These are fun quick watches (sometimes after the situation clip I skip to the result). It's obviously very formulaic and does feel like a commercial for Wayfair. My three gripes:
- too clearly a Wayfair commercial with all the dishware out and all, but more than that: TOO MANY THROW PILLOWS! I get that Toronto gets less slow than the rest of Canada but it still snows!!! And rains. One of the places they had a percola roof over a pool changing room, and they had put pillows and blankets around. Like. That's not staying.
- Winter? All the doors they make to those refurbished garages or built container structures are not water proof. If snow accumulates, I don't know how resistant these are. They built one with glass doors that fold and open. We're not in California ! Imagine when you have a foot of snow against it.
- why a living area in the garage? Unless the episode is about a very special need (like the DJ extra space or the artist work space), they most times create basically an entire living room or dining room inside the shed /garage. Again. We're not in California. It's only warm for 4 months a year. The rest of the time; they will be using their actual living room inside the house. I get that the goal is to extend the availability of outside living months, but like from sept onwards they will need to keep things warm and that's just extra costs of an entire structure to keep warm.
But putting aside all the practicalities, I get a kick out of seeing what they do and the reactions (sometimes I wonder how genuine tho... lol)
