I have had to turn TV off while I work, as I was getting angry.

They do all these shows about the cowboy traders and then MAKE a program that practically employs the same people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have 2 or 3 days (wasn't pay that much attention" to add 15k value to a house or they don't get paid. One of the rooms is a bit of a state, so they skim it and are going to paint the day after. They are going to dry it using heaters.

Look at the picture below.....he couldn't even be arsed to take the light switch off first!!!!

I'll bet there is copious amounts of vasaline and quick moving pan shots when they do the 'end result' and amazingly have added 20k of value....minimum.

And another 'benefit' of these shows is that they give some customers the most awe-inspiringly stupid expectations of how quick a job can be done.

They have a lot to answer for :angryfire:

You mean you can't single handedly add 20k (yes, it was 20k of value apparently) of value to someones house in 3 days?

To be fair, I could have added another 15k with a wrecking ball with the sh*t they done.

I always think back to that laurence llwel....whatever his name was, when he made his name by making that woman cry with his hideous creation.

Tought titties really, what do you expect getting them into your house? I'd rather get wasted and smeer my own faecal matter on the walls.

They would call that art in some places I imagine.

Sounds like my teenage years drinking Gin and Benylin at weekends. :tongue3:
