“When I was 11-12, I lived a few houses down from a house that got on a home renovation show that promised to redo the house in just a week. In reality, they were there for several months, and it was very hard to ignore their massive truck parked on such a narrow street for so long. I walked past it every day on my way to school.”
“Anyway, obviously I can’t speak for what the interior looked like, but the exterior was painted this vomit-green colour on only two sides of the house, the front and right sides, while the left and back sides were still left with their chipped white paint. They painted a very pretty picture during the episode, and the homeowners gave them fake-happy reactions. Really, they were pissed to be left with a half-finished house, not just on the outside, but the inside as well, because they only redid a few rooms. The owners eventually had the house repainted to a nice blue color outside and fixed a lot of the things that had been messed up on the inside.”
