Stuff like this should be taught in high school, as a basic life skill. Because we all need to know about this stuff. Its such a sweet little house. I see why she loves it. I would.

[@nightrunnerxm393]

It used to be. Right up until about the late '80s, all of this was taught. At least the basics. But then it got pitched for "safety" reasons...actually, money reasons. This stuff's expensive to get materials and tools for, which means it's an expensive class to maintain in our current highly-administered but strangely cash-strapped school system.

[@Frankenstein_]

Let's be honest here the Schoolsystem in most Countrys is utter dogshit you learn crap that you never need EVER instead of learning how to do your taxes how to spot small problems in your Home that if fixed right away prevent them from becoming life altering disasters. If the Schoolingsystem would teach taxes and basic construction knowledge like structur, plumbing and electrical the world would be turned upside down cause all those con artists would lose their minds since they can't fool anyone anymore.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

The lessons Mike Holmes taught me: 1. If you're going to do potentially major work on your home, know what you're doing, and if you don't know what you're doing, hire a professional. 2. Professionals like contractors and inspectors have an ethical (perhaps not legal) responsibility to inform the homeowner what the problem is, what must be done, etc., and whether out of greed or desperation, they should never take advantage of the general ignorance of those who aren't in the industry. 3. There is no shortage of con artists who are more than happy to make a quick buck off of a desperate homeowner or buyer.

[@TLM-Nathan]

I'll add to your first point. "1. If you're going to do potentially major work on your home, know what you're doing, and if you don't know what you're doing, hire a professional and budget at least twice what you've originally planned to spend."

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

@@TLM-Nathan Also be very cautious about paying anything in advance. The number of episodes that start with some one hiring a contractor that took the money and ran is so sad. I would even go so far to say hire some kind of home inspector after the job to ensure the contractor did everything properly and up to code.

[@theloredaughter]

[@mikemmikem2758]

Based on Mike's other videos on Making It Right in almost every occasion the homeowner did get a home inspection but they were all pis-poor so making someone feel more guilt is pretty bad. Home Inspectors should be certified and licensed!! and there should be a law that people can put a lien on them when they screw up.

[@denisegaylord382]

In some of his newer videos they talk about it. But like any skilled trade, experience in the field is key. There are so many fly by night certification programs that just rubber stamp applicants. Remember too, that home inspections are a fairly new thing in the terms of construction/ real estate. In my area it's really only been the last 30 years or so. And it's still up to the buyer to set that up and pay for it. So the adage buyer beware still applies. And the young lady admits that she should have gotten one. Lessons learned.

@@denisegaylord382 I watched the behind the scenes of how the show is made: 🧭 I think that they should FOCUS on one house at a time, with no set deadline for finishing. There are always issues uncovered, as they go, so set deadlines are too stressful for them, and mean unusually long hours, even for construction work. Fatigue could lead to a bad accident. 🧭🧭 The principles of combat photography should be used: the camera operator films what they can, when they can. No retakes. No making a worker do the same action, over and over, again. 🧭🧭🧭 This way, one house might require more than one episode, but it would be less stressful for Mike and his workers. They wouldn't have to work crazy hours in order to make a fixed reveal time.

[@neilprice513]

So all the water issues actually were a "good thing" for once. The issues led Mike finding out that the house was riddled with Asbestos and that can get fixed before it becomes a health risk to the homeowner

[@richardm6704]

Asbestos, when left fully alone, is not a risk. It is only when it is allowed to break into its fibres that it can cause mesothelioma or silicosis if inhaled. Only asbestos used outside, such as in old vinyl siding, is considered an imminent risk because UV will break down the vinyl over time, which releases the fibres. If you don't have to touch it, it is safe. ETA: that vermiculite in the ceiling should be removed ASAP as well

[@Susanne-v7w]

Wow! Great to have "completed" perfectly! BRAVO!!!

[@FHES2005]

Enjoy watching your show and your crew. As an owner of a electrical company and plumbing company in upstate New York.

I actually took a home inspectors course cause I thought about becoming an home inspector but I find it more fun and exciting to do the repairs then to take pictures and fill out reports.

