Sorry your experience was so much less than you'd hoped. I have never
seen this show, but I'm not surprised at all. I remember years ago when the PBS show This Old House was really about people rehabbing old houses in a somewhat realistic fashion, the homeowners tackling projects within their scope of abilities, and contractors doing the balance. Then it commercialized. The projects got more and more unrealistic (for the top tier earners in the US, pretty much). And I
stopped watching.
I hope you have better luck than we did. Back when my son was in Boy
Scouts, he wanted to do a service project for Habitat. I was thrilled, as I figured that was a project I'd like to help with. He called the local Habitat, to find out what we could do, and they were
not receptive to receiving our help!
Right now, I've got more of my own projects to complete than I have time. But when I donate labor, it is to help friends and neighbors, good people I know who can use a hand.
Good try, Bev!!!! You have a good heart.
