Broken House Chronicles is the anti-This Old House. You won't find professional contractors or laser guided chop saws -- instead, George and Leigh show that a couple of regular people can do home improvement projects, while showing the materials necessary, common problems you might run into, tools necessary and/or available for rental, and occassionally breaking into song. It's entertaining, yet educational -- and it might inspire you to do some weekend project that you aren't sure if you can do.
