Do you live in a barn, grain silo, water tower, oil derrick, submarine, hollow tree, mausoleum, elevator shaft, post office or anything on wheels? Make that a former barn, grain silo, water tower, etc.
If so, AMS Pictures, the largest production company in the Southwest, wants to hear from you. The company is casting for homeowners in converted homes for the HGTV series You Live in What?, a light-hearted look at unique homes and their owners.
To be considered for the show, you must live in a “repurposed” house, be the homeowner or responsible party, have converted the house yourself, and have photographs or video of the conversion process.
Send your name, contact info, a description of the house and 5 by 10 photographs to: homecasting@amspictures.com.
If your abode is selected, AMS will conduct a one-day shoot at your home at a convenient time. Participants will receive an honorarium, a DVD of the show, and lots of attention from viewers.

Tebow huddles up
The popular Page Six gossip column that runs in The New York Post ran an item Thursday that says Jets quarterback and former Broncos QB Tim Tebow is dating actress Camilla Belle.
According to the story, “Sources tell us the couple met at the Met Ball in May and have quietly been seeing each other ever since. We’re told Tebow, who lives in a storm-damaged part of New Jersey, and Belle avoided the wrath of Sandy by spending the weekend and the early part of this week in Jacksonville, Fla., where his parents have a place.
“They were spotted at Latitude 30 in Jacksonville on Tuesday night, where they bowled ‘and played arcade games ‘together, a spy tells us, adding, ‘They were very together and affectionate, until some young fans asked to take Tim’s picture, when Camilla politely stood aside.’
“They’ve also been spotted together at the beach and at restaurants in town. Belle, who has previously dated Joe Jonas, was raised in a strict Catholic household, and sources tell us she and Tebow have attended church together.”
