In which denim-clad men and work-booted, pony-tailed, mom-jean-wearing women measure, fix, and construct various aspects of homes. Coverage of the entire home, from attic to basement, are illustrated well enough to make a grown man drool.

From installing metal ceilings to ceramic tile to three ways (three way switches, you filthy-minded galoot!), it's all here. Other topics to pique your dude radar: installing wallboard. Bullnose edging. Installing an undersink garbage disposal.
