The Truth About HGTV's Good Bones

Good Bones is a popular HGTV show that features a unique mother-daughter duo, Karen E. Laine and Mina Starsiak Hawk. The pair are dedicated to rehabilitating houses in their beloved city of Indianapolis. Despite facing numerous challenges, they left their successful careers to start their own company, Two Chicks and a Hammer, a decision that has proven to be rewarding. This article delves into the reality of Good Bones, from the person who holds the reins to the job offer that Mina initially thought was fraudulent. The show has had its share of unpleasant surprises and it's important to note that Karen and Mina are not typical house flippers. Karen is known for her adventurous spirit, while Mina, despite being the daughter, often takes on the role of the "mom". They learned a lot of their skills from YouTube and are passionate about their work in Indianapolis. They've faced significant challenges, including deep debt and a cancer diagnosis. They've also had to combat sexism in their industry. Their journey began with what Mina thought was a scammy job offer, and they've had to juggle their TV careers with their full-time jobs. The duo has also considered collaborating with HGTV on other projects. However, one of the "chicks" has since retired.
