    Does anyone out there watch the show? The one with Barry the Architect and his Magic Mac?

    Just wondering if anyone else is puzzled by HOW he can present plans for an entire home remodel – “we added a new master suite/bath, six bedrooms and a new kitchen with granite counters, upgraded cabinets, a Viking stove, SubZero and STILL came in UNDER your $35K budget!!”

    OK, that’s an exaggeration. His ideas are interesting, but the cost estimates seem wildly unreaslistic.

    Thoughts?

    Most of those shows are just bullshiite.

    EVEN if you do the general contracting yourself you could never do all that for under 35k that they propose. Funny how they don’t do a line item budget.

    Not to mention regional differences in contractor/labor costs.

    They also show the places fully furnished – and I assume that’s not included.

    I just think it’s very misleading.

    These shows all seem like house porn to me–fun to watch, maybe, but not really that realistic.
