However, Johnson says it became increasingly important as the series went on to show that things don't always go right the first time in home improvement. Many episodes featured self-effacing blooper reels, reminding DIY-ers that even the professionals confront stripped screws, ill-fitting pipes and a host of frustrating surprises within ceiling plenums and wall cavities.
Over the years, Johnson's mission of educating homeowners about the ins and outs of home remodeling remained steadfast, even as the construction industry changed.
In addition to the rise of big-box home improvement stores, such as Home Depot, Johnson says homeowners have a greater array of products to choose from today than they did in the s, especially when it comes to building and remodeling kitchens. The advice Johnson gives DIY-ers is to stay educated and learn all they can about the home improvement projects they wish to tackle.

We watched this latest one since coming home from the classes and we sputtered through the whole thing. They did so much wrong! The chinker sub-contractor is the one who pointed out on the newest log home what some of the problems were that they were going to run into he also restores log homes. They then took him to the original log home that at that time was 8 years old.
That rot was a big problem and wasn't sure but what he might have to replace the whole log. It was a mess! That tape is what got me interested in log building. I have probably watched that thing 50 times. Of course, now I know the scribe method they used is a long, drawn out process, and susceptible to settling as compared to the superior butt-pass method. I remember the extensive pains they went through to "float" the kitchen walls to prevent the fixtures from being crushed by the logs settling.
They also used the same method when hanging the windows. The way they ran the heating ducts in the floor was clever. I saw a follow-up to the building of that log cabin after 9 years.
