This includes North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Moody, New Westminster, and Surrey. Use a map to determine if your house would qualify for the show. If you are trying to apply to the Vancouver Love It or List It, you'll have to fill out a specific application. Go through the form and answer all of the questions to the best of your knowledge. Make sure to inject your family's unique personality into the questionnaire. Love It or List It will want to see your house to get an understanding of the potential renovations that may have to take place, as well as see what your family looks like. To complete the application, include 3-5 photos of the exterior of the house, 3-5 photos of each interior room that needs to be addressed, and 1-3 photos clearly showing your family. Do not use slideshows or online-only photo formats because they won't be accepted. You can print out your application and send it to a physical address at C/O Guest Casting, 2400 Boundary Road Burnaby, BC, V5M 3Z3 or you can e-mail your application to westcasting@bigcoatproductions.com. Typically it can take anywhere from two weeks to a month to hear a response from the show.

Write an article based on this "Clean regularly. Add throw rugs at entryways. Prevent scratching from furniture with felt protectors. Don't buff, polish, or wax."
article: When the floor builds up debris, that can lead to damage to your floor. Shoes will grind in the dirt, making scratches on the floor. Vacuuming and sweeping regularly can help prevent this problem. One of the main sources of dirt in your home is what's tracked in from outside on shoes. To help decrease the amount of dirt, bacteria, and toxins brought in, add welcome mats and rugs at the entryways, so the dirt can collect on them instead of your floors. It can also help to put a rug near your sinks to catch any water overflow. Furniture legs can cause scratches on your hardwood floors. To help prevent this problem, use felt protectors or furniture socks on the bottom of the legs, so that your furniture slides easily across the floor instead of scratching it.  Similarly, don't walk over your floors with high heels or cleats, as they can cause dents. In fact, it can help to just remove all shoes at the door. Another way to prevent scratches is to make sure your pets' claws are always trimmed. Waxing these floors can make them too slippery to walk on easily. It can also make the floor dull more quickly. Similarly, you don't need to buff or polish these floors, as the polyurethane coating doesn't need it. Despite its durable finish, polyurethane flooring can start to wear out eventually. If this does happen, you can revitalize your floor with a restoring product (such as Minwax, Rejuvenate, or Bruce). In these circumstances, it can be helpful to screen or buff the floor before applying the restoring product.

Write an article based on this "Cut pieces of PVC pipe. Cut and sew fabric. Decide how you will attach the screen."
article:
Buy ½ inch PVC pipe from a standard hardware store, along with 8 T-joint connectors, 4 end caps, and 2 elbow joints, all in the same ½” size. Get 4 10-foot lengths and use a hacksaw or ask staff at the hardware store to cut the following pieces from them:  One 6ft 1/2″ PVC Four 3ft 1/2″ PVC Five 2.5ft 1/2″ PVC Two 2ft 1/2″ PVC Four 1ft 1/2″ PVC  Note that these lengths include enough material to brace the frame with two horizontal pieces and a small vertical piece that connects them. If you use thicker PVC pipe (like ¾” or 1”) the frame will be sturdier and you may not need this bracing. Look in any store that sells fabric for a bright green color of natural or synthetic fabric that won't wrinkle easily. Purchase at least 2-3 yards of fabric that is 48 inches wide or wider.  Note that a standard width for fabric is 48 inches, or 4 feet. If you want a green screen wider than that, look for fabric that comes in a 54" or 60” width, or sew two pieces of fabric together for an even larger size.  It’s also a good idea to iron your fabric so that it is free of wrinkles before use as a green screen. Visible wrinkles that show up on camera will interfere with the keying process that replaces the color with another image.  If you cannot find a suitable green color of fabric, you may be able to paint or dye fabric to your desired shade. However, this method may not turn out as even or consistent as a pre-dyed fabric. Determine how you would like to attach your green fabric to the top of the frame. Use clamps, sewing, or elastic depending on your preferences.  Get A clamps (or spring clamps) to clamp the fabric to the top of the frame. You will also use these to attach the fabric smoothly to the sides of the frame, so you can grab a few more with very little expense from a hardware store. Try sewing a “pocket” into the top of the fabric by folding it over and sewing to create a long loop through which to slide the PVC pipe.  Use approximately 6 inch pieces of elastic band fabric, folded over to create loops large enough to fit around your PVC pipe. Then sew or staple these loops to the fabric wherever you want it to connect to your frame.
