I was recently thinking to myself, I wonder how long it will be before a horror story about a home remodeling dream come true reality show comes to light. Here it is.

According to the article, Hollywood scouts for the short lived Fox network show, "Renovate My Family" approached the Rosier family at a Chicago boat show offering to revamp their home making it more user friendly for their son Steven who is wheelchair bound after a snowboarding accident in 2003. The family says the asked for a new attached garage to make it easier to navigate the wheelchair in the cold and icy winters.

The production company, according to the Rosiers, encouraged the family to dream even bigger urging them to sign a contract without a lawyer's review. When they finally saw the house the reveal was not what producers had hoped, the family was devastated by the renovation which was not at all what they'd hoped for. After living in the home they discovered several other alleged problems like a washing machine installed without a drain (?) and their handmade by Mr Rosier oak cupboards were replaced with press board laminate.

Gasp! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

With all the shoddy rapidly slapped together new construction I've seen in "Urban Sprawland" (the outlying suburbs of Detroit) and the frenetic pace of reality television, I am not entirely surprised. The Rosier family settled their suit out of court with confidential terms.
