If you don't, take a good look at him...show his picture to your husband....and if you see him, don't ignore him! This is Ahmed Hassan, the host of HGTV's Yard Crashers . Ahmed shows up in local home improvement stores and asks unknowing customers if they need help in their yards. Most people shrug and keep walking or simply ignore him...big mistake....BIG MISTAKE! For those who take the time to listen, Ahmed follows them home. He then addresses their needs and problems with a new design. Of course, after that one of those magic crews show up and presto chango...new yard, new patio, new deck, new flowers, new trees! Next time I go to Lowe's, I'm going to carry his picture in my wallet :) You've been warned. This man is on the loose and he's armed with a labor force and money. Be on the lookout.
He and his crew could show up to work their magic in my yard. I would love a bit of help on the gardens and yard -- especially after all new gas lines, phone lines and cable lines have been installed to the house. READ: yard and gardens torn up and all my trees removed for road construction!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning! I will be waiting for the crews to arrive!
OOOOOOH I would LOVE IT if he followed me home! Wouldn't that be glorious! Thank you for the warning..makes me want to go there and spend the day...every day...in hopes that I might run into him. ha. I doubt if he would follow me and my crazy kids, but maybe...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet comment you left on my blog!
Happy OW!!!

oh good luck Susan!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be lovely to have in come and help landscape your garden.
It would be a dream come true.
Hugs

Susan, every time I watch that show, I'm thinking, what is wrong with those people! But then again, I have learned that normally, if it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true. Obviously, none of those people have seen the show! laurie
ReplyDeleteI love that show. I can't believe he has a hard time getting people. If he walked up to me and asked me if I needed/wanted a landscaper, I would say, boy did you ask the right person.
ReplyDeleteI love that show and I would cook him dinner and dessert if he would re-do my yard!!!
ReplyDeleteNever watched that show at all....but I've seen commercials of it. LOL Right about now tho, the only thing he could do was to perform a rain dance...our lawn is soooooooooo dry!!!
ReplyDeleteMy O W is posted now...it's a continuation [and last entry for the week] of our tour of the Botanical Gardens.
Hi Susan, thanks for stopping by. Your Jessie is adorable. And I think this is a great Outdoor Wednesday post. I've never heard of the show before but I'll keep my eyes open. What a fun concept.
ReplyDeleteI will be keeping my eyes open for Ahmed!
ReplyDeleteCathy
WHat a blessing that would be!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame I don't live in the USA
ReplyDeleteHappy OW
I love that show!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info! I'll definitely pay more attention next time I'm in Lowe's!
ReplyDeleteI love his show. Will definitely be on the lookout for him. I would just die if he followed me home. What fun that would be:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the 'heads up' about this ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
I am not familiar with that show as I am not big on watching TV. However, I sure could use him around my place.
ReplyDeleteI have watched this show! He is so fun and great. I just dont have a great yard to redo!! :) Fun post-- unique!
ReplyDeleteStop by if you get a minute -- would love to have you.
TTFN~~~Claudia ♥ ♥
The said part is, I would be one that would probabley just say "no thank you" and keep walking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up :-). Wouldn't it be fun to find him in our own stores :-). I hope you are having a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he gets this far. I could really use him:-)....Christine
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, thaks for the hosta suggestion. I bought one and planted it under the tree but I need to buy more. And yes, I will have to bring the pineapple plants inside when it gets cold. I have so many that I have to bing inside like bird of paradise, orchids, etc. cause I like tropical plants. I will need more indoor room, LOL!...Christine
ReplyDeleteIf I see him first, I'm tackling him and dragging him home!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen that show! And I have HGTV on a lot...well maybe not so much in the summer..
ReplyDeleteI will look for it..
Hope he finds his way here...I would never say no!
Oh heavens - if he followed me home, I'm afraid he'd pick a new career!~
ReplyDeleteHow much fun... and he's a cutie too! I'll be on the lookout, going to Home Depot today! I have a patio design I want him to do!
ReplyDeleteBlessings...
ps...thanks for dropping by!
I must warn Hubby! He is at Lowes almost daily!
ReplyDeleteI've watched the show and love it! Thanks for coming by the porch!
The image is burned in my brain and would never turn down anyone asking if I need help in my yard!
ReplyDeleteWell first I would think he was Barrack Obama. After I put my glasses on I would definitely bring him home and pour him some of my limoncello and probably keep him hostage for awhile.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that show yet. I can tell you this though, he would follow me home and take one look at my yard, and retreat.
ReplyDeleteA handsome man offering to help in my yard? No, wouldn't say no to that! Might have to start hanging out at Lowe's looking helpless. :-)
ReplyDeleteHe could follow me home any day... I'll start lurking now.
ReplyDeleteNow, see, I don't have to keep his picture in my wallet. I talk to ALL strange men when I'm out in public, hoping someone will follow me home. . . .
ReplyDeleteOh wow -- can you imagine being so lucky as to get YARD HELP from someone you didn't have to threaten with serious bodily injury first? Bliss.
Cass
I really wish I would run into him! I bet some of those peeps who ditzed him are kicking themselves now...
ReplyDeleteWhat a nifty idea!
