Pretty cool...

let me regroup here......these home improvement shows have the same script and frankly its boring. women want new counter tops, marble backsplashes...for some reason apparently the COLOR OF THE WALLS IN ANY ROOM, impedes the sale of a waterfront house overpriced at 300K.

Its in vogue now to hit walls with a sledgehammer, bust a filled toilet tank with a hammer, splashing water on the dumbass husband, then, (off screen) have the licensed bonded builders finish the job in an hour. Cool.

I watch the RV shopper shows and these people are ridiculous. They basically want a 3,000sf home on wheels - "Oh, we need space for all 6 of our kids to have their own bedroom." Or they get sidetracked by a feature that - trust me on this - they'll never use. "Oh, we MUST have an outdoor gourmet kitchen, so we'll sacrifice storage space for it."

Or like you said, the deal breaker will be something that is super simple to change - like a minor paint job.

I can only watch so many of them before I get frustrated and have to move on.

Lead paint abatement isn't cheap, and neither is asbestos which lots of houses in that era used for exterior shingles.

And kitchen flooring. Usually covered by two additional layers of vinyl.
