In this 1-hour Special, host and comedian Steve Patterson travels from coast to coast to witness the country's most heinous home repairs and bizarre jerry-rigged fixes in search of Canada's worst homeowners.
Tim's no-know-how has resulted in renovation blunders in almost every room of the house including a massive hole in the kitchen ceiling and zero privacy in the bathrooms.
Mike is a hard-working father of three who seems to be single-handedly keeping the entire spray foam industry in business. His fourth-generation farm house seems to be mostly kept together with the stuff.
Phil has a penchant for fixing things cheaply yet creatively, often using various hues of duct tape. He has used this trusty sticky stuff to fix towel bars, curtain roads, electrical sockets, sink pipes, dry wall and about 20 door knobs.
Dave ripped out his entire basement and replaced it with blankets, carpet remnants and old furniture and now no one will go down there but him. The question is, is he hapless or an evil genius?
Rita is not even remotely handy. But she is creative. She fixed a leak in her living room ceiling with duct tape and a puppy pad. And despite having no bath tub, Rita has found an absolutely ingenious way to bathe in her stand-up shower.
Greg is a well-meaning unhandy man who has a natural talent for causing more damage than he fixes - evidenced by his missing reno-related index finger.
Gabe has started about 367 new renovation projects in his home. Unfortunately he's finished zero, which means his home has no kitchen, no living room and is missing a necessary weight-bearing wall (which he also took out).
No one will ever criticize Gardner for not being creative. Instead, they'll probably criticize his complete lack of construction skill and the insane renovations found throughout his home.
Cindy is a doer. So when the family homestead started to feel too small for the constant mess of guests that visited, she did something. She tore out a wall. Unfortunately, that wall is what keeps the roof up.
Don wanted a fresh-looking kitchen, so he took all the doors off the cupboards (good start), sanded them (this is getting exciting) and then put some finish on them and voilà: they look terrible.
