When Roy proposed to his fiancée, Lori, he promised that he would fix up their home before their big day. It's now eight months later, and the house is in the same dilapidated shape as when they bought it. Our antic crew — James, Sparky, Jenny, Greg and taskmaster designer Nani — somehow agrees to redo the living room AND the war zones this couple call their front and back yards. With their wedding day quickly approaching, Roy is never going to get the job done-alone. Led by designer Nani, a team of highly skilled and comedic contractors sneaks into Roy's house, and puts him to work for a total of three days, while Lori relaxes at a nearby spa. Roy endures pranks from the cast, a stubborn support beam and an intrusion of cockroaches to make good on his promise to Lori, who has little hope left in him.
It's the oft-told tale of a hardworking husband, a high-maintenance wife and the hideous shed that's ruining their dream house. Chris and Julia have a beautiful home-almost. Chris has spent the last two years renovating their run-down fixer-upper into a spotless waterfront house, while Julia has been more of a ""watcher"" than a ""doer"".

But between the massive demolition challenge of tearing down a whole shed, an ominous thunderstorm that catches everyone by surpris

A few years ago, Dan and Suzanne found themselves in a common homeowner jam: a five-person family crammed into a four-bedroom house. And Dan's grand thinking came to the rescue... sorta.

The kitchen now consists of angular tiling because he didn't want to cut them. The ceiling is covered with large strips of styrofoam because he thought it would suffice as insulation.
