OT - Extreme Makeover Home Edition?
I don't know if you think the same way I do about this reality show?
I work for an architect firm and even the best designer here will take several days before making up his mind and finalize a project as simple as a bathroom remodel. Now we're talking of redesigning a complete house (and not a small one) for a client the designer(s) don't even know in the first place. Just the construction alone of a 300K$ is nearly impossible in a week even if you staff it with 10 000 workers. You reach a point where the number of worker becomes a nuisance and slows down the entire project. Plaster, paint, varnishes and all those products need time to dry too. I think this TV show lies to the public at least on one aspect: they have work prepared already before showing up at the door of the lucky family. The design and the construction dwgs are already made minus maybe a few details, the prefab house has been ordered already and ready to ship, etc. What do you guys believe? Cyberben |
