I saw this episode.
I was relating to them at first – their first contractor abandoned the job. That happened to us… it is a very expensive and demoralizing thing to have happen. But then they were talking… they had no job (neither of them), we’re living in a “motel” that looked like a very nice small beachfront cottage. (Not cheap.) They had no money but were insisting on super high end finishes. They were in full denial that this wasn’t go to be their house when it was done.
At the end, they’re living in a trailer in a friends house… and still in denial. At some point, you get a job, any job.
