Great app

There is always so much to see at these shows and it's really easy to get sidetracked and forget everything you had planned to do. This app is going to be so useful on the day and keep me focused - I've started planning my day already.

I'm amazed more shows/events don't do something like this

Top 5 favorite shows about repairs and construction.

Good day, dear companions. In anticipation of spring, I spend my free time watching my favorite shows. I even put my husband on the topic of construction, although before he had not watched with me such programs hinting at "let's do it for ourselves" programs. I don’t know why construction attracts me so much, maybe in a past life I was Dzhamshut))). Or maybe I just like to watch the process of creating something. However, I hope that I am not the only one, and there are fans among you. So here are my top 5.

The first place I recently discovered is "Treehouse Masters", in the original "Treehouse Masters".

So far, two full and one episodes of the third season have been released. A team of carpenters and builders led by Pete Nelson build custom tree houses. The show is imbued with positive, in principle, there is no training like in the "School of Repair", but some points will still be useful. Nelson is a very pleasant and charismatic presenter, in each episode he sincerely confesses his love for trees. He says that they just want to be part of the house, a dubious fact, of course, given that nails and several tons of extra weight are unlikely to please our leafy friends))).

A definite plus of the show is the announcement of the budget, less tedious construction work, more communication with clients and between the team, beautiful tree houses, chic interiors. You just plunge into the forest life and merge with nature, in general, done with taste.

Some of the stereotypes can be attributed to the minuses, by the third series you understand that everything should be according to the laws of the show).

Several photos of finished houses:

In second place is my domestic "Country Answer". Don't worry, there will be a "housing issue" too, but later))), it's just more interesting for me to watch the repairs of non-standard and large premises.

A lot of hosts have changed over the seasons. Most of all I like Andrey Dovgopol, most of all I didn’t like Tatyana Gramon, who pulled the designer blanket over herself)). And of course, my beloved Stalik Khankishiyev, a real gem of Dachny Otvet.

Of the minuses - the secret of the budget covered with darkness. By the way, if anyone knows how the banquet is paid, unsubscribe, I'm interested. I also want to note some one-sidedness, in summer - gazebos, in winter - attics.

Photos of favorite projects:

In third place "The house is closed for renovation", in the original "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition". Perhaps the most ambitious project of this kind.

Handsome Ty Pennington and his team break down the walls of the old life and build new ones, the repairs that everyone dreams of. Large houses and the territory adjacent to them are involved in the alteration. Most of all, I like to look at the reaction of customers at the very end, when Ty drives a huge bus away from the renovated house.

Minus - my favorite process - decorating - remains completely unattended. The interior of the house is shown already finished.

Several photos:

I give the fourth place to Fazenda. There is something warm and cozy in this budget show, when I watch, I always remember my dacha (God willing, they won’t bomb it).

The material itself is very exciting. And master classes in decorating, which only one Marat Kaa is worth, by the way, he disappeared somewhere. In the subject of advice on gardening, horticulture Tumanov and others. And useful tips for reworking, in general, a very high-quality product.

Minus - I just can't get used to the new presenter, he seems to be cute and speaks beautifully, but it's still not right))). That's how picky I am.

Well, in fifth place, I promised earlier "Housing problem". On domestic TV, this is already a classic of the genre.

This show started my love of seeing remakes. It was they who taught me to deal with the styles of interiors and broke the soviet taste))). Designers and architects very often come across mega-talented. A chic video sequence and an excellent presenter Natalya Maltseva add quality to the Housing Problem, although they dress Natalya anyhow)).

Cons - again, an unannounced budget, the presence of brand advertising, the complete non-functionality of some projects. Designers often do not think about how to take care of all this later, and what electricity bills will come.

I hope there are fans of this genre like me. If anyone is interested, I can continue to the top 10.

