“Tommy Walsh helps people renovate their homes using recycled materials.”
Expert builder and DIY guru Tommy Walsh is joined by his sidekick, maverick builder and compulsive scavenger Liam Collins as they both take on the challenge of fixing up a house for free! Given the current credit crunch, more and more people are finding that money is tight, and so there is no better time for Tommy to tackle his biggest project yet - helping families enhance their homes for very little cash. Using only building materials that other people have thrown out, all that needs paying for is labour. Self-confessed blagger Liam is confident that he can find everything he needs just by rummaging through skips, dumps and builder's cast offs in order to build anything from a conservatory to a loft extension. All the while Tommy keeps a watchful eye on the project making sure that quality isn't compromised just because the materials are free.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is an American reality television series providing home improvements for less fortunate families and community schools. The show is hosted by carpenter and veteran television personality Ty Pennington. Each episode features a family that has faced some sort of recent or ongoing hardship such as a natural disaster or a family member with a life-threatening illness, in need of new hope. The show's producers coordinate with a local construction contractor, which then coordinates with various companies in the building trades for a makeover of the family's home. This includes interior, exterior and landscaping, performed in seven days while the family is on vacation and documented in the episode. If the house is beyond repair, they replace it entirely.

The daily trials and tribulations of handyman Tim Taylor, a TV show host raising three boys with help from his loyal co-host, domineering wife, and unseen neighbor.
