don't miss Mike tonight!

Holmes Inspection is on every Sunday night...
Mike Holmes did the show Holmes on Homes for 7 seasons...
watched all of them but 1 episode...
DVR messed up...
I love what Mike and his crew do for people...
they step in and help them out when someone else has taken advantage of them...
one home at a time, they MAKE IT RIGHT...
my parents always told me if it's worth doing...
then it's worth doing right...
and do it right the first time...
or don't do it at all...
trade skills are disappearing around here fast...
they have done away with the carpentry and small engine repair classes at our high schools...
the community colleges don't have them either anymore...
they told me they were outdated...
that they are a thing of the past...
right now, you can hardly find someone to fix a lawn mower...
or do basic plumbing...
remember when you could always find a Mr. Fixit shop?
you could take in your toaster, vacuum, radio...
and he wouldn't charge you the price of a new one to fix it...
and there were always someone who could do plumbing, roofing, add shelves to a closet, hang a door or put in a window...
throw away society?
yes...
but we are not going to throw away our homes...
and we need people who know how to fix the little things before they become the big things...
out dated my hiney...
Mike Holmes promotes trade skills in Canada...
he is getting kids interested in making a living out of it...
we need to promote it here in the states...
with so many without jobs...
without training...
it could be a big boost to the economy...
and in 20 years...
who is going to be left that can do the little and big jobs?
they aren't being trained around here...
a roof over your head is never going to become outdated...
watch Mike tonight!
and watch out for the crooks out there!
