Craftsman

The Resume

    (October 25, 1965- )
    AKA 'TV's most experienced handyman' and 'Britain's favorite chippie' (British slang term for carpenter)
    Carpenter on 'Changing Rooms'
    Host of 'Streetcombers,' 'Increase Your House Price By Ten Grand,' 'Garden Rivals' and 'Room Rivals'

Why he might be annoying:

    A BBC designer invited him to try out for 'Changing Rooms.' He just thought the crew wanted him to build scenery!
    Unlike Trading Spaces (which is based on it), he is the only carpenter for 'Changing Rooms.'
    He did a horribly-received reggae-style recording of 'If I Had a Hammer.'
    One fan page advises viewers to 'try not to drool on your computer too much.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    His high-school sweetheart, whom he later married, bought him a T-shirt on which appeared his eventual nickname.
    He was the guest carpenter for several Trading Spaces episodes, on both sides of the pond.
    He is not afraid to stand up to the designers with whom he works ('they've never done it before and they'd never have it in their own house').
    Nor was he afraid to blast Genevieve Gorder for jumping onto one of his projects and treating it like a hopscotch field.
