    I hate it too as well as her always spray painting the bathrooms white.
    I know it's cheap and looks all right but surely a guru like herself could come up with something different now and again.
    I must admit she really does annoy me
    Charlie and Andrew are first rate though

    It throws me how she will spend 5k or so on Luxafix? blinds instead of cheap roller blinds or venetians that would cost less than 1.5k. Some of her "cheap fixes" are pricier than doing it properly. Dont even get me started on the spray painting bathrooms and kitchen benches

    yes; the spray job gets used a lot - no doubt for the low cost.
    I rented in a house a little while back that had both the bathroom and the kitchen splashback sprayed white, and it actually looks pretty good.

    She doesn’t spend anything on blinds.
    The brand is promoted heavily so it is obviously a freebie.

    On one series EVERY house got a Vergola opening patio roof.
    Clearly a promotion.

    @Marg4000 I had thought that- I hate when they have a budget but don't tell us what the actual spend was. I remember seeing the opening pergola, and thinking what a waste of money, and it didn't even keep the rain out it was so small!

    Just realised you were talking LA and I was talking NY, sorry. Love both the Joshes, and Madison who has left the show now.

    I don't reckon they could ever do the amount of work they do for the money they usually quote. The volume of tradies and so on, even the rubbish skips - huge costs unless donated free.
    Still love the show though.

    I enjoyed the changes, but get frustrated when Shayna spends in areas that are unnecessary - ie - covering a perfectly good brick wall with batons and gyprock, when a simply painting of the brick would give a much better effect for less money ... and spraying tiles ... save the money from the unrequired gyprocking and get new tiles installed! The spray on tile paint does not hold up to normal wear and tear and will annoy the buyer in no time.

    It's like when Cherie Barber renders the front of a brick house and paints the rest - just paint the whole house as a partial render looks cheaper than simply a whole paint job.

    I agree mostly - except for the tile spray bit. The place I rented for almost 2 years had sprayed tiles and splashback tiles in the kitchen, and it lasted all that time no problems. I guess the paint quality might have an impact too.

    I’ve watched the NY a couple of times, haven’t seen it enough to know the characters. Back in LA I love the Joshes. One is so naisley but his confidence is amazing. He’s so calm and cool but I can imagine he could sound like a total nerd also. I can’t believe the amount of money people have to throw around. So funny the guy who sucked Fergies Toes looking for a rental. They kept saying he looked familiar then clicked. And said he can suck anyone’s toes, just sign him up to rent. Lol
