Good Bones

I really have to hand it to these two young women. They work magic in restoring unlivable abodes into useful home again. The one thing I don't like is this trend to make kitchens a corner of the living room. Every cook knows kitchens are work rooms. I'll be so happy when this fad is over.

Good Bones has always been on my list of favourite Reno shows until recently. Mina's undermining of Karen and the lack of respect she shows her mother and her knowledge has made me cringe too many times. Karen, as the founder of the company, now feels shut out by her daughter and the tension between them is so obvious. Mina comes across as condescending and arrogant and as it seems she is taking on a stronger leadership role on the show, I will no longer watch!

These ladies are awesome, funny, powerful, and talented! Their whole team is talented and hilarious. They make renovation fun to watch.

As the show goes on, it's sub-par. At first I enjoyed the show, it had great foundation with a mother daughter duo. As the show goes on the quality is decreasing, cutting corners and lackluster. Mina is rude and disrespectful. Karen is a sweet and artistic. The finish is overall meh, with all the unfinished work, rushed and carelessness. There isn't a single episode that I have seen that wasn't full of flaws in the finish work, gaps in tile, missing grout. Roofing over bad shingles, there's so many things I could name in each episode, but we don't have time for that. Cheap contractors lacking in quality and a monarch as a supervisor just spells disaster for this show. Don't expect it to last much longer. Sorry Mina but your disappointing.

The details for the cast photos are incorrect - they should be reversed and the references to spouses is correct for Mina. Otherwise I enjoy the show as it is closer to real life than other similar reno shows.
