Reality show donates house in New Orleans


August 29, 2008 With tropical storm Gustav winding its way toward New Orleans, a Canadian reality TV shoot on Friday dramatically handed over a new storm-safe house to a grandmother left homeless by Katrina. The TV show, set to air in the fall as a two-hour special on Global and as an extended six-hour series on HGTV, is hosted by Mike Holmes, star of a popular Canadian home renovation show. Through the summer, TV cameras captured the building of an eco-friendly prototype home in New Orleans' Katrina-ravaged Lower Ninth Ward.
