I can't figure out how they do a high end kitchen remodel for 20k or less. Also, they show them shopping for decorations and furniture, that stuff is either just for staying or not included in the numbers.

Point still stands.
They gut flooring, walls, replace roofs, completely install new kitchen appliances and cabinets, etc.
IRL the stuff they do should cost double.
It seems like they don't include cost of labor on these shows to me. Gives viewers the impression that renovations are a lot cheaper than they really are.
Sure it might cost you that much if a TV show comes in and pays the contractor and crew. Good luck with that!

If I were these two, the "non-monetary relief" would be this:

Most if that staging stuff comes from that warehouse they have with all that shite in it.
They might buy a knick knack here and there.

Yes.
Sandwiched in between Dallas and Austin, it has to be cheap in order to attract people that want to live there.

Wouldn't want to be a cabinet today if it's demo day.

There were probably some Branch-Davidians in the neighborhood that drove property values down....

Seems like the damages should be more than $1million. This will get settled for some nominal fee.

Yes. This lawsuit is going to be quite an adventure....

I assume appliances aren't included in their prices either. Still hard to get to those numbers. I guess being relatively close to the Rio Grande helps with labor costs.

I was thinking the same thing all that fancy furniture and shite hanging on the wall gets taken out after filming. I read the cost to keep that stuff is around another $25k.

Not really. Imagine their labor is cheap and it isn't like they are using marble everywhere. Those cheaper materials and labor knock a huge amount off the budget.
He is just a GC taking a small percentage.

I read somewhere that the homeowners can buy individual pieces that they use for staging house; otherwise, all that shite goes back to the warehouse. Magnolia now has it's own furniture line, paint line, etc.

After reading this I actually give him more credit than I did before. On the show he portrays a goofball, but surely that obviously isn't the case.

These shows crack me up.
