Mike's Transforms a Basement for Grieving Parents | Holmes Makes it Right 110

[@nightrunnerxm393]

I gotta give Kevin a lot of credit. It's not everyone who can start a job, realize they're in over their head and call for help. That, by itself, is a quality in short supply, but look at what happened because he did! That's someone who really does care about getting it done right, and it's good to see guys like him.

[@TCB1935]

God often sends the right people into our lives at the right time: Kevin in that person! God be with you, Kevin and Mike H.

[@dennismcdermott6964]

Kevin started the caring and thank God had enough humility to call wolf and say he needed help, hence the Big Gun....God does have a very methodical way about caring for us

[@toadhill9750]

That’s what true pros do! Mike does

[@TravellingwithRussell]

When your only 10 minutes in and tears are rolling down your face already. Wow!!

[@bobnero19]

One of the best Holmes productions of all time.....on many levels.

[@Dk-qf8dd]

Really cool that Mike and his crew got the students involved. The fact the teacher reached out to Mike… you don’t find many Ike that any more.

[@kayashmore4296]

I am very proud of this teacher & his students that have of themselves to show this family love. Hard work & professional help to mentor them is noted & appreciated. Thankful they cared & did something. They stepped up & showed up to get the job done to honor their fellow student. Thanks men!

[@MB-hc2xw]

Kevin... super nice guy. Cool to see people helping those in need.

[@KarleneE]

This episode was gold! I cried happy and sad tears. God bless the family, and every single person who showed up and stepped up.

[@davidmspinelli8951]

Without a doubt this was the best video Mike and his crew has ever produced in my opinion. The love that was displayed, especially from the kids who obviously wanted to give back and learn at the same time was amazing. The time capsule idea simply blew my mind. AWESOME IN ALL WAYS!

[@jays106]

this one actually got me a bit chocked up so awesome that the teacher and students wanted to do this

[@quinnabun1173]

This beautiful gorgeous family deserves this so so so very much 💜 How humble and gracefully great full they were.Thank you to each& everyone of you that made this all happen ❤

[@jamesmoss8312]

Mike, Mike Jr, Sherry, Damon, & Kevin, I have not seen anything this heartfelt and impactful since New Orleans. Please all of you keep on doing what you do & pass on the right way of doing it right to the next generation so that they can pass on the doing it right philosophy to future generations.

[@Faruk651]

I am very happy for the family. They needed this. This episode was filmed in 2012. Holmes claimed the cost for repairs and Reno was $160k +his crew‘S labor. In 2012, you could buy a really nice house for $180-200k. Mind blowing.

[@patsgarage8593]

No, not in the Toronto area. Other places in the country absolutely

Not good show that doesn't change much at all

Stories like this is what got me into watching Mike and his team and the reason I kept watching his shows.

[@adriannehamilton2866]

I've watched Holmes since the beginning. And learning so much. Like them all. However, this is my favorite episode. Teaching the younger generations is key. Your son is your angel . 😇 Blessings all around.

[@bugtusslealien3931]

WOW, I couldn't imagine losing a son or daughter!! I don't think i would ever get over the loss. She's really reaching down deep to show a courageous face.😢

[@elosefast]

I love the Make it Right show cause Mike goes to the extreme to help people, seems like the production let him spend whatever he wanted for these people so it makes the show that much more entertaining

[@beverlydust5381]

The show had a budget for each episode, but some of the subs donated their time and Mike Holmes has a foundation to help people in need.

[@urzaserra256]

@@beverlydust5381 Yep, theres probably a per season and per episode budget, theres almost certainly a lot of negotiation between the homeowner, mike holmes and crew and tv network on each episode. There is probably allowances for issues that are found that are not known at the initial inspection(mold/asbestos/lead paint etc). On some of the earlier shows especialy holmes on homes it looked like mike holmes saved a lot on certain episodes and that likely allowed him to spend more on others.

[@beverlydust5381]

@urzaserra256 The home owner's insurance company may also provide some of the money, Mike Holmes might may have negotiated a deal with certain companies that there name would be mentioned on the show, like electricians, and the plumbing and the heating company ,foundation and in the ending credits of each show..

[@sandybryan4117]

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. this episode!! Having the second generation helping was a terrific thing! Real world problems!! And solutions. Great job!

Start to finish - amazing and so full of love and good will. I will watch this one more than once. Thank you Mike Holmes for your heart for humanity. I guess this is why I watch nearly every episode. God bless you for blessing others.

[@charlesemerson6763]

This video and 'Lein on Me" are the two most heartwarming jobs he's done and to get all those kids involved was awesome.

[@dougvanausdal3162]

WOW. Its amazing to see all the kids care so much. This is a lesson in life that schools just can't teach. All the young guys hear will become so much better in there lives and everyone who knows them will be better because of the young man who are learning about how to care about the things they will do in there future. They have a great teacher in Kevin he is a of a kind. All the people involved in this one deserves a metal

[@amirharris473]

Mike this was one of the Greatest Episode Made. God bless!

Even if some of those kids don't become contractors, they will be the best DIYers around. Love this video. Teaching skills and respect, care and honour. What an amazing deserving family.

[@johncamp7679]

How heart felt were those messages from the friends, I could feel it deep down. What a perfect way to place the grief and pain into something that you can actually see and touch and have it turned into the complete opposite of how it started out.

God bless this family and all of you, a million fold. Thank you for being so vulnerable and grateful. We love you. Yes, we all need each other.

This is the very best of Mike Holmes and crew. Thank you

[@johnnieangel99]

This episode is deserving of a deep dive. I would love to see a more in depth episode even if it took two videos to put it all in. I am so pleased that Mike got the students involved. The future needs kids who wish to know these things. You are a good man Kevin for knowing your limitations and calling the best possible man to help this family.

[@amirharris473]

Kevin is a True Patriot!

[@rayvoorhies7180]

I would watch a Holmes show that featured Mike working with a high school VoTech class. Perhaps three or four episodes. A couple students could focus on working with the Plumber. Others learning framing. Electrical. Then use a different school VoTech for the 2nd half of the season. It could be interesting and great experience for students.

[@janteve6509]

I love this idea! I would watch the students learn and see the results.

[@philipkroker]

My brother recently moved from Manitoba to Ontario, he has been framing for almost 20 years. None of the homes he has worked on in Ontario would pass inspection in Manitoba, and when he pointed out some of the defects to the boss he was laughed off. "They don't get paid enough to care." He's quitting framing because he can't work like that with a clean conscience.

Not a fan of sump pumps. Best to avoid whenever possible. Risk of motor burnout and more commonly power failures. Battery backup is an option, but then another component to maintain.

[@prcervi]

wasn't really an option here

[@rickharris4579]

I’ve got to say I’ve watched Mike Holmes shows since the beginning. And the one thing that is a constant is the people that buy these homes & or use these contractors are MORONS!!!! You can clearly see these houses are a train wreck before they bought them.

[@SandraNelson063]

Not everyone has the knowledge to look for and see the problems before they buy or rent. My grandad built houses when he wasn't mining. So my Dad picked up a lot of know how about proper building. He could go through a property and decide if it was a good home or not.
