  1. Can anyone confirm? Are they playing these episodes on Magnolia first then back on HGTV later? That seems to be what is happening on Barn wood Builders, the newest episodes are trickling in.
  2. Maybe the twins caught Covid or someone on the crew had it? This Kickstart stuff is SO BLAH. I watched Nate and Jeremiah's last night. What the F did they actually do to the bridge to make people from out of town want to stop there? I thought the art installation was going to be an archway over the expanse of the bridge. No! It's just a dinky sculpture that will be moved out of the way. What was up with the squares of fake grass? A big tripping hazard especially since the leaves were falling pretty heavily and soon there will be snow. They made the woman's store look better but where is her stock? That place was loaded with stock when they showed up. Didn't see any area where she could put back stock either. Her packaging checkout area was dinky. I'm tired of "designers" knowing what retail establishments need. There wasn't enough room on that cabinet to have a register, cash wrap or gift wrap station. And they never addressed the water being able to come into the store. Just replaced the subfloor and flooring. What happens when water seeps in again? And the home-why did they put that huge screen in front of a FAKE fireplace? Then a chair right next to it impeding the flow of traffic from the kitchen area? Wasn't that WHY they opened up the wall? To make the flow better? The fake fireplace should have been on the wall at the end of the dining table. And didn't the husband say he wanted a table that seated 12? And got one that barely sat 6? I guess PEOPLE's budget is smaller than mine since no one has really received what they wished for.
  3. Amherst- Is really 23 West Spruce St. in College Park a neighborhood north of Orlando. A buyer purchased it in July 2021 for $265,000. Probably another flipper who couldn't do the work. The house looks like it creeps over the property lines next door. It does have a real big backyard. After discussing the front door for 5 minutes how they would change the swing, they left it to swing awkwardly. The living room floors still look messed up and scratched/stained. Why is there a open pantry? Could you not figure out how to put a door on it? No baseboards on the breezeway room, no trim in their main bedroom when they were walking out the door, and did that tiny shower that most people couldn't squeeze into have NO glass or door? how much water is going to go everywhere! And no tub in the entire house? And did they really leave all that crap in the backyard? With no gates on the fence? And there is no sale at $460,000 as of today. Last sale was 7/21 for $265,000. I feel like a homeowner bought it and hired them to renovate it. They were in no way involved in the sale of this home.
  4. Never listened to the Spice Girls and if they continue with they petty arguing I think I'll mute when they are on. Frank us a little too much. But really like "Carol" and Yu Ling. Sex girl is an admin asset. She's 28? Why do players think she would know anything? Can't they read a bio?
  5. Glad there was no Steph. Also didn't see a need for the Muppets. Just show the mini golf it's enough for me. Also Joe seemed irritated and not just acting that way. Maybe Rob gets to be too much for him?
  6. I'm irritated at my PBS channel. They are still showing repeats of other seasons. Nothing from S11. I'm also irritated at Brit box, They only have the Christmas special and the first 2 episodes up. What day do they load more?
  7. 1229 Minnesota St bought on 9/10/2021 for $200,000 and has not sold yet according to property appraiser site, never mind $475,000. Original house built in 1925, shed out back built in 1950. Purple and green shower was indeed hideous. I'm not buying a house without a dishwasher. And I would never paint a house in FL red. Too hot. Lighter is better. For a company that's trying to save money on a flip why would you spend 3 times the amount on labor to herringbone the floor when it probably would have taken 1/2 a day to do a staggered floor. I know a lot of actors here in Orlando. I'm going to ask them what is the worst casting company, because I'm sure that's where they get these fake buyers from.
  8. That bedroom looks smaller than the one I had in my RV. So does the bathroom.
  9. Darn! No availability until September. I guess I'll have to go somewhere else, anywhere else.
  10. Could be but it wouldn't need a mailbox then. City of Orlando does allow them but the area of town it is in isn't touristy. Far from it. Mostly older folks who have been there for decades or younger couples who can't afford the larger houses elsewhere in Conway, but want to be closer to downtown.
  11. We actually drove by this house yesterday. It's on a large lot that's wide on HourGlass Lake. I think it was the original house and someone built a new house in front of it on the same lot. The addresses are the same just # A and B since there are 2 mailboxes there. The front house was updated recently. They took a cute cottage look and made it look industrial instead. Killed the character of the house and the time it was built if you ask me. It now looks like a manufactured home was placed on the lot. They actually tore down part of the house so they could park that huge Outback 5th wheel right next to the house. So then maybe they wanted rental income or something and took on the small house at the back. The lot lines are NOT as presented on the show. They are not filed that way on the property appraiser's site. The homeowner just wanted to separate rental from their property since they are spitting distance close. Painting your house black here is just stupid. It makes your A/C work harder even it you are under trees. And if you under trees mold will grow on your house and turn it green. They had to add Mitshubishi A/C units to the rental because there was no place to add ducting.
  12. 1721 Hourglass dr- House is actually behind this one. Does not come up on property appraiser site. I I have a feeling they did work on the front house and were paid to update the garage apartments out back. They took a really cute cottage looking home and made it look like a manufactured house and then did the same with the unit out back.There's no way I would rent one of these, they are like cracker jack boxes. I'm small and I don't think I would fit in the shower. Plus there's no way I would park outside under the trees. Too many chances in our weather for something to fall on my car. Good thing Ashley is getting help with design. She sucked at it. And Keith is no better.
  13. I feel bad for the students who didn't get in to Vet school because it is VERY competitive. He took the opportunity away from someone who REALLY wanted it. My daughter had a friend who took 2 years to get off the waitlist because there are so few openings.
