Frozen Homes & Dreams: Shayne & Lorelee's Cozy Nightmare | Holmes Inspection S126

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Shayne and Lorelee thought they had found a trouble-free family home and fell in love with its four bedrooms, big backyard, cozy family room, and even a spare bedroom in the basement. Their home inspection found only minor concerns so they went ahead and used their savings on a new kitchen. Now they have cold feet... literally; as their family room and two of their bedrooms are freezing! To make matters worse, their kitchen contractor pointed out the windows were leaking so much water, the drywall beneath was crumbling in his hands. They need Mike Holmes to do a Holmes Inspection, and Damon and the crew to help them fall in love with this house all over again.

I love Martin Wroblewski. Exemplifies the modern tech-savvy contractor who can still do old-school when needed.
I shake my head. Some of the issues you can see with the naked eye. If it looks like a duck, barks like a dog, and say's it's a cat, run. They admit they questioned things even after the inspector said it was fine. If you have questions, run!
Another Family, another House. Turned into HOME via Mike Holmes & Crew. May God Bless You ❤❤❤
there are problems obviously cause I'm here love it
Always be scared of a "finished basement". I swear it's the biggest trick house flippers use. Do a bad job renovating the basement, basically just put down a floor and some dry wall and call it good. People think they effectively got another floor to their home and ignore the fact it's not a livable space because it's viewed in the summer and all the problems start in the winter.
ALWAYS LOOK FOR HEAT AND ELECTRIC OUTLETS IT CANT BE CALLED FINISHED WITHOUT IT.
With how much Mike Holmes shows that home inspectors miss, It sounds like
1. Home Inspectors should be held liable for stuff they miss.
2. Home Inspectors need go to school.
3. Are home inspectors even worth it?
Generally using your own inspector is a good idea.
In indiana we have to be certified and take CEU classes every year. The problem is buyers will use an inspector that is recommended and works with the real estate agent. I have personally seen a good inspector lose lots of business because realtors labeled him as a deal killer.
Taking pictures of things that are wrong with the house is a good idea. Pictures of the progress seems like an ideal to provide proof of what has been done and done right
i would love to meet all the Holmes, the crew and be able to come along to a "home" for a preliminary inspection for what failed the inspector, then to be able to follow along in person for the transformation of the house to a home
All of Holmes' videos are Amazing since 2002! It's like bringing in your old car for an Oil Change, and being told you need new valves for the engine, and recharging the AC, and the power steering, windows and power brakes need new seals, and you got a lot of Rust. jeezzz. ... but the Rear View mirror is ok.
I still find it inconceivable that you pay a home inspector who has absolutely no idea what to do.
I really hope that they can hold this person liable for the many defects he has missed.
I dont think they can be held accountable for anything
@@durakisCorrect
Depends on the jurisdiction. In my state, some of the stuff the inspectors have missed rises to the level of incompetence and can possibly be criminal it's so bad
I really enjoyed this one. One video I watched I said I do not want a house. It scared me so bad because there are scammers and they are allowed to steal. Anyway, everyone working on this house did a wonderful job. When Mike kissed his son, of course his daughter, I just laughed. Hey, guy its great when your father doesn't feel bad about kissing his son. Great video.
The sad thing about the Holmes series is it really show you how much the system is against you. I remember first few episodes Mike went on about get a home inspection, then most episodes start with them getting an inspection that missed every thing.
Then he said get permits, and we see countless times where people got permits and the city failed to notice flaws and just approved things anyways. You also get contractors basically running with the money, leaving projects half done and the cities just shrugging and saying it's okay if they did some work... or my favorite when the contractor can put a lien on your home despite doing a horrible job for more money and again the City sides with them.
Every thing is against you if your a home owner.
@@JustaGuy_Gaming it's sad but I'm pretty sure some have won. There was a situation in my country similar. But a real good contractor repaired the damage. It was on the news.
For the painter..... On MDF edging. Prior to priming and painting, apply a smooth flat layer of latex caulk. wipe in down with a damp rag and or finger to make it smooth. This will allow you to prime and paint / spray in normal coat amounts. Saves a lot of time and seals the edge for a permanent workable surface.
he better read this a decade later. jk useful tip for me.
nice tip for modern viewers, episode is pretty old at this point
Sad to say Craig won't read this as he passed away a few years back in a scuba accident😢
@@kenlanders7588 Damn, that's sad.
