not seen it in a while
i like the program.
they do over hype the stories (as do most of the discovery programs)
my father always complains about him. he thinks that mike is only there to critasise others work.
i always look at it as thow if its not 100% right then its wrong.


congrates on having a customer know enough to care

Yes it is over hyped and mike can be guilty of overkill but the guy really gets a kick out of building structures to a very high spec and bulit proof... maybe he has a point tbh!

Used to watch him on Holmes on Homes many moons ago on Sky. I actually quite liked him and he would always do the job spot on and go the extra mile for customers. Top bloke

What channel is he on? Our Tommy Walsh isn't the hottest at the tiling.

bet he could slaughter mike in a tea drinking competition though! T Walsh knows his stuff when it comes to general building but lacks the finesse of a craftsman.... I doubt he would disagree!

he is a Canadian builder on sky known for his belt and braces approach!!! If the regulations say to screw something in every foot, he will glue screw every inch with larger screws. He is good but i sometimes wonder who pics up the bill for his work! I have seen episodes where i didn't think there tiler had done that great a job but i suppose things are just different in other countries. He loves ditra too! Its caled Holmes on homes.. Enjoy

It's Holmes Inspection nowadays, he goes in to find faults and then gets his building manager in to do the works....
