Lolol! I watched last nights show where the Minnesota couple moved to Roatin(sp). They got the house that you could only reach by boat. No roads, no nothing. Very secluded. Beautiful but secluded. I'd have been scared to live there. No one can get to you easily in an emergency and you can't get out easily in one. I just don't like the idea of being so far away from a hospital, firehouse, police, etc.

Mocha, I caught this one last night. It was a beautiful house but you wouldn't catch me living somewhere I could only get to by boat. I'd of been living in the house with the infinity pool.

I watched the Rome HH and it just dawned on me that most of the European homes have their washers and dryers in the kitchen. The Rome apts or condos were so small though.

I love Changing Rooms...worlds better than Trading Spaces. The Paige woman, Ty the carpenter, and the lady carpenter always grated on my nerves.

Paige and Ty are gone. AmyWynn is only on once in a while. Faber is on a lot (he's pretty hot).

Anyone notice how most all of these renovation type shows (designed to sell, flip this house, etc.) always make it seem so "easy" to not only remodel stuff, but that the money is always recouped (and then some)? The only show that seems "real" to me is BUY ME. That one is so different from the rest.

Me too. Ones that have stayed on the market and ate into the profit. I think one person I saw barely broke even.

BUY ME seems so much "darker." I have seen several "Flips" that didn't do so well, but they were at least close to breaking even. Or the owner was forced into a "plan B" like renting it out. But compared to some of the "Buy Me" episodes, the Flips are more encouraging. I actually like the Buy Me's cuz they are just so different from the rest...

I like Flip This House just because it makes me happy to live in Texas where the house prices are so much less! I can't believe what people get for a hole in the wall in California. 1/2 million for a 1300 sf? YIKES!

There was one house,I forget where, it was totally moldy (literally) I mean disgusting with mold. It was probably about 1000 sq. ft. and I think he bought it for over $585,000.00. That was before the flip. Crazy. I forgot what it was worth after, but it was in horrendous condition before. They really should have just torched the place and started from scratch.

Or the guy that bought the one room house and then added on about twice as many square feet...I guess that's the price you pay for living in California. Beauty hurts!

Hah they've got a new designer on Hidden Potential. Wonder if they got rid of Barry or he's just taking a vacation.

Does anyone watch Designed to Sell? I think the show has great ideas but when they show prices of lighting, furniture and bathroom fixtures, I wonder where they are getting these things for the low prices. Also, labor for them is free and for those of us that can't do it ourselves, labor cost more than supplies nowadays.

I do and I agree Geri. Home Depot does have some great lighting reasonably priced but like you said you also have to consider labor.
