Unreality BLOCK TV
There has been a bit of a to do about tradies lately and whether they can get things done in time. I have been surrounded by tradies over the years including this particular cabinetmaker. It doesn't surprise me that these cabinets weren't installed in time given our experience of him a couple of years back. Yes on the one hand you have a chance to show your wares on national TV so you would want to get it right, given a lot of people are watching, however it was only one day late. Ordinarily if you were putting in a new kitchen and said cabinets were installed a day late, I wouldn't be making too much of a fuss, especially if they are quality. This proves to me that trying to make building or renovation into a competition is unreality. Awarding of prizes and judging a kitchen refit is an artificial exercise completely foreign to most tradies. And the hosts didn't even get the sales pitch to off load three fridges. Kevin McCloud would have a fit at the idea of racing to finish by a timeframe rather than doing it right but taking longer.
