The first couple seasons were entertaining. Then the show started to repeat the same formula. Most folks built when the weather was bad. Endless shots of ....golly it's snowing we're behind. Getting six minutes of building, a cut to the next segment with a recap of what we just saw was annoying.. The building off the grid wasn't necessarily green. Lots of styrofoam and plastic included. By season three I just watched the intro to find out where the home was going then headed to the end to see what was built. Really liked some of the buildings. But too much similarity in the furnishings and interiors. Six different owners claimed their log end walls were unique. I get the complaints about construction safety. I was annoyed by families with kids that didn't think they needed hand rails on the stairs or outside areas. Might also add if you have a toddler and a wood stove you need to prevent them from burns. My biggest complaint is about the use of horticultural plants in the builds that claim to be natural. In season two old crunchy hippie guy claimed everything came from the land. Chrysanthemums are not natives. I made it through all 13 seasons by skipping forward except for Cappy. He was okay.
