Mandatory Home Inspections recommended!

OMG! HGTV - http://www.diynetwork.com/renovation-realities/show/index.html. If ever there was a reason to make Home Inspections a mandatory part of your home buying experience, this is it!

What is the problem. All they were doing is stripping paint.

Video’s not available anymore! What did you do Len?:frowning:

We’ve got a morning of it on TV this morning. I can’t watch anymore, I’m cringing.

We’ve had a couple of girls decide to do a basement bathroom renovation. First thing they do is knock down a Cinderblock supporting wall. Then one of them cuts a live wire to a bathroom cabinet because she can’t be bothered to shut the power off.

Another couple decide to swap their Kitchen with their living room. OMG, cringe, cringe, cringe. Gas, Electrics, Waste, Water, Framing, Drywall Arghhh!

Another couple, Kitchen reno. Found mold on the drywall above the cabinets, no problem! cover it up with more drywall!

These have got to be actors! I cannot believe this really goes on, and they get away with it. Especially as the wallies have opted to be televised!

Not seen one from Canada yet, am waiting with bated breath!

This wasn’t the worlds worst handyman was it?

Unfortunatly, its a reality building show, its amazing they have not killed someone yet.

I thought the same Leonard :shock:
My wife told me to stop yelling at the tv.

My favorite words are Holy crap!!!:mrgreen:

uhh, you don’t really think reality shows are real do you guys? (If you do, please email me privately regarding some exclusive investment opportunities.)
