The premise of the show was to revitalize the exterior of the two "crappiest looking houses" on the block in two days with a fixed budget. The twins placed usually humiliating side bets as to which of the two houses (and therefore which of the two hosts) would win. The Most Improved Crapper was voted by neighbourhood ballot at a Steam Whistle Brewing keg party held to celebrate the completion of the transformations.
