For the sake of conversation I'm tempted to ask "What the heck is Rick's Restorations" but fear the "google it" response. I don't have TV service.

Good lord, (having never seen it) does this show's entertainment value pivot on the taking advantage of people? Folks balk when I quote $175 to restore something like that.