  14. 1509 Bumby Ave- property appraiser says sold on 9/17/20 for $310,000. Built in 1951 as a 3/1 with 1022 sf. Here's the listing: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1059-N-Bumby-Ave-Orlando-FL-32803/2076240949_zpid/? My thoughts-hated the green tile/blue vanity color scheme (the same green tile from a previous house, maybe that's why they ran short Haha).Dining room is too tight for eating in with more than 4 people, weird kitchen backsplash tile, barn doors again -just NO! especially on a bed or bathroom. Master bath there was no knee room to sit on the toilet with the shower enclosure in front of it. I did like the wood floors, terrazo was ok not my taste but at least it was contemporary, lots of land plus a dock (but should have pulled ALL the old posts out), spring fed lake, nice older area very good schools, very close to shopping and restaurants could walk or bike if wanted. Biggest Con of all though is the Peacocks. They will screech day and night and crap on everything, they peck at everything and they roost in the trees so a fence isn't going to stop them. We had them in Conway when I lived there. At first you say "How cool!" until they invade your property and won't shut up. Then they get hunted. It's only been pending about a week and a half. Most houses in area top out at $430,000 so if it goes through it will be the highest one in area for 1263 sf at $589,000.
  15. Just drove by this home. It's basically on a one lane street and people park on the street which would bug me so much if I lived there. We actually almost had a collision with someone who turned into the street without looking ahead. I think I would come to hate workers or landscapers who don't park in driveways.
  16. That happens here in my area. Mainly because no one bite at the $1million sale price so they pull it and relist with a lower price and call it new on the market. One hit Zillow today in my neighborhood which is well known for high prices and sales in high 6 figures. It has now been listed 4 times in 6 months.
  17. 3108 Florene Dr-pending sale for $469,000 right now. It was built in 1963 and is in a good location in the heart of Conway with a newly rebuilt k-8 school and public Park with pool and tennis courts that can be walked to. Can't see what they really paid because it's blocked. That happens usually when someone in law enforcement or court system, etc buys a home and doesn't want it disclosed. So I'll go with $303,000 they said they paid. This one truly was a polish it up and add the garage walls. Not too much to mess up. I'm wondering where the shower door is for the car wash shower. And the drama with the guy and another offer on the house was stupid as usual. Adding the garage really helps this house. I know my spouse and I would never buy a house without one. The kitchen wall that was just subway tile looked odd. It needed some floating shelves or something to make it pop more. They really should have moved the sink to the window wall .The yard was a great size for Conway. Lots of people have boats for the chain of lakes and to have the ability to park it at home is awesome. Loved that the terrazzo was still in good shape. It's getting harder to find houses that haven't had it damaged in some way. It really keeps the house cooler.
  18. I actually liked the green they started with instead of the darker one. And I agree since I know that part of town that some homes are neglected and some are great.The issue usually is there is someone like my dad who is 83 who has lived in the home for 60 years and can't take care of it the way it needs to be done anymore. Then the heirs rent it out or move in and still won't take care of it. Until it has to be sold because they can't pay the taxes anymore. Then it gets flipped or torn down and rebuilt.
  19. 2420 S Fern Creek Ave- it was bought for $245,000 on 8/24/2021. Has not been sold and transferred yet according to property appraiser's office. Show said it sold for $615,000. They did have to do a lot of work to get it back together. Most of the finished looked OK to me except the "mixed metals." I hate when finishes aren't cohesive in a space. If you commit to use brass then use it on all the fixtures and don't forget the toilet handle either! I knew Ashley couldn't use those doors in place of the ones that weren't there. And barn doors are so yesterday. The trend is over. It is in an older section of town and many of the houses have been restored but you could end up living next to a dumpy house that the owners won't fix or are renting out. They also must shoot several scenes of each of them complaining about everything and whoever hams it up the best gets on the show. It's the same thing every week. I was laughing when Keith couldn't knock that ugly wood wall over though.
  20. 1518 Orangewood Ave. Please stop making Orlando area contractors look bad! Who the hell do they employ as a GC for these flips? They need to fire their ass! The house really did sell for $1.3 million to a Henry.... It was originally bought for $400,000 by another company who seemed to knock it down and start a rebuild. It is in a nice area. Very near to the hour glass district from last week but much better in my book. Loved that Ashley didn't get to "design" the house with her weird ass vibe. Most houses in the area only sell for around $350,000. So unless someone just really wanted this house with whatever Ashley and Kevin planned for it, it could have sat for awhile. I live in a neighborhood that last quarter 2021, houses were going for more than $1 million but that has slowed so all the realtors are listing at $999,999 to see if that will bump them over the $1 million mark. Not sure it's working right now with interest rates going up.
  21. Finally they stop lying about the prices of their houses. Their 1306 Ceylon Dr actually was bought for $309,000 and sold on 2/1/2022 for $505,000. It is about $120 sf more than any other house sold in the area. If the other homeowners don't improve their properties the people that bought this one will be in a pickle if they want to sell. These houses bang up against a very busy road and a lot of less than desirable retail/restaurant businesses nearby. There is an up and coming Hourglass district that is starting to take off with a foodie scene nearby but not enough to make me want to live there. Funnily enough my dh has a cousin who lives round the corner on Berwyn who has been there for over 30 years. We knew people who would move into this area because it was one of the cheapest places to rent a home to be in the Boone HS district instead of Colonial across the street.
  22. Now that it's finished in UK when will it come to Britbox?
