Help! I Wrecked My House

I like the show, and I don't think Jasmine is rude to her clients, she's just direct. I think the formula of the show is fine, it follows the standard home improvement formula that is so common. I'm not too picky, I love watching before and after home transformations. For me it's mostly about the visuals and I can mostly ignore the cheesy scripted dialogue. What I don't like about the show is that Jasmine always takes all the credit. She says "I did this" and "I did that" or "I have to do this or that", when in fact it's a crew of talented workers actually doing most of the work. I get that she is the one executing the vision, but I really think she should give credit where credit is due and stop sayin "I" and start saying "we" or "the crew and I". I would also like to see Jasmine working with more contractors and tradespeople of color. It's all very white. Including the clients. Let's see some more people of color included in this show.

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.

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..

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.

I Love the show. All these men hating on a female builder is rediculous. She's telling them what they did was super dangerous. Yes she is real with them. She's a carpenter first. She's about the business. Im not into these shows normally but love this one. These bitter people in the ratings need to chill. My only complaint is all the white. Not every single episode goes over budget. I think the show gets better after she has the baby though. You can't please everybody i guess. I thought it was a new take on these shows. Showing the damaged house. She also tries to help rebuild the diy confidence in people during the episode. I love that she lets them enter alone an look around before she shows them things. Good show. Wrote the review because these other reviewers bashed her because she's female and that's dumb. She's not rude, she's serious when she needs to be serious.
