Canada's Worst Handyman

Arguably the most important room in the house, why is it that so many bathroom renovations go terribly wrong? This episode tackles the most private of spaces, as the Handymen struggle to replace a toilet, lay linoleum and tile in close quarters. Tempers flare and meltdowns abound as the Handymen see their reno ambitions go down the drain and one is named as the episodes Worst Handyman.

At the halfway point, Canadas Worst Handyman throws everything at the participants - including the kitchen sink! As they tackle the kitchen floor, sink, door and walls, the Handymen play the blame game and turn on their nominators - for helping too much or not enough. The gang is surprised when they learn that the nominators will be switched up for each and every task. Has anyone improved? And who ends up in the Tool Shed?

The Handymen claim that they have learned from their Rehab experience and today they face their ultimate challenge - one monster project that will combine the most daunting tasks from each previous episode. Hardhats and toolbelts on, they must work together to completely overhaul one apartment - start to finish - in just one day! In a flurry of activity including flooring, plumbing, furniture building and assembly, drywall and glass block installation the Handymen work to prove their mettle to the experts. Then, after one final challenge, the experts nail one participant with the unfortunate "honour" of being Canadas Worst Handyman.

Before they arrive at the Rehabilitation Centre, each hopeless handymen designs their eco shed in the comfort of their own home. The on-site experts test them for tool knowledge and assess their handiwork only to determine that these bad builders are even worse than imagined.

After fixing their faulty wiring, moods go from bad to worse as the handymen find themselves installing windows and enclosing walls. Tempers flare when the handymen switch nominators and work long into the night applying plywood sheeting to their sheds. The workload and tension only increase as the handymen slap up denim insulation and wrap up their sheds with a vapour barrier. The episode ends when they attempt to build a picnic table from scratch.

A surprising new addition to the group changes everything; and peace in the ranks is briefly restored… that is, until the handymen start grouting tiles and installing pine ceilings. Creature comforts inside the eco sheds start to take shape as high-tech hammocks and eco toilets are installed. Tempers heat up again, however, when the group works together on a wood-fired hot tub.

After learning proper harness techniques, the handymen tackle the roofs of their eco sheds. Roofing proves to be too much to handle as a few teams reach the end of their ropes. Other pairs, discouraged by the results, head for the floor. Then it’s time for the final step as doors are installed on each of the sheds.

The eco sheds have been auctioned off on eBay, with the profits destined for Habitat for Humanity – thankfully sold sight unseen! In this final episode, see the results of the handymen’s horrible work. The sheds – or what’s left of them – are delivered to the lucky purchasers.

When the production team visited the handymen at their respective homes, they noticed that none of the handymen had functional workbenches. Well actually, Desmond did – until he used it and cut right through it with a circular saw. Now, each handyman is charged with designing and building their own workbench – but the results are dubious at best! Next, see how Reno Rehab is driving these handymen up the walls – quite literally. The century-old mansion that they are renovating has walls that are full of holes in need of patching and it’s up to the hapless handymen to begin plastering their way to a smooth finish. Then, as they shrink-wrap the windows and work together to build a kitchen shelving unit, tempers flare and one person is ejected from the group project.

As these five hapless home renovators continue their stint in Rehab, they find themselves building a radiator cover that is meant to be both attractive and functional. By the end of the challenge, however, many of them find that their projects fail to measure up to either standard. As they soldier on, the handymen must also dig deep in order to correctly fix the holes in their floors, but many find themselves on shaky ground. Even hanging mirrored panels on the wall proves to be too much for this band of bad builders. Finally, for the group project, the team attempts to install flooring and cabinets. At the end of this episode, one person is named the most improved, and yet another is named this episode’s worst.

The Handyman Rehabilitation centre offers a new set of challenges this week that include learning to make a tufted headboard and fixing a banister. Things really get switched around, however, for the group’s kitchen challenge as this episode’s foreman takes on grouting and then tackles the backsplash… with more than a little backlash! The kitchen challenge continues with plumbing and faucet installation, but it doesn’t look like this Bed & Breakfast will be serving breakfast from a functioning kitchen anytime soon.

Our handymen are given a chance to let their creativity shine as they are given free rein to accessorize their rooms. Some handymen take this opportunity to show their creative flair – and others use it to hide their mistakes. Next, everyone must take a chair and build it according to flat-pack instructions in order to finish the kitchen furniture for the B & B. Once the projects are completed and the doors to the Bed & Breakfast are finally opened, see who is named the worst-of-the-worst and must bear the dubious title of Canada’s Worst Handyman.

With Rehab well underway, each handyman begins by demolishing two bedroom walls and their bathroom - a challenge that should be simple enough....except we are dealing with Canadas Worst Handymen. Next, we find that rehab is driving our handymen up the walls. Our hapless handymen attempt to give their walls a rustic faux log finish ...and its not a pretty sight. Later, they attempt to lay vinyl flooring in their bathrooms , and then work together to build two large wooden frames They dont know it yet, but they will eventually use these frames to form the walls of an Ice Hut.

As our five hapless home renovators continue their stint in rehab, they find themselves building a medicine cabinet that is meant to be both attractive and functional. But surprise, surprise, it doesnt really work out that way... Our hopeless handy folk then attempt to hang drywall... and duly proceed to screw up ways we never even thought possible. Later, things get a little wild at the rehab centre as the handymen attempt to make coat racks out of deer antlers. Finally, tempers flare as the group attempts to build and hang three types of doors that will be used in the construction of the Ice Hut.

This week the hapless handymen go wet and wild as they try to install a vanity and complete basic plumbing tasks. Next, the nations most abysmal handymen fly by the seat of their pants as they attempt to make their own wooden toilet seats. Then its time for the annual skills contest where the handymen must follow instructions and race to finish small supporting walls and triangular pieces. They dont know it yet, but these are the last pieces of the puzzle they need to erect an Ice Hut in next weeks final episode. Finally, things get all bent out of shape during the group challenge as they try to wrap their brains around building curved wooden fishing nets.
