Help! I Wrecked My House

Some good stuff but some really annoying and frustrating. Why do they rip up a perfectly good solid wood floor in several rooms and replace it with vinyl just because it creates 'a good flow throughout the house'. Then they add a bunch of things the client didn't ask for, like spending $2000 on a slab of tree to make a door, then ring the client and tell them about an unforeseen 'issue' (there's always one in this formulaic program) and tell them they'll need to find another x thousand dollars. Why not just ditch the stupid unneeded extras no one asked for and do the job within budget.

Some of the best interior designs I've seen if you've got the money. Jasmine is personable. However most viewers won't catch the construction errors. Such as using galvanized pipe for gas. Or installing dangerous railing on a second story deck (rails going horizontally allowing kids to just climb up and over instead of using vertical balusters). Or poor window flashing (no sill pan flashing, caulking the bottom flange allowing water to get trapped, reverse lapping the bottom flashing (house wrap should go under the window flashing here not over it). Just about every show I see something. It's just sad that aesthetics are more valued here than building codes and good practice engineering.

Some of the people seem to honestly need help but at least half apart to have turn their houses apart so they can appear on the show. Are there really that many people out there who start one project, realize they are in over their heads, and just walk away and start another one? Repeatedly? Leaving holes in multiple walls and bare subfloors seems to be standard behavior for these people, bonus points for leaving exposed electrical and gas. And where do they find so many spouses that just say, "sure honey, leave the holes in our entry way walls and go work on taking out that arch you think might be load bearing instead"? The latter seasons get better with people knowing when to say when, or having reason to think they could tackle some of these projects, but the first season is stupid.

One of my favorites on HGTV. Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes in the previous reviews! Jasmine Roth is smart & very talented as well as kind. I hope this show continues.

I watch her stand around with a tool belt talking to the camera telling us what's (she's going to do ) for 10 minutes .she could of had most if it done if she worked AND talked.the show is designed to make you think she along with 1 other guy do all the work or a majority of it when we know they show them doing 25 sec clip of them working. ,then the camera stops and the crew does the rest I'm very tired of all design shows when choosing color they pick out of billions of colors over rated white.and every seat bedroom couch has 50 pillows..accent walls and wallpaper. Should be yesterday..if you edit out all the talking not working the show would be 40 minutes long. Also the wife's husband of the house has no say if any..he just goes along with wife. I've never seen people of color or any gay couples .I hope going forward jasmine stops all the talking and show us HER actually working and her crew..
