Help! I Wrecked My House

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.

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.

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.

The other reviewer must not have their chill pill. I do not find her annoying at all. It's the show's concept and her job to fix screw-ups done by homeowners who haven't a clue how to fix up their house. Of course she's going to be critical.

I find the show watchable and just fine, thank you very much.

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.
