Since: May, 2015

A sitcom plot wherein there's work needed to be done around the house. Rather than pay a professional to do it, the husband (a moron) insists on doing it himself.
He claims he's doing it to save money, but secretly he just percieves hiring a contractor as a threat to his masculinity.
Hilarity Ensues as he screws up the job and ends up covered in plaster/toilet water/wallpaper paste. In the end, the family ends up hiring the contractor, and paying more than they would originally - because the contractor also has to fix the husband's mistakes now.
