I enjoy Mike Holmes show. He is awesome. I want to get a house built on my property, but I do not know of any builders located in Leesburg, VA. and afraid to go thru some of the horror stories that were captured on his show. Do you know of any people I could interview to get started?. I would appreciate your help help.

Thanking you in advance.

We bought an old house and the basement is realy a crawl space! One side of the foundation wall is collapsing! We have thought of raising the house and put in a proper basement but that will be very expensive. We have thought of many other things incuding just knocking it down and start from scratch but we would like to save some of the house.
can you give us some advise about what to do! we are at the end of our Ideas.
Thank you Mike I watch your programs all the time.

We're well into our 3rd home reno. This 3rd kick at the cat is getting easier because we have more experience now, but boy oh boy the surprises don't get any better! Now we're getting close to finishing this home and are getting ready to do exterior, landscaping & garage/driveway work. How exactly does one fix a crumbling concrete floor inside the garage -- can it be done w/o ripping it out. Unfortunately, we think the original owners did not put rebar in the floor and it seems they used the wrong concrete because it's flaking off the top and then comes out in small pieces. There are exterior wall thickness issues in the garage as well - a whole second floor seems to be resting on a wall made out of 2x4's on the flat ..... help!

Mike: I viewed your show with the Katrina after math.
The question on the table is there not a better way to with satnd this type of forces.
Yes, in 1991, I came across a product, called the Simek system.
It is steel joist, light and very appliable (14' of 10" weight 14.1 lbs total).
Have i got your attention. I have done several projects at cost and less to promote this engineered item. Most of the trades people felt it was too hard to switch. I trained numerous tradespeople. To no avail. If you are interested in this product I would be willing to pull the information and show you.

Living in the UK we have our fair share of cowboy builders, i was fortunate enough to have a father who was a master bricklayer who trained in the 1930s and still had standards even till his sad passing. I feel sure that he would have admired the work that you do and the principles you work by. So please dont let the media get to you and make you lower your standards. keep the shows going as they give enjoyment to so many people.

This has to be the best learning show that has ever been on TV and if he ever is in the Salmon Arm , BC area, he can fix my house mistakes and we would be glad to take him out on our boat on the Shuswap lake. Wish they would prosecute some of these so called contractors that have made such a mess. Keep up the great work!!!
