  • Excellant resource

    This show is a pleasure to listen to and the most useful, common sense resource for planning my renovation project. It's great to get an unbiased opinion with all budgets accounted for. Just listened to the kitchen counter top episode en route to a stone supplier and the balanced overview by Jenny and Kate has clarified my thoughts.