The best Russian TV shows about repairs

In one of his songs, Pyotr Mamonov once sang: "We had love, and now repair." Indeed, the transformation of housing is always associated with a number of problems that you just need to go through. Indeed, the transformation of housing is always associated with a number of problems that you just need to go through. For several years now, Russian television people have been helping famous people and ordinary viewers in this difficult task. "TV program" learned some details about the most popular programs dedicated to design repairs.

"Idealniy Remont" (Channel One)

This Channel One project is directed by Mezzanine editor-in-chief Natasha Barbier. The Perfect Repair program started in April 2013. For almost three years of the project’s existence, the apartments of Elena Yakovleva, Zoya Zelinskaya, Yana Poplavskaya, Sergey Zhigunov, Dima Bilan, Alexander Oleshko, Tatyana Tarasova, Nikolai Drozdov, Tatyana Dogileva, Edita Piekha and many other famous people have received design repairs. This project is unusual in that the film crew travels around the world to expand their own and the audience's understanding of home design. So, for example, the creators of "Ideal Renovation" once visited China - there they thoroughly studied the process of making home furniture. The Ideal Renovation team traveled to Europe several times, where the presenter visited the most famous flea markets and acquired unique decorative elements, which were later used to decorate the homes of some of the project participants. Barbier herself believes that it is often not necessary to do repairs - in her opinion, there is no need to change the interior in your apartment or house every season in accordance with fashion trends.

“Housing Problem”

The first episode of the “Housing Problem” program aired on NTV channel in 2001. This show is one of the first renovation projects on Russian television. From the very beginning until 2013, Natalya Maltseva was the host of the program. The topic of telerepair helped to attract a large number of advertisers to the project - most of the building materials and tools were provided by sponsors. "Housing problem" from the moment it was aired, it has firmly established itself in the leading positions of television ratings. Many viewers who took part in the filming of the show and left their apartments to be “torn apart” by designers and the repair team remember with great joy the moment when they received a positive response to their application. During the existence of the program, a large number of ordinary people's apartments have been renovated. A distinctive feature of this TV project about repairs is that the audience sees the whole process of remodeling an apartment, while the owners are completely unaware of what is happening in their homes until the very end. At the end of each issue, program participants return and accept work. Their emotional reaction is the highlight of the Housing Problem program.

“School of Repair”

The premiere of the program “School of Repair” took place on the TNT channel. A distinctive feature of this project is that none of the members of the repair team, including foreman San Sanych, is a professional builder - they are all actors. The role of San Sanych is played by artist Alexander Grishaev, who helps the participants of the program to prepare a surprise for their families. TV workers take on the redecoration of an apartment or a separate room, without carrying out any serious work related to redevelopment. Alexander Grishaev lives in an apartment renovated in the Italian style. The TV presenter loves Italy very much, so when choosing the design of his housing, Alexander chose the design that is typical for apartments in which Italians live.

"Fazenda"

Another Channel One project on housing improvement is related to the alteration and repair of country houses. The program is already 10 years old. Over the years, presenter Sergei Kolesnikov and his assistants have brought joy to many ordinary people - their dachas have been renovated under the supervision of talented designers. The idea of ​​the program came to Masha Shakhova, who later became the producer of the project. The fact is that Shakhova lives in her own dacha and knows firsthand about all the design features of suburban housing. Now the program is hosted by artist Roman Budnikov. Sergei Kolesnikov decided to leave the project for the sake of working in theater and cinema.

Country Answer

Repair work outside the city is carried out not only by Channel One - in 2008, NTV launched the Country Answer project, which tells in detail about the improvement of the house and garden plot . Daria Subbotina became the first host of Dachny otvetka. A distinctive feature of the program is that during the construction work, which requires the execution of special documentation, the hosts explain all the legal nuances of resolving the issue, and also tell how to obtain the necessary permit for the supply of communications and land development. Earlier, as part of the program, the presenter went to visit Russian stars in their country residences. Then this section was replaced by a culinary section called "Kazan-mangal".
