Episode 1

Jay Blades returns, this time joined by Dom Chinea, inspiring the nation to improve their homes and gardens with DIY tips and tricks that won't break the bank. They share their own DIY home hacks, delve into the BBC archives for advice from the nation’s favourite experts and go head-to-head on a DIY build. This time, Jay and Dom create their own versions of free-standing shelves using scaffolding poles and an old set of drawers. Toby Buckland builds a garden structure especially for herbs, Daniel Heath gives an old dressing table a retro look, and we learn how to build an ottoman from scratch. Dom shows us how to gild a vase in gold leaf, whilst Jay creates a storage solution out of bed slats.
