You know it’s bad when Martin calls the plumbing “creative” 10:04

Awesome! Have NOT seen this episode. 👍

I just had an idea for a computer game - You start with an empty lot, you get to design and build a home on that lot, you are presented with choices for materials and 'building' steps - you place load bearing walls and structure. At the end of the game a "Mike Holmes" is your home inspector.

Sometimes maybe people are simply overwhelmed by all Mike does. Hard for everyday folks to take it all in and process it in a video shoot with so much involved. I’d bet they were/are far more thrilled than they were able to express in the moment. GREAT job Mike and crew!!!

God I wish they showed the old contractors getting sued or arrested, or at the least given updates about that, the illegality of the whole thing they touched and corrupted, they should of been prosecuted and arrested for the potential dangers they inflicted on this family. Mike and Co. did a gorgeous job, but it should of been done right for the get go. No excuses...

When Mike takes you in to show you the problems he has found and uses the term “minor” to describe that all your plumbing is wrong, to include the cutting of at least 8 floor joists, you got some serious problems.

I don’t care what anyone says MIKE YOU ARE DOING SUCH A AMAZING BLESSING FOR PEOPLE, think about it to the homeowner it’s a nightmare everything they have worked for has been threatened— and along comes Mike! Not only fixes it BUT goes overboard and creates a miracle! 🥰 i was a contractor and always wanted to build homes for people and not make a profit, just wasn’t able to get there. 😊

I talked a close friend out of buying a home. They wanted to change too many things in almost every room. I suggested finding a home they actually like. It's too big a risk to reno an entire house. If it goes wrong the house is ruined and the homeowner can't sell it. Mike Holmes has fixed several disasters like that. Do renos in small steps. One room at a time and decide if the Contractor is good.

Keep Giving. Pay It Forward!Mike & TEAM!
MAKE IT RIGHT! ❤❤❤

[cjmaslowski]

I wish there was more contractors like Mike Holmes to make it right 👍

Mike walking into the house at the beginning like he owns the place. The stairs going into the basement does not look safe at all. Sherri troweled the thin set in the shower vertically instead of horizontally.

My sister wanted to to replace a florescent 3ft light that died in her cellar. Half was finished this side wasn't. They had run pot lights on the finished side but the electric wire for that run was inside the florescent light fixture wire nutted but not part of the electrical connection for the 3ft fixture. So they used the housing as a junction box. Down the line before the next pot light there was 10ft of wire stuffed up in the rafters in a ball. The sad part was this was done by the previous owner an electrician.
To top that off the electrical panel wasn't even labeled. Mike Homes would not have liked this one for sure.

Any fix to a floor joist should have an engineered drawing. That drawing will show you size of lumber and type of adhesive. It will also show a size of nail and a nail pattern. It will likely also give you an option to use screws but will specify what screws are required. Regular screws will not suffice as they have no shear strength, it will need to be some sort of structural screw.

Couple quick little tips. Benjamin Moore makes a fire retardant paint like he used here that is white and can be tinted. They do limit the concentration of tint though. To help keep your stainless steel clean, use some NSF (kitchen safe) mineral oil and apply a light coat. If you use it light enough it wont feel oily, but will prevent fingerprint marks and make it easier to clean.

Oh my goodness. The dryer line used to be as duct wostk. What a joke. They have insulated flex tube here that is garbage. Used under mobile homes for ducts. End up as vermin hotels. Nasty.

I've been in a house where the only shower was in the master bathroom. It was beyond uncomfortable to have to walk into their bedroom to shower.

They definitely didn't think about their kids future there.

[jays]

i would stick with a boiler vs forced hot air i think it is better heat

[elainerussell]

Mike didn't even brake a sweat !😮
