They're armed, dangerous and pose an imminent threat to person and property - and you might even be one! Discovery Channel has tracked down five shockingly shoddy renovators and offers the critical tools to help them improve.
In this forth installment of the hit TV series "Canada's Worst Handyman", five of the country's most hapless home renovators are given the opportunity of renovating a one hundred year old country lodge somewhere deep in Ontario cottage country.. At the lodge, each handyman will attempt to renovate a bedroom equipped with an ensuite 3 piece bathroom into a children's retreat.
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 Canada's 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 it's 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 don't know it yet, but they will eventually use these frames to form the walls of an Ice Hut.
In this episode, each candidate must shed some light on their projects by creating a rustic lamp out of a log , and then install dimmer switches in their rooms. Both projects turn out to be quite shocking for some of the hapless handymen. Next, things heat up between the handymen as they attempt to assemble electric fireplace kits. Next it's toilet installation, and it winds up being a very messy business. Finally, in the group challenge, one candidate acts as the reluctant foreman to conquer a framing challenge - a frame that will be used in the construction of the 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 doesn't 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.
In this episode, the candidates begin by installing vinyl walls around their bathtubs and it's not long before they become stuck - very, very stuck. Things get even messier when take a stab at plastering their recently hung drywall. Next, our hapless handymen attempt to convert old whiskey barrels into rustic chairs. In the group challenge, the handyman struggle to build a games table and a pool cue rack. As the pressure to complete the challenge builds, the arguments, struggles and blunders get the best of them. By the end of this episode, another handyman has learned enough to warrant the title of most improved, and someone hangs their head in shame as this week's worst.
This week the hapless handymen go wet and wild as they try to install a vanity and complete basic plumbing tasks. Next, the nation's 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 don't 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.
The handymen are given a last chance to get their rooms in order and race to complete the To-do list of 20 unfinished projects. Some handymen take this opportunity to show what they've learned while others fall further behind. Next, the group takes a crack at the most dangerous group project ever attempted in Rehab. With everyone out on the ice, it's time to assemble the Ice Fishing Hut the group has been building in pieces. Lastly, the hapless handymen attempt to ready their rooms by assembling bunk bed kits before the Cub Scouts arrive. After attempting to finish the list of unfinished projects and a visit by the Cub Scouts, it is finally time for the experts to name the worst of the worst for this season.
