I was flipping channels last night and came across a program in which people are gutting homes and fixing them up to flip within 14 days.
Two questions:
#1) Can it be possible to do good quality work when rushed to 14 days to totally renovate a home, or should I feel sorry for the new owners?
#2) They were “spray painting” the bathroom tile with some sort of paint? What is that? I’ve never heard or seen that before. How can you paint bathroom tile? And the grout?

I saw that one too. My "favorite" part was where they filled in the hole where a swimming pool used to be with mulch and then covered it with "topsoil" (probably clean fill at best). Nothing like building a nice sinkhole into the backyard for the new owners.
Feel very sorry for the new owners (the flippers bought it for $65K, and sold it at auction for $135K).

NO.

I guess that is what you get for $135,000.00 these days. Smoke and mirrors.
The only thing thats good about that job is the guys wife.
Wow! You're not kidding!
Are you guys saying she might have been "High Maintanance"?Now you know why the smoke and mirrors!;)

Is this the one?View Image
I kinda like the chick on 'sell this house'. There is usually some point in the show where's she has to jump up and down while wearing a tight top. High point of the show.

BOB! Are you kidding me, who'd a thunk it.
I guess I just dont know what I'm missing out here. Every once in a while I hear tales of things going on in the Tav and think I should go back in, then I come to my senses.

14 days? That's a new twist on the theme. The one's I've been watching are where they buy a 2 bedroom bungalow for 600k, replace the kitchen, then sell it for 1.2 million 6 months later.
As far as I can tell, the only place that makes any sense is in LA.
Never made any sense, even in LA. It is all part of the housing bubble that is now bursting.
How is the bathroom tile still on if they are gutting the house?

The rip down the wallboards in most rooms but leave the tile up in the bathrooms b/c "it's too expensive to replace" and just simply spray paint over the tile. I did look it up in the web, and I guess you can paint the tile professionally. New to me! I couldn't figure how you could bond the paint well enough to have it stay on.
I have an idea... how about a home improvement show with Shakira? or maybe Angelina Jolene?
