Why I Hate Home Improvement Television, Version 15.6
Fitzpatrick-I received a very nice e-mail last week from a woman who found my listing on the National Kitchen and Bath Association website, www.nkba.org. She was in the planning stages of a remodel on a ranch in a rural area nearby. She wanted a house in town; her husband likes his land. They compromised by deciding to remodel the existing house, mainly, a kitchen and two baths. She has dogs, kids, a pool and wondered if I could help her.
I messaged her back with a lot of information, one point being that I have a big dirty husband and several big dirty dogs. This was encouraging to her, but in her next e-mail she mentioned two things that disturbed me: One, she is a home improvement television addict; two, could I tell her what exactly it is that I, as a kitchen and bath designer, would be doing?
Trading Spaces is the highest rated show on the tube right now, yet this woman has no idea what a kitchen and bath designer does or why she should pay for one.
What’s wrong with this set of plans?