A 5 bedroom house is not my definition of a starter home lol
it's a starter home for people that work partly from home and think they will have kids within the next decade
their bedroom, an office workspace for him, another for her, and a room apiece if they get a boy and a girl
Sounds pretty permanent to me
@@CakeLorde my own parents first starter (not rented) place was a 5 bedroom, i was also about 2 and a half at the time and lived there for the better part of 2 decades before there was a need to move
maybe the starter part of starter house needs to be in quotation marks, first time investing real estate house, first serious gamble at school district and community reviews not being passive aggressive lies, and so on
What ticks me off is that most people are willing to pay a fair price for the inspection and any contracting work. But they want the full value for their money and in a lot of cases, they don't get it. Even with new construction.
If I put in new windows in my house for example, and I' told it's going to cost X, Ok fine. But I expect a quality job. And that doesn't happen a lot of times....
Just because a home inspector has done 100s of inspections doesn’t mean that they’re good at what they do.
Why would anyone buy a house with broken windows and no heat registers?
There is also the issue most home inspectors are provided/recommended by your real estate agent. The person who's really big on getting you to buy this house, not find things wrong with it. Considering till recent laws might pass they also get a commission based upon the final sale price. So they want it as expensive as possible because for some reason the buyers realtor is paid by commission which is split from the seller...
@@Djinn510The house actually seemed to be in pretty good shape given its age. All the problems easily solved.
Oh, I think Home inspectors know EXACTLY what they are doing. What I wonder, is how much of a kick back do they get from the Realtor to insure they get their sale. Lesson I learned, NEVER hire an inspector from the same area you are buying. My inspector may as well have put on blind fold, but I also did my own before closing and knew what I was in for. I CAN and DID most of the work myself.
But not everyone can do that. It's a damn SCAM. Laws need to change!
For that it's worth, a realtor isn't supposed to get kick backs from vendors, and if they do it's to be disclosed
@@SHKEKEKE I think it's the other way around, and not disclosed.
how many jobs do you think they would get from local real estate agents if they gave a true account of the deficiencies and the buyers pulled out that would be the last job in that area by any agent they would be blacklisted in a heartbeat
@@kirkyorg7654 And that exactly is the problem.
@@kirkyorg7654 Not in the US, but we have the equivalent in the UK. That is why as a buyer you should never accept the offer of the agent "Oh don't worry I know a home inspector" Do some research before you intend to buy, find a few reputable inspectors (just in case one you choose is the one the agent recommends) and choose your own inspector.
Yes it doesn't prevent them missing things, but it does prevent them missing things to enable the sale.
Hey Mike. Do you go after these useless inspectors and hold them responsible for their inept work? They should be investigated one by one to make them do it right the first time. Love all your shows 😊
Like others said, the home inspectors should be financially liable for missing glaring structural problems. In some cases where people could have been killed, they should face criminal charges.
Teachable Moment!
The State of Florida 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 Home Inspectors to be State Registered, and to carry 𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒. It's there for a reason, and they 𝒄𝒂𝒏 be held liable. Part of the problem is that the inspection industry is over-run by big companies that price the mom-and-pop operations out of the game, then drop their standards and charge what they like. Think Walmart vs the corner grocery store, or Uber/Lyft vs taxi companies. When the inspection companies are that big, they usually have lawyers on payroll, so good luck suing them!
Why can't home inspectors be punished, charged when they miss stuff.. I paid $500.00 for 1 on a brand new home and I was lucky this time and a huge problem was discovered before buying.. its like there is never any repercussions for doing a bad half butt job..they get your money and gone...Can they be sued after...?
I'm...a little baffled they BOUGHT this house, just on the windows alone. WTH?
I always wondered why do they mount the electrical panel sideways in Canada. Here in the US it's up and down
Idk to save vertical space
@@ss-pw4zj it’s the same surface area either way so… You save vertical space but you lose horizontal space so it really doesn’t matter each way, just preference.
Mike you got a beautiful daughter and a good-looking son followed in your footsteps that is so awesome thank you for everything you do I know you don't know me I'm here in Tennessee but you do a fantastic job you and your crew God bless you all love the videos thank you again so much showing the things that you all do to help people and again God bless you in your crew and your two kids love you guys take care be safe out there and and God bless
do you belly dance?🤣🤣🤣
the inspectors should be held accountable in a lot of these cases
For painting MDF if you use a quick drying acrylic based paint the MDF doesn't have time to absorb the paint and you can use less paint to finish the exposed ends. Typically in two coats no roller needed if already spraying.
2:28 Dont touch the ceilng tiles with your fingertips. 3:55 mike uses his fingertips 😂
It's nice to see a brother and sister working together! Because you see that happening in this modern world that we are living in!
