Renovation Raiders (2013)
Harder Than It Looks
I have been watching Amie Mathews for years. She is so professional that she makes every thing look easy. Looking at Renovation Raiders, you might not realize that she is a professional contractor, that in an earlier life did all of the work herself.
The complexity of some of the projects is way beyond what most people do in a renovation. The last show I watched, they installed a Double 2 x 12 header. This is not something that you can do alone. Just holding up each board takes 3 people. This is a show of coordinated effort. If you have ever done a renovation or had one done, you know that the littlest job takes days, and then there is always something that is not finished. I am asking all viewers not to underestimate the fantastic job of coordination and skill that is shown. The inspector is on the job and gives them immediate confirmation that the quality of the work meets the local code. Something that the local handyman does usually does not meet the local codes. I recommend this show if you want to see work done quickly and correctly with good taste. God Bless You -- John
