Before he knew it, he was signing a contract with Pie Town Productions for the new show. The couple would buy, fix up and flip 13 houses in 13 episodes.

In Europe Romania, Bulgaria, Germany, Austria Bosnia and Poland all have large deposits and mine rock salt for use all across Europe. North America also has some of the largest rock salt mines, in places such as Ontario, Louisiana and Detroit. Many old salt mines, and some of the new functioning ones, are more than just mines though, and attract thousands of visitors each and every year.
All major rock salt deposits originated from the evaporation of seawater at some time during the geologic past. Approximately 78 percent of the mineral matter in normal seawater is sodium chloride. Upon evaporation of about nine-tenths of the volume of seawater, rock salt is precipitated. Calcium sulfate (gypsum and anhydrite) and potassium and magnesium salts also are precipitated.
