I just watched it.

Something doesn't seem right there. Having said that Cherie only manages the renovations so the workmanship was the tradies.

Yet as project manager she assumes overall responsibility.

There has to be a decent explanation and I certainly dont think its any indication of overall performance or character.

In any case im sure we'll never know for sure as this would be a case of theres 3 sides to a story.

The occupants version, cheries version and then the truth.

Personally I just see it as one of those jobs from hell you get from time to time, everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Also sounds like the pressures of a TV production may have forced hasty work not in the best interests of the owner.

I was also shocked when i saw this on ACA.

After the owner had payed the money for the reno DVD set and attended many of her seminars.

But there must of been more to the story, also probably didnt help she payed all the tradies cash either! So she had no real come back.

Wow, thanks for posting the link.

I’ve always wondered about the quality of work on these renovation shows with the time and budget pressures of delivering for on screen reveals.

This one is a shocker though.

I’m surprise that CB would leave it in that state and risk her reputation like that. After all she is Australia’s Queen Bee renovator. There as got to be more to the story.

Interesting, I just seen the latest video on ACA that Cherie is fixing everything now. But something didn't seem right when the owner sent Cherie flowers after the job was finished?….. but gee it got a lot of attention all of which wouldn't be good for Cherie. So I can see why she would want it sorted out asap.

From what I understand of the situation, the owner of this property bought it against Cherie's advice.  It was then Cherie's dilemma of how to renovate it in a manner that added functionality for the owner, but also added value to the property itself.  I cannot understand why this lady (the property  owner) has chosen this course of action.  Nice way to say thankyou – not !! 

Cherie is a lady of great integrity.  She really does give all of her efforts to her projects, and also to her education courses.  I did one of her courses 2 years ago and was gobsmacked about the massive amounts of information she was on a mission to impart to her students.

HI jmsrachel – dare i say it – stop watching ACA and read a book or download an audio book and listen to it. ACA would be about as productive for you as listening to talkback radio. Please don't hate on me ray hadley fans.
