HGTV Sucks

Okay not really. I actually quite like HGTV, but am I the only one who finds herself screaming at the Property Brothers like pretty much every episode?

Property Brothers: “Well if you buy a house that’s $40,000 under budget then you can spend all of that money on renovations!”

Nope. You can’t. That’s not how this works. If the bank is so kind to lend you the money, they certainly won’t be throwing in another $40K to install that steam shower you’ve always wanted.

And House Hunters is the worst. Ugh. That show really drives me to drink.

Every couple on House Hunters: “Well the house is great but sigh. I HATE this paint color.”

Are you kidding me? You’re kidding me, right?

Even more obnoxious House Hunters couple: “Well I don’t like the layout of this room but that’s okay, we could knock out this wall, move this wall over here…”

No.

No.

No.

No.

NO!

Take it from an “expert” who’s owned exactly one house (so seriously, what do I know?), HGTV is full of &%$#.

A few kernels of wisdom for you.

You can’t renovate a kitchen in six weeks and you especially can’t renovate a kitchen, living room, bathroom AND master bedroom in six weeks. That is beyond ridiculous.

Moving and removing walls is INCREDIBLY expensive and at times impossible if you desire a house that actually stands upright.


Oh, and not everyone wants granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Stop the madness, HGTV!

    1. I watched one last night about a woman with a toilet phobia... like she couldn't buy a house unless the toilet was closed off in a separate room. Her husband was even more of a freak show. Where do they find these people?
