When you're watching a show about a home makeover, or in the case of "Yard Crashers," a yard makeover, you're not thinking a ton about who is actually doing most of the renovation projects. But when it comes down to it, the dramatic transformations we see on "Yard Crashers" are often completed by people who don't get a lot of time on air, and, in turn, we don't have a good idea of what the experience is like for them.
According to a Redditor who "worked with guys that did work on Extreme Home Makeover," another HGTV home reno show, the renovation crew isn't always having the best time. "They said it was absolute hell and they'd never do it again. They have EVERY trade in there at the same time. People are constantly in your way and people are there 24 hours a day working," the Redditor wrote. "You work until you can't anymore, than someone else from your trade takes over. You go home and rest, and come back and pick up where they are at. Everything used is 'rapid setting' materials." This person added that there's also quite a lot of touch ups that have to happen after the reveal is filmed. "A lot of time, materials are still 'wet' when they do the walk though, like paint, grout, tile, texture, etc. There is also a TON of touchup work and repair when they are done."
