I'm new here - I moderate a technology forum over on JLCOnline.... but whenever I see "Mike Holmes" my blood boils a little so i have to check it out. I don't know him - but there is a good % of what he says/does on his various reality shows that I would consider laughable - and absolutely terrible advice to homeowners. I know it's just TV... but it seems like every time Big Mike shows up to look at a $50 problem, they wind up tearing out the basement slab, re-plumbing and re-wiring the entire home, re-framing entire sections of wall and in general escalating the scope of work exponentially. And what's with the drywall screws to fasten framing together? All that said - he has raised awareness by miles, and that's a very good thing for everyone. At least people are thinking about building science issues. JLS