😊how many people you help 💕 with just there mental health 🥰 thank god people out there like you all 👍🥰
RIP Rob Graves. Always remember you brother!
The more I watch these episodes the more I just have to bang my head against the wall of how the hell these idiotic inspectors get away with this excrement. Truly disheartening for the industry.
Such a beautiful family! Thank you Mike for helping them! I love you Canada! 🍁
Most excellent. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍❤️🦺✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯
I like this show over anything else from HGTV. He helps real people who ordinarily would not be able to afford the renovations to make the house safe. Unlike the American shows, they seem to only help the fancy people. I wonder what that blue stuff is that they paint on the wood and drywall?
Mike, I know you're in Canada but I really need help. I live in Ohio. Bought a house 2 years ago. It's an older house but since I moved in I've had multiple issues. Small septic tank that over fills with drainage water, flooded yard that smells like sewage, bedroom floor collapsed because the floor joists had rusted nails and no joist hangers. Floors are all wavy, toilet stack is cracked, no insulation in walls or ceiling, no ground wire on electrical plugs, old windows that leak water when it rains, shallow crawl space, no furnace only wall mount propane heaters. In the garage all the sill plates and studs are rotted out, garage is leaning, concrete is cracked and crumbly, old style ceramic fuses in garage, no ground plugs, ceiling is sagging, garage door has 2" cracks on both sides, too low to get my van into.
I know I should have gotten an inspection but that was a condition of the cash only sale. I did take my dad and an Amish contractor to look at the place but they both agreed that it was a good investment. I bought what I could afford and now I'm living in a house that's crumbling. There has to be something you can do to help me. I'm not married, 54 yrs old and disabled. no kids except my 2 GSDs. They love the fenced in half acre but the yard is so muddy right now that when they come inside they are caked with mud. The mud creates dust and I breathe it in. Since it smells like sewage I don't know what I'm breathing in. I have to wear a CPAP at night and I have to change the filter once every 2-3 days. Please Mike, I need help and don't know where to turn. Some have suggested tearing the house down and starting over but I don't have any money to do that.
Has Mike ever considered becoming a home inspector. With his knowledge, he could create a new space in the system
Maybe the next time you want to purchase a house give Mike Homes a called to be safe
If ONLY he was willing to travel!!!! It would be worth the price!
I love how he demonstrates how to avoid fingerprints on the ceiling tiles by using the back of the hand to lift the tile. And then proceeds to use fingertips to lift the tiles. SMH
How do you, as the buyer, miss the window issue????
Damon a really smart guy
Man, I wish you could make my house right. I’ve had three bad contractors work on my house. I have house that runs hot in the summer and cold in the winter coming through the walls and attic. Have water rotted boards in walls that the boards sound hollow and you can take a fingernail and completely chip off the wood. Skylights are hot in summer. Electrical issues.
So is it alright for the roofer to cut into the rafters when he cut the ridge vent in? Looked like 1/4" at least he cut into them.
Learned something new no electric cord under your microwave 😀
Cool
Is it mandator to have the heavy metal guitar montage for home construction?
Lmao did anyone else see the pen15 on the playground 😂😂
Mike homes the show is very interesting to watch on you tube tv show from Brendon
Raised bungalow means it was on stilts to prevent flooding. The word comes from India.
15:15 did I hear... centimeter over there?
You must be one of those heatens who uses the barbaric imperial system eh ? Get with the rest with the world you neanderthal with your outdated measuring system will you eh ? If you still didn't get it, they film in Canada.
Ceilings aren’t that easy to do correctly,me being a professional ceiling fixer
It looks like the home owners caught the bullshit before they bought the home !!!
Redid the kitchen but didn’t think the windows need to be replaced?
Well according to her, "we" wanted to renovate the kitchen so my guess is "we" didn't think the windows were a priority.
To whoever is uploading the videos, could you please please please put them on in a higher quality?
You do know that you can change the quality too?
asside from the issues, the size of this house is considered a starter house for them?????
I drove past a new subdivision a while back, sign out front said "Starter homes from $300K", and this had to be at least ten years ago. People have different ideas about starter homes.
In fact... this house is similar to my parents house. When they bought it in the 70's it was a new house in a solidly middle class neighborhood. It's still a nice neighborhood, but these days the houses in that neighborhood are some of the least expensive in town. Of course when we moved in the town has a population of 7,000, it's now around 170,000 and often shows up on lists of the best places to live in the country. (Cary, North Carolina).
oh this show was 10 years ago.....ye houses were far more affordable back then lol@@JeffDeWitt
The woman homeowner is pretty scary to me. I always worry when it's all "we" stuff. In the first 7 min she only referred to herself twice that I noticed and the guy doesn't talk much and when he does he gets the thousand yard stare from her.
