I love this show and what I especially love about it are these things:
Word of advice: Change the awful background music, I watch this show almost always on mute to avoid the clanging background score, which is worse than a real construction site noise.
- no male-male/female drama going on, no drama at all from any of the humans (praise the Lord!) the persona is not running the show, the show is about rehabbing period houses, the houses are the protagonists, and their personalities come through as the rehab progresses
- Nicole does hands-on work, and all sorts of work on the sites. She's not calling in to give instructions or snap at the crew, or drop in to supervise and scream at the crew as in so many other shows (Flipping Boston - at least the episode I saw, Colin and Justin's Home Heist during the later shows was the worst in this respect)
- there is reusing, re-purposing, restoring, bring things back to life in period properties; don't mistake me, I love an update of tired old spaces and I do prefer modern and sleek to keeping it slightly dysfunctional to keep with the period, but this show is refreshing from all the other blah modernization shows
Word of advice: Change the awful background music, I watch this show almost always on mute to avoid the clanging background score, which is worse than a real construction site noise.
