I'd like to see follow-up shows where they identify the contractor
responsible for the shoddy or fraudulent work and take him to court. *Too

in which various members of the building trades show the shoddy
contractor
new and interesting ways to employ common tools such as pipe wrenches
and pneumatic nailers.
