Eight of the episodes were released on DVD in 2013 and received their TV premiere on the Dutch channel VPRO on 9 June of the same year, with the rest following soon.
1Beds
A tree felled on your roof, preventing you from living at home. You have to go to your friend's place to sleep, but is there room for your bed?
2Paper Plates
The sausages are tasty. But what about those paper plates? You're right: wash them in the dishwasher.
3Water Supply
A new cupboard will be useful. A good place will be where the washbasin is. But how to route the pipes so that everything works?
4Projector
It's great to remember the old days. But what to do when there is no suitable place to display old films? The answer is right outside the window.
5Vacuum Cleaner
When a cable gets in the way while vacuuming, you can connect it to the lamp. Maybe automate the vacuum cleaner at the same time?
6The Floor
Putting in a new floor is very difficult, especially when there are problems such as not being able to open the door.
7The Pool
Just playing cards won't cool you down. You can cool off in the cold water. And where is the cold water? Sure, in the swimming pool.
8Deadwood
It is dangerous to have a dead tree next to your house. You have to cut it down somehow, but how do you do it without damaging the house and garden?
9Orange Juice
When your juicer breaks, you should come up with some alternative. It may be a machine made out of a cupboard.
10Bicycle
The usual exercise on the bike is boring when it can't move. But that's what imagination is for.
11Cactus
Transporting a huge cactus is complicated. You have to be careful not to stumble. It's pretty heavy, too.
12Bathroom Tiles
It's time to change the style of the bathroom. Blue tiles will be perfect. Just don't make a mistake when placing them, because you will have to lay them all over again.
13Sun Coverfinale
Playing chess is a challenge when the sun is shining in your eyes. You need something to block the sun.
