Had it with TV DIY shows

That’s right your sitting down again in front of the TV and there is yet another how to building show on and they are showing you what’s wrong with this job or that job.
Or they are telling you how to build this or renovate that, really !
Is this really how it is to be done? or did they really do such a bad job?

Your not a builder so how would you know they make it look real after all they are the experts.
They keep telling us how they are licensed, all that tells you is they went to school or paid for a licenses.
I can’t tell you how many licensed carpenter I have fired over the years because they just where not capable of doing the work.

You need to be real careful when watching these show they have some fact but mainly they are there to entertain you or sell a product.
We can not forget the fact that what is being built or worked on might not fit for your area, if the show is being done down in California then the way they build is not going to work up here in Canada.

The shows that really get me going is when some so call expert is out there shouting their mouth off about how every contractor out there is doing it wrong and then you see them do something wrong or just not quite right.

Or when they go down south and make a big deal for the hole world to see about helping out when disaster strikes, the helping out part is great but please all the good Canadian builder are watching this and shacking their heads.

I mean we do not frame like that putting up scaffolding everywhere and taking weeks to put up a home that could be framed in less than 13 days.
Not only that but the weather is in the high 90 and what doe’s this guy hand out tool belts that are so big and heavy that you would need to be a pack horse to carry.
One minute its look we coat the cuts with this blue stuff to protect it and the next minute you can clearly see them putting the wood together without using the end cut paint.

It this was not enough are tax dollar’s paid for the gov. to take so called expert to Europe as a adviser to a meeting on global warming and sustainable building practises, for what just Google it you will get the answer you need I think that would have saved us some money.
