Kennihans score points with TV show
MIDDLESEX TWP — Kennihan's Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning intercepted an unusual job for a popular Steelers standout.
Jerry Kennihan explained that the Animal Planet television series “Treehouse Masters” was planning an episode in which the show's crew would build a treetop specimen at the Gibsonia home of Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The show's producers soon discovered that Allegheny County requires all plumbing projects to be completed by a master plumber and undergo an inspection to ensure the work passes.
So they sent at least 100 emails to various master plumbers in the Pittsburgh area to see if any were interested in being the first down for the job.
Kennihan explained that he received an email that included the producer's name but didn't say “Animal Planet.”
“I didn't know if it was someone just fooling around,” Kennihan said.
The second time his office got the email, he instructed the staff to reply with the directive to have the producer call him.
