Canada's Worst Handyman

This special episode follow each Handyman's personal journey in rehab - from the first nail to the last screw - and looks back at the breakthroughs and breakdowns that made their experiences so memorable. And finally, watch as the Handyman Rehabilitation Centre crumbles to the ground.

The ragtag band of DIY bootcamp inductees arrive at Handyman Rehab and prepare to be hammered and drilled on the basic principles of construction by Canada's Worst Handyman's tough-love experts. Relegated to their apartments, the first assignments begin - who will emerge as the star pupil, and who will end the episode as the worst in the class?

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 episode's Worst Handyman.

It all comes crashing down as chairs break and shelves plummet to the ground in this episode that challenges the abilities and patience of the Handymen. In the wake of pathetic projects, who will earn the "most improved" toolbelt, and who must take the walk of shame to the Tool Shed for extra homework?

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 a major redesign of their eco shed frames, the handymen “get wired” by building solar panel housing and wiring their eco sheds for solar energy. Next, the group works together to build a brick barbecue.

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.

As the handymen begin smashing their way toward rehabilitation, it’s clear that they’ve got a long road ahead. First, they design their rooms. Then their skills – or lack thereof – are assessed as they build stud walls and install wall safes in each room. Or attempt to! By the end of the episode, one candidate breaks through the rubble to claim the title of “Most Improved.” In the end, however, incompetence ensures that someone else is nailed with the title of “Worst” after the first round of projects.

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.

In this episode, each candidate must install a shower in their guest rooms. This project turns into a marathon challenge as we find some handymen working for over seven hours to complete it. Next, the group is trained to use a router. The pros regard this tool as the handyman’s secret weapon, but in the hands of Canada’s Worst Handymen, its many uses are utterly wasted. Finally, in the group challenge, one candidate acts as the reluctant foreman to conquer drywall and hardwood. By the time they finish, one handyman is named most improved, and a new candidate hangs their head in shame as this episode’s worst.

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.
