Eric Eremita attends Us Weekly's Most Stylish New Yorkers of 2018 party at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge on Wednesday, September 12, 2018 in New York, NY. Eric Eremita, the contractor who plays the main foil to designer Hilary Farr on HGTV’s popularshow, has been discharged from Staten Island University Hospital in New York after being successfully treated for COVID-19.“It’s so hard to believe that I’m on my way home after almost 30 days in the hospital,” Eremita wrote.
Eremita didn’t have an easy time of it in his battle with the disease. He spent time on a ventilator and now has to have therapy to learn how to walk again.A popular part ofEremita is tasked with taking Farr’s vision of a renovation and turning it into reality. Often along the way, he’ll find some problems – mold, a pipe, or code violations – that can throw Farr into a tizzy of drama before the issue is resolved, usually by the homeowners coughing up more money.
Glad he is doing ok!
