Last nights episode was frustrating, two thirds of it was a recap of sunday nights episode after sunday nights episode was a two thirds a recap of the entire weeks episodes.

LOLz at Max and Karstan, early in the week having it "all under control" or so they thought and failed to finished. Living in LA LA land those two. Surely alarm bells were ringing when the cabinet maker said we will be right for mid next week, right then and there they had to put there foot down. At least Max put her foot down last night and gave him the heave ho.
 
Wtf is a "Karstan" btw. o_O

Someone who is afraid of confrontation. Seriously as a grown adult you need to be able to have a firm discussion with another adult if required. It was awkward and embarrassing for him last night, seeing him unable to have a chat to the cabinet maker.

o_O I thought Karstan was the girl.

And my post was in regards to the actual name. Quite strange.

haha. and then he was mocking tradie "hard seeing grown men cry"
 
Church and more church... I see why I'm not watching this series this year.

Back to channel surfing

lol 2 minutes of a religious couple at a church meeting in 2 weeks of TV and thats it, its all become too much for you?

The builder for the above mentioned church couple annoyed me, seemed like they were only arguing about where the shower should go because in one spot it was easier for them, not the type of builder you want on this project

Sacking the cabinet maker was a strange move imo. I tend to think people only make those mistakes once. Remember the day you were late to work? I bet you werent late any day for the month afterwards.

A simple "you really ****ed us, you really owe us, give us a discount" speech then just be on him for the next one and you should be fine. Maybe there was more to it and they really believed he wasnt capable of working to the time frames, but if it was a one off I think it can work in your favour having someone on your leash like that, rather than bringing in a new cabinet maker who could possibly make the same mistake or be a pain for a hundred other reasons

The builders are fairly boring (maybe the brothers builder has character), imo a good 'character' builder really makes the couple and the tv show in a way. Remember Goerges builder on Sky High? He was awesome, along with the twins builder in the same series.

The problem with the cabinet maker, he completely ignored them (well that's how the producers, max/karstan portrayed it) If he had of spoken to them and said, sorry i'm not going to make it, i will be there first thing Monday to install and lets get moving on the next project then he may of had a chance. I'm involved in the building industry and would of done exactly the same thing as Max/Karstan did. As well as paying him only his costs for the job.

The main issue with the shower is it's right next to the door and it's a wet area. Lot's of issues can arise as they have at my house because of a shower being too close to a door. It can be even more problematic if you have carpet and tiles side by side.

Cabinet maker was a w***er. You know what the show is about and the demands not answering for a day is out of line. I would be getting a reduced price and firing his ass as well.

George's builder was complete ******* w***er douchebag that acted like he was a contestant himself. Acting like he is gods greatest gift and shouldn't have to help for anyone.

the builders become part of the show, they get a decent amount of screen time and thats why a lot of them accept the horrible conditions theyre put under

so while theyre not contestants, theyre very much part of the show and its good when you have characters, whether you think theyre a douchebag or not
 
I see what you're saying but I was disappointed that for 2 lovely people in George and his Partner, they would choose such a prick for they're builder. The Twins builder they had the first time round was really good as well Chantelle and Steves (I think) last year.

and there it is. neil whittaker with words to the effect of "the best week one of the entire bloke".

as meaningful as "this olympics has been the best games ever".

Lol I call him Dwayne Russell of the judges.
Watch someone will have "the best bathroom EVER" tonight.
 
Dee voting down all the other rooms to help her win, in particular chris and jenna's bathroom. She was caught out when they wrote up each individual scores on the scoreboard.
 
this show used to sell itself as a renovation show. now with these twists and turns its nothing like that.

i had a meeting with beacon lighting recently who are very happy with their product placement

I caught a bit last night where someone was looking for a chair. Alas! Matt Blatt had it ! Of course. :rolleyes:

TBH Dee must be pretty thick skulled if she didn't think they would do that at some point.
 
Ok- so in this last week I've worked out Karstan (which sounds like Kristin) = the boy and Max (which sounds like Max as in a boys name but is Maxine) = girl. :oops::D

Only watched 2 ep's of this season but to my untrained eye it looks like Jolly doesn't want to be on here.

Or he's just as boring as bat shit.

That shower with the stairs looked bloody dangerous and no screen wtf.

the way the judges gushed and squirted all over that bathroom on first sight was disgusting. the steps should've been the first thing they saw and bagged.

wtf is with these hipster design shit where there's no shower screen/door? yeah water going everywhere!!!1!!!1111 great idea!

Yeah cleaning/mopping up after a shower in that bathroom would be annoying. And trying to get ready use the sink, etc when the floor's wet would be even more annoying..

Shell i stayed in a japanese owned hotel in taiwan once. the bathroom consisted of a japenese toilet (with all the buttons and stuff), large bath, basin. no shower curtain or door.

when i showered the entire bathroom got soaking wet. no amount of towels could save it! disgusting.