Yeah how dare a woman speak 🙄
@@driverjayne Yeah I agree. They should stay in the kitchen and make me a sandwich already.
Awesome
The microwave is wrong???? Really??!!! Who doesn’t just buy a regular store bought microwave and bring it home to just plug it in?????!!!! Here in America, that’s all anyone really needs to do! So why are these guys blaming everything on the stupid microwave????? !! Makes absolutely no sense at all and makes me feel like this particular situation is staged!!!!!!I honesty hope it is not the case….but IDK
Why did you buy? You have eyes you knew it was bad
4 elbows equals a circle
Circle equals infinite heat!
@@jblyon2 Just don't be a jerk in that circle. Or better yet maybe be one and itll in fact be infinite heat.
They staged it with a mike holmes Make it Right book on the shelf. 😂
most inspections ive seen are not helpful and poorly done. engineer inspector is no guarantee because they dont necessarily know code, are not observant, and/or are not knowledgable of home construction and systems. i’m an engineer-and have seen and heard it. guess it’s easy money. it’s very frustrating
That's what happened when you choose the lowest priced home inspection.
no inspector is going to get on the roof and look down the chimney , right?
No, but the inspector went ahead and told them it was safe to use anyway. A home inspector should always just say "Get a WETT inspection before using this fireplace" and leave it at that.
video is dark, cant hardly see anything.
exploding chimney's OH NO lmao ya ok ya in 40+ years never heard or saw such a thing load of fearmongering artificial drama
HELLO I don't think the inspector was very good but I have a question where was Mike Holmes at while all the work was being done the only times that he was there was when he did the inspection and when he was telling the home owners what all was wrong with the house why didn't he stay and help with the work did he retire from or something I mean he didn't even get his hands dirty
Watch the older vids/seasons. He's in there doing as much work as anybody else. With seniority, you get to stop getting dirty all the time. Maybe chill out, sheesh.
Plus with his kids doing the work, he's passing on the torch. The guy was already pushing close to 50 when filming those and he's now 60 so privilege of getting older and owning the company.
A home inspector's job is to not blow the sale. Too many people are making money on the sale. You blow up too many sales and you are out of business
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Buddy
I want Mike to fix my life.
The music is horrible what a headache it gave me!!!!!!!
Are you able to turn all these scammers in. ? I sure hope so 🙏
Girage? WTF is that? 😂
Hello point to make why does Mike Holmes does an inspection and then brings back the home owners to show them what is all wrong with their house but he is always to stick around help repair the house I would think that he would help on the house but I guess that he is just to high and mighty to it is a crying shame that he is never there to even get his hands dirty and puts all the work on Damien and the crew if it was me I would be there 24/7 to help with the house ever since Mike quit on homes on homes he quit helping with any of the houses he never shows back up until it's all done and and then he takes them around and shows them what was done and than he keeps saying we did this and we did that when in reality it was Damien and his crew yes I said Damien and his crew because Mike is never there to help on anything why is that
Becaus he is/was a contractor and a leader. His team is him doing the work. I don't know what you want. Your are only as good as your team. If Mike was there micromanaging all the time . I couldn't trust his team and wouldn't trust his leadership.
Mike as the owner of the company is busy lining up future jobs for his crew(s). He has meetings to attend. He’s going to the various local bldg. dep’tments pulling permits & checking bldg codes for the areas his crews will be working on. He may have to be in court to argue for the customers he’s helped. He has crew managers for a reason. He trusts their judgement & abilities.
Damn that's like the 3rd or 4th time I see you commenting and bitching about him not doing the work. You do know he has other shows where he does the work as well right ? That his kids are also involved and for fuck's sake di he eat your first newborn for you to hold such a grudge ? Also for the 4th time and it's even spelled in all the shows its DAMON D A M O N!!!
Soy
fpe stab-lok bye bye breaker box
if you were to ask me how to fix this i cant tell you how to fix this but i feel like im like 8 years old when i see your pics on your videos and im in trouble, you look like someones about to lose their facking job and i mean now! lmao, just thought youd get a kick out of it, if not, take care
I think the next time I buy a house. I’m going to visit the local bldg. dept. & ask for the best inspector they have. These so-called yahoos that the real estates hire or use are frigin’ useless a t’s on a bull.
Why would you trust a house inspector's suggestion of a repair man. The same house inspector that did a poor inspection of the house you bought? Ever think that was inspecting house's so he could find work for his family?
