  How lucky is Sherry. Having Mike as a Dad means not only learning construction from the best, but also learning how to be a good human being.

  My wife and I wanted to buy a house. It needed a lot of work. We put money down with a purchase agreement dependent on a home inspection. The inspector came and asked us for $300 for the inspection. A half hour later he said &quot;don&apos;t buy this house, I am only going to charge you $150&quot;. That is a home inspector. We didn&apos;t buy the house.

  The construction company that built that house certainly dropped the ball! <br>Why did they leave all of those empty spaces above the garage and in the attic?

  Always interesting seeing the difference in building techniques and materials across the pond.

  You find a void between the bathroom and the outside wall, why not eliminate the void and give that space back to the house? &nbsp;Right after I ask the question, Damon answers it. &nbsp;But the real reason is that it was cheaper to go their way.

  No one sees all of the work behind the walls. &nbsp;Boy that is right. &nbsp;When I did my last house, fully insulating the bedroom walls(exterior and interior), individual electric circuit to each bedroom, 6 ml vapor barrier, drywall, baseboard and paint. &nbsp;$2000 in materials and the only thing you see in the room is $300 in drywall and $50 in paint.

  The fact he says &quot;I personally guarantee it.&quot; and you know he means it! &nbsp;Love that.

  I remember seeing this house when the episode first aired and my question is... Why did the builder build in that 3 foot gap instead of just making the bathroom 3 feet bigger? The entire bathroom issue was created because they created that 3 foot attic space instead of just pushing the wall out the rest of the way to the exterior wall and insulating like a exterior wall.

  after purchasing three houses (i know way to many times) we have found that you cannot trust home inspectors to do their job...

  So much work to fix something that should have been done right in the first place!<br>Unusual choice to tile the outside of the shower.<br>Going to need a couple of dehumidifiers in the basement, and maybe open those windows in the summer to air it out.
