    I saw it too! Actually, my daughters pointed it out to me
    I'm not sure which tartan he had on either. Haven't had time to research...just finished watching it.

    Thumbs up

    I saw that too! I kept wondering if there would be a comment about it on the show, but nobody said anything. Good on that guy for getting it out there.

    It may be how he got on the show to set him apart from others as TV is a visual medium. He's a joiner and a loner.

    The man's name is Dave Dunlap, he is one of the owner's of Consolidated Construction Group who was one of two general contractors for the house. I worked on the early part of the house (concrete foundation/basement) and got to talk with him, he is a pretty nice guy. Funny I never would have thought to ask him if he was a kilted warrior.
