get to haul anything? It looked like it all went back in the house. The t-shirts looked great. Mike.

**parrothead** · 03-11-2012, 10:23 PM

I will be watching it later. Been too busy today. Can't wait to see it.

When all was said and done most got put back into the house. We did take away about a truckload, although you can't tell by how much went back into the house. That being said, we never got to see how GOOD the house looked when she finished a few weeks later. I am very happy for Carol!

Also really happy about how our shirts looked, especially when compared to the guys on the other segment in the show. My guys rocked it and I am proud of them!

**DylanTheScrapper** · 03-11-2012, 11:50 PM

Your guys were awesome, BurlyGuy! I know it would of drove me crazy to pull out all of those items, just to turn around and put them right back in. Also if you don't mind me asking, what was up with the wicker basket ordeal?

**GeorgeB** · 03-11-2012, 11:55 PM

Burlyguys:

I have always been curious about these shows. I watch the "hoarder" show sometimes. Did the show pay you for hauling away the junk and for being on the show or just one?
