So here we go again it does not matter how many time you explain to people that tv is most fiction and there only to sell you something, they just don't get it.
Now mike Holmes with his I am better than everyone mouths off saying that 70% of builders in Canada are bad and 10% are ugly. Keep in mind that this guy could not make it as a contractor, he was nearly bankrupt working for another contractor when he started the show.
To this day you can still find things wrong with the work done on his show but yet we are all wrong.
Then look at the other shows on HGTV mistakes everywhere on one show they let home owners bury live wires in the wall behind cabinets.
On these shows they should have to post a disclaimer saying that everything you see is not quite to code and not done right, hire a professional contractors to do your home renos.
These shows do more harm than good filling home owner minds with the idea that there can do it.
Next there will be shows on doing your own dental work or brain surgery,
This madness needs to stop do the job you train for and hire someone to do what you did not.
You are so right Fred. Decked out just infuriates me. Hocking their composites and kerf cutting rim joists on curves that they must know will not last. Keep up the good work on the blog!
