As you can see from these two photos, our bathrooms are still stuck in the 60's when Gold and Green were The THING.... they are both 5 x 10 in size and have all three things NEEDED....
I love HGTV but I do have a few rants.....about a few of my favorite shows...
House Hunters:
Couple looking for a new home, tight budget Long List of MUST HAVES.
Male/Female will walk into a bathroom the size of my second bedroom and say ... "this is so SMALLLLL". and I have to have MARBLE and I hate those lights.
I shout GET REAL.... you are on a budget of 125,000 ... what do you intend to DO in that bathroom...just how much time do you spend in a bathroom?
Another favorite "I know we said we are downsizing but 1800 sq feet is just not big enough, Plus, there is just NOT enough Closet Space....
I yell.... YOU SAID you are downsizing? that means get rid of what will not fit in the new place....
Note: I am not against big homes or bathrooms so if you have one, don't get mad at me... it is the BUDGET part and that they want more than they can afford.
two more shows.. and I will stop...I could go on for HOURS
First Sale... they are selling there first home to get bigger and better because she is pregnant with first child and they only have 1600 square feet and it is FULL.... We just can't bring a child into this crowded space.
I yell at them. What?I raised my kids in a 3/1 that was 900 square feet. Bob raised 3 kids in a 980 sq feet and we had plenty of room...
First Sale.. they are buying their first home.
I nearly split my sides laughing.. She decided the one bedroom in DC was not big enough if they want to have a family.
She says to her hubby, I quit my job to get one making more money so we will qualify for a larger home. If we sell this one bedroom condo, we can get 150,000 to put with our savings and have 200,000 to pay down on a bigger home...
YIKES! I am thinking, Lady get the job FIRST....and I was right. by the end of the show, the condo they listed sold and closed in 30 days and they did not qualify to buy anything even with 200,000 down because she had NO JOB....
He said, "don't worry, we will be OK, we can move in with YOUR parents until you find a job. They did move in and 6 weeks later she found a job, but guess what? the area they wanted to live in, there old neighborhood, the houses were WAY above what they could afford. It went off the air with them
still with Mom and Dad and me howling with laughter and shouting
IDIOTS!
Which one of you just said "well why do you watch them MadSnapper?"
BECAUSE I LOVE THEM... makes me feel so wise and smart and GOOD