I understand there was a lot of work that needed to be done, things needed to be changed, and although the work was as always top tier and top notch, I feel they ruined the look of the home. The stucco is out of place for the neighborhood and time period of the house. If it was in a southwest region, stucco would been a great choice and would have fit in just about any neighborhood, but here it just doesn’t seem to fit. I’m always amazed the homeowner did not want some sort of cover over the front or back entry. Unlocking your doors in the rain sucks

Years and years of being a house flipper's dream by the looks of it. Lot of surface paint jobs, and other quick fix works to cover up issues.

[@Thingys-Jill]

Even with an inspection not everything will be found. For example, the Inspector found that the 2 year old new roof was never sealed and one vent didn't have a boot/sleeve (or whatever it's called). The inspector did not find all the electrical issues in the walls, or that the furnace was about to die, or that there was water damage under the crappy vinyl plank, and never mentioned that the plumbing pipe in the crawl space was probably going to need replacing and the shut-off didn't work. Still, ALWAYS have an inspection and seriously consider paying extra to have your sewer lines videotaped. If you have a septic system, then definitely get that inspected because if it needs replacing, it's major. Fortunately, my house was built in 1990, so I didn't have an asbestos worry, but if you're buying an older home that was built when asbestos products were used, pay to have it inspected for asbestos or pay $20,000 (or more) to have the asbestos removed. Seems worth the inspection!

The sellers knew thetr was asbestos in this house. Thats why they only accepted her offer AFTER she took the inspection out of it. Even if it had been inspected, they would have missed it. They wouldn't have looked under the insulation. And tiles were covered. I think most inspectors are in the realtors pockets anyway. This girl was in a no win situation. Its actually a blessing that the foundation leaked or she could have lived there for years with it... Possibly breathing in the particulates in the attic.

to be honest, the tile floors would be just fine if not for the water issues. i had similar tile in my basement right on the concrete slab. i installed a plastic barrier, underlayment then a floating floor. problem solved. the attic is the real issue, but only if you mess with it, which they have to to add venting. i missed if the plaster contained any.

They almost rebuilt half the house and the cost was possibly at least half of what she paid for the house. Most of the issues were not visible in their magnitude without destructive investigation, which a home inspector would not have done. Many issues were covered up by renovations, possibly on purpose. Even for the homebuyer it took months for the issues to manifest. She was truly blessed to be selected for a Holmes episode.

[@Marlenesgardens]

It’s not a free rebuild. The homeowner has to pay.

[@ChristianWagner888]

@@Marlenesgardens if you listen to some of the interviews with Holmes you will find out that the production budget included much of the money needed for the renovations "to make it right", additionally some of the companies donate services or products and on occasion Holmes has spent his own money. Therefore the homeowners pay very little, if anything. On the very old Holmes on Homes shows you can see that their budget was much more limited, while on the more recent shows they had a generous budget that allowed them to do some things that went beyond the essentials, but made for good television.

[@kyleanschuetz208]

I enjoy this show, but Mike does exaggerate items. 1) asbestos in tile underneath another flooring system poses a very low risk, especially if the tile is n good condition (not friable). 2) the vermiculite insulation, they didn’t say if it tested positive, but assuming it is, the EPA recommends leaving it alone and not disturbing it. I applaud them for safely removing it, but it was not needed. 3) the big thing to learn from this video is to be incredibly skeptical of any home with a finished basement. The older the home the more likely their is water leaking into the basement. It is also very rare that a basement conversion was done the correct way with exterior water sealing. 4) obviously you should get a home inspection from a third party who doesn’t have a relationship with local realtors. The realtors do not want home inspection to stop home sales, so if they have a strong relationship with the realtor they’re more likely to not look for items that would scuttle the sale. I’m not anti the show or Mike, but it is a show ad they obviously want to make it look like every home is about to fall and am extreme health hazard.

[@Nick-ue7iw]

If you watched the episode, you'd know the reason the attic was removed was because they needed to run vents, which would disturb the material. The tile was separating from the floor and needed removed regardless.

We had them removed and only the furnace gets the gas so far. If, and when we are able to, I'd like the contractors to come in and lower the basement floors and put in new concrete blocks, and insulate them, plus add rebar to each level. Our land supposly shakes, due to explosions, with the oil companies around here. So, I'm all for doing it better than it's now. Plus, the roof needs new stuff. My garage becomes a bake oven, in most of the year, with the sun shinning down. I've one, work room, but no storage. Going to keep looking to expand, but not being able to do anything now, except dream of what we wanted our final home to look at. But, I'm always amazed on what can be done with the right boss.
