Lot of workmanship problems with those houses they slap together.

Really? Any proof of that? (Just curious because they did one locally here and there have been no complaints.)

PBR - A couple of months ago, the show built a beautiful house for a wounded soldier in Ft. Campbell, TN (not far from me). If you are a fan of the show, look out for this one this coming season, it is not to be missed.

This Old House magazine ran a short piece on all the problems awhile back. A number of people had asked Norm et al why it took the TOH crew so long to do what they did when Ty and his crew could whip out a completely new house in a week. The punch lists were quite lengthy and many owners were unhappy. Also, the IRS was hammering the early recipients of the homes, classifying them as income that hadn't been taxed. Some of the families had to sell the houses because they couldn't pay the tax. The shows producers were supposed to take care of that SNAFU with future homes.
