It would be funny if it was not so sad. I often wonder how well built
the houses are on Extreme Makeover. It may be possible to build a house
in 7 days, but that does not mean it is smart to do so. It takes time to
install plumbing systems, etc, no matter how many people.

I have often wondered how well some of those quick rebuilds hold up. I
have seen some of the house flipping programs and in a week or two the
whole house has been rebuilt. Doesn't it take time for the plaster to dry
before painting ? Maybe more time for other things to setup such as the
floor tiles.



I have participated in more than one "Parade of Homes" or "Builder/Remodeler
Showcase" type of projects over the years.

Way to many people working too closely together to try and meet some
unrealistic deadline. I have installed drapery hardware over wall paper that
had only been on the wall for a literal minute. Witnessed so many shortcuts
being taken by others because of the need for speed.

My advice is to Never Ever buy one of those homes.



Haste makes waste !!!!
