Something tells me this isn’t an isolated case.
Fox Broadcasting’s “Renovate My Family” promised them a new and improved home designed to accommodate their recently paralyzed son, Steven. Instead of a handicapped-friendly home that made their life easier, they got a shoddy wreck of a house that latest estimates say will cost $350,000 to fix, the Rosiers’ attorney, Mark Belongia, said.
‘Essentially what they did is build a movie set,’ Belongia said.
Wiring remains exposed; door knobs are round, impossible for Steven to grasp; a dryer is vented into the home rather than out of it; smoke detectors don’t work; plywood covers basement windows; siding and plumbing was improperly installed; the furnace has no foundation and is stuffed in a crawl space and sod was installed directly over limestone paving, Belongia said.
Adding injury to injury, someone made off with $13,000 of the homeowner’s tools.
h/t Wizbang.
Somebody call in Mike Holmes!
Sounds like a government job! Bwahaaaah
Fox will probably invite the lawyer to appear on The O’Reilly Factor and have Bill verbally slap him upside the head.
One thing that really happens a lot is the owners of the newly fixed up home get a huge property tax increase. That’s probably why on the show I like, “Extreme Home Makeover” the family often gets a big chunk of cash too, or the contractors pay off the family’s mortgage to help out.
Foxnews is the best TV channel ever. Unbiasewd journalism at it best.
They also have a big IRS bill to pay as well. All the renovations have to be declared .
“Sounds like a government job!”
No, it was a union job. Remember, TV and film producers have to use union labor. This is what they do.
“Foxnews is the best TV channel ever. Unbiasewd journalism at it best.”
Uh, dumbass, Fox Entertainment and Fox News are not the same thing. And what is “unbiasewd”, and how does it pertain to the original post? Moron.
