Why? There is a show on cable called "Flip this house" with Richard Davis, it is amazing to watch the transformation they perform. The show gave me ideas I will use to remodel our home.

Well maybe "house flipper" isn't the right term, what do you call the guys who buy brand new homes, pay as little as possible and resell?
I find that show to be rather telling of our mindsets... they take a house that may need some work, do a little cosmetic repair (rarely do they show serious structural work), and sell the house for up to 100% profit on their investment in some cases. It amazes me that people decide not to buy a house because of the way it was furnished or painted by the previous owner... Now the times they repair termite damage, etc, I'll give them more credit....
Now if there's a fool out there willing to pay a $40k premium for a coat of paint, then that's their own fault... but flippers who do little work and expect huge profits for little to no investment of their own labor I find annoying... but that's just me. :)
