The community built through Monday Night Dinners was quick to assist when founder Adam Schluter needed help for a backyard renovation at his 1920 Coeur d'Alene home last summer. "It’s one thing to have a $10 donation at the dinners, but it's another when people are there at 6 in the morning and they’re there 'til 10 at night," Schluter said Monday. "My dad said, 'Not only are they working for free, they're excited about it.' It brought everything together." That backyard renovation will appear on "Ask This Old House" when Episode 2410, "Idaho Backyard Makeover," begins airing on Monday on PBS and the Roku Channel.
