[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3315458, member: 44288"] That's why I cannot stand flippers. They hurt the first time homeowner that is handy with his hands and could use a fixer upper. The flipper usually puts back builder's grade tile, carpet, flooring, etc to cheapen the remodel so it looks good. At least the plumbing and electrical have to be done according to code. There is a show on TV that shows people walking through other people's houses commenting upon their decorating tastes and usage of spaces. It torques my nut to no end seeing these shallow minded people not even looking at the house they are just looking at the furnishings and dated appearance. They cannot see the potential of the house because of their expectations of hotel type furnishings that have to be devoid of any appearance of being lived in. No personal photographs on shelves, no books, no personal collections, just sterile shelving with vases on them. TV's are never the focal point in the room as they are in real life. The fireplace no one uses all year long is always the focal point and the seating is always favoring it. Anyway after they "stage" the house they re run all the previous idiots and they all make better comments on the house usually ending in offers to buy. I gotta watch this stuff because the wife does. Makes me wanna puke. [/QUOTE]
