    Mike won't but the home owner did and it was working fine. I have no idea what he will say when the show comes out, if anything. I should send Mikey a bill for replacing it.

    Maybe there was roofing damage so it must be removed to effect other repairs. Don't jump to conclusions. Wait for facts. You can bill him for replacement only if you do the work. Until then, why not wait and see what comes of it all. BTW, there is an 'L' in his name: Mike Holmes

    This a job he's doing for his show? Since it's in the yard not a dumpster, maybe hearthman called it right.

    Lol, that guy is such a drama queen.
    I remember an episode where he went crazy because a furnace vent was terminated like 2 feet away from a condenser saying it could ignite raw gas causing an explosion and saying it was against the B149.

    I don't know any Canadian codes. Was it a violation, or not?

    Yep, they have to use LED lighting. The incandescent bulbs get too hot for the building materials.

    Look, the guy does great work. But his earlier tv work was "real" after a while he became all Hollywood.
    I have all his books, I do admire what he does, but he doesn't and can't know everything.

    I figured as much...he fell quite a few notches with me because of that "America's Best Handyman" competition. That stuff I see on there would have me firing him for creating a dangerous work environment.
