I crack up at the shoddy workmanship that Mike Homes finds in the homes of the people that hire him to fix the screw ups. Are there that many bad contractors out there? Aren't there schools that teach the right way to do things? I'm not a builder by any means but I know enough that I wouldn't do it the wrong way. Some things are just common sense. Do any of these shaddy contractors have a lick of conscience among them? I'd like to find out who pays the bills behind the show since most of the victims have already spent all the money they had. Why does Canada still use English sized lumber? I wonder if any of the bad contractors have made threats against Mike Holmes for pointing out the flaws? What are some ways to deal with paying contractors? Does the " pay when finished and final inspection is done" fly with most?
