Really enjoy Mike's shows
by Andy11/13/2009 1:01:22 AM
Mike Holmes has done more than anyone else to explain all the facets of home renovation and to make it understandable to lay people. He is fantastic.

Hi Andy!
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:01:54 AM
Mike's shows are really enjoyable. They could be improved by providing more (any!) info about the time and cost of the various tasks.

For instance, when a bathroom is renovated, spend some time describing the time and cost to tear-out, rebuild, install, moving plumbing, cost of fittings, etc
by Sec32811/13/2009 1:02:22 AM
Oh no...mould!
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:02:31 AM
The homes always look so nice, too.
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:03:32 AM
The little girl gets mirgraines? That's sad.
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:04:21 AM
I think the little girl is in fact the wife
by Sec32811/13/2009 1:04:46 AM
"Everything looks good," said their inspector. Who else can you believe?
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:05:29 AM
Hi anonymous, that's a good point.
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:05:58 AM
Ooh special effects time!
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:06:33 AM

Mike always sounds -- and is -- irate with shoddy home inspections, rightfully so.
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:07:56 AM
Poor Kim, she needs a Holmes hug
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:08:11 AM
Wow, that's what they get!
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:09:10 AM
maybe Mike's msg is getting trru after all
by Sec32811/13/2009 1:09:39 AM
hmmm... a little slow here tonight
by Sec32811/13/2009 1:11:15 AM
I've noticed in previous episodes that you haven't been using DensArmor Plus drywall. Any specific reason?
by Josh11/13/2009 1:11:26 AM
Just logging in quickly (actually at a conference, not watching Holmes) - Anon thx for that link. Good to see scammy inspectors having to pay up.
by Dawn11/13/2009 1:11:40 AM
Hi Dawn, nice to see you again! This week it's Alicia :)
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:14:25 AM
Hi Alicia - wow, there's a lot of you that man this account :) When I get back to Canada I'll have to check this episode out online.

We take turns live blogging around these parts
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:16:00 AM
Damon's takin' notes...
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:18:40 AM
Its horrible what these home inspectors miss.The Chimney was a great fix it looked awsome when it was done. Keep up the great work guys,your quality of work is what i set as a goal everyday.
by Shane11/13/2009 1:19:38 AM
Love the new show. Wish Mike had a "Ask Mike" service for those of us not living in TO. I live in the boondocks and have not been able to find a local "contractor"who can tell me what to do about cracks in my basement floor and walls. :(
by Jo-Ann T.11/13/2009 1:19:48 AM
Major shock hazard, after the commercial. It must feel like you've just been completely duped, I can' t imagine being worried your home is harming your kids.
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:19:52 AM
I wonder what the estimate to fix this problems is at this point?
by Sec32811/13/2009 1:20:35 AM
Jo-Ann T. You can look for Mike's book about home inspections ow.ly
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:22:29 AM
That was a long list of fixes he just ran down
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:23:35 AM
Yes, check all the drains! And tree roots, you never know when they're in your pipes
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:24:12 AM
re roof vent: what about with there's a foot of snow?
by ME11/13/2009 1:24:20 AM
Gross, that's a good thing?
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:24:35 AM
It's just stuffed with towels?!
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:25:47 AM
DIY Insulation can't be a good idea
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:26:01 AM
now where is my towle?
by Sec32811/13/2009 1:26:23 AM
Electrocution? This house is getting more and more dangerous
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:26:26 AM
Lol @ anonymous
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:27:06 AM
I wonder if these home inspectors actually think they've done a good job -- can there really be so many crooks?
by hgtvcanada11/13/2009 1:28:00 AM
Looking to be about $18K so far
by Sec32811/13/2009 1:28:36 AM
its not just the inspectors. the realtors need to be trained to allow more time for the inspector
by Gerry11/13/2009 1:31:41 AM
Realtors also need to recommend trustworthy inspectors, not just their friends -- or not recommend at all.
by Dawn11/13/2009 1:33:34 AM
Both good points, Dawn and Gerry
