Really enjoy Mike's shows
by Andy at 11/13/2009 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 hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 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 Sec328 at 11/13/2009 1:02:22 AM
Oh no...mould!
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:02:31 AM
The homes always look so nice, too.
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:03:32 AM
The little girl gets mirgraines? That's sad.
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:04:21 AM
I think the little girl is in fact the wife

"Everything looks good," said their inspector. Who else can you believe?
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:05:29 AM
Hi anonymous, that's a good point.
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:05:58 AM
Ooh special effects time!
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:06:33 AM

Mike always sounds -- and is -- irate with shoddy home inspections, rightfully so.
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:07:56 AM
Poor Kim, she needs a Holmes hug
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:08:11 AM
Wow, that's what they get!
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:09:10 AM
maybe Mike's msg is getting trru after all
by Sec328 at 11/13/2009 1:09:39 AM
hmmm... a little slow here tonight
by Sec328 at 11/13/2009 1:11:15 AM
I've noticed in previous episodes that you haven't been using DensArmor Plus drywall. Any specific reason?
by Josh at 11/13/2009 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 Dawn at 11/13/2009 1:11:40 AM
Hi Dawn, nice to see you again! This week it's Alicia :)
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 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.
by Dawn at 11/13/2009 1:15:33 AM
We take turns live blogging around these parts

Damon's takin' notes...
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 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 Shane at 11/13/2009 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. :(

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 hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:19:52 AM
I wonder what the estimate to fix this problems is at this point?
by Sec328 at 11/13/2009 1:20:35 AM
Jo-Ann T. You can look for Mike's book about home inspections ow.ly
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:22:29 AM
That was a long list of fixes he just ran down
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:23:35 AM
Yes, check all the drains! And tree roots, you never know when they're in your pipes
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:24:12 AM
re roof vent: what about with there's a foot of snow?
by ME at 11/13/2009 1:24:20 AM
Gross, that's a good thing?
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:24:35 AM
It's just stuffed with towels?!
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:25:47 AM
DIY Insulation can't be a good idea
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:26:01 AM
now where is my towle?
by Sec328 at 11/13/2009 1:26:23 AM
Electrocution? This house is getting more and more dangerous
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:26:26 AM
Lol @ anonymous
by hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 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 hgtvcanada at 11/13/2009 1:28:00 AM
Looking to be about $18K so far
by Sec328 at 11/13/2009 1:28:36 AM
its not just the inspectors. the realtors need to be trained to allow more time for the inspector
by Gerry at 11/13/2009 1:31:41 AM
Realtors also need to recommend trustworthy inspectors, not just their friends -- or not recommend at all.
by Dawn at 11/13/2009 1:33:34 AM
Both good points, Dawn and Gerry
