We are watching a home show (Love It or List It). The couple has a budget of $630,000 and currently lives in a shoebox horror pit. Not sure what city this is but they are looking for a new place and all their budget will buy is another shoebox fixer-upper garbage pit.
 
Man, if they were here in Houston, they could have a brand new McMansion in a great area.
 
Unbelievable!!! 4951

@donnatella   Love it or list it never mentioned what part of the country they are in, but the budgets are always high for pieces of sh^! houses.  I can't stand Hillary & David. The show is so staged she can never complete anything. After watching the show why would anybody hire them, they never come through totally. 4951

A good friend bought a house just north of San Francisco.  It was $250,000 for a 1400 sq ft typical subdivision house with a yard about the size of my living room.When he moved back to Baton Rouge, he was able to buy two houses.  One to live in and one to rent out.I gave up on all of those "flip it" and remodeling shows because they were all ridiculous. 4951

I was watching that also. Maybe the show is in Toronto - they never mention the city. 4951

Instead of trying to fix everything, they need to learn to say "no" and cut their losses on some money pits. The place in this episode just needs to be torched and rebuilt from scratch. Instead, they are trying to fix a horrible pit and just burning their money. 4951

The couple looks a little mismatched. Are they both women? Not that there is anything wrong with that. 4951

@donnatella: I would love to see what the house actually sell for afterward.  I know he gives what the house is supposedly worth but that doesn't mean it's what it sells for.

Back in 1990 & 1991 we went to a lake in Ontario Canada. There were houses out on islands in this lake. They looked like regular houses, just wood framed with wood facade,  nothing spectacular & they were only 2 season homes but they were going for $800,000.00 back then..... Can't imagine what they go for now! 4951

@jls2:
Yes, the same sex couple. One was a dancer and the other was a musician. That place has a pit.
