Frank comes into Ty's work area in a sort of hunched-over, Igor kind of walk. Ty's working on the bar. He wonders what's wrong with Frank. Frank replies, "Wainy weather makes me weiwd." Ty laughs. Frank repeats his statement.
Gen and Jason are working on slipcovering a dark green wing chair that's seen better days. She says they're going to use muslin, because they can't afford a "real, strong upholstery fabric." Hey, why not just use tissue paper? Super-cheap, and only slightly less durable.
Frank keeps up the Igor posture as Ty shows off the bar. Frank loves it. Ty wonders if Frank's tried yoga or stretching for his "problem." Frank repeats that he doesn't like rainy weather. I'm guessing he must have arthritis and that it's acting up on him. Maybe he really can't control his arms.
Gen shows Jason how to pin the slipcover.
Ty finishes Gen's dining-room table. He bellows this fact to no one in particular.
Frank shows his team what to do with the front of the bar. He wants to tape off the lower triangle on the front and paint it black; the rest will be stained -- thus accentuating the "diver down" motif.
MPDP shows up in time for Gen to assign homework to her team. They're perched on the tables Ty's made. MPDP leans across the dining-room table to say that it's nice, learning in the process that it's also wet. Gen puts some cans of stain on the tables. Well, as if the staining jobs on this show aren't usually crappy enough, there's nothing like slapping some stain onto wet wood. She says they have to wait for it to dry. That will probably take a fair bit of time. Gen says that their homework is to stain the two pieces and touch up the chartreuse paint on the trim.
Frank says that when the TV stand arrives, they're to polyurethane that piece, too. That's their homework: the bar and the TV stand. Robin says she thinks they rocked today. Josh and Robin make the rock'n'roll "devil sign" with their fingers. Frank says he can't do that because of his arthritis. Frank does the Igor routine as he leaves.
Gen tells her team to have fun while she's gone.
Day Two. It's sunny. Ty and MPDP wheel a big plastic garbage can full of water and scrap wood to the curb and dump it. That garbage can must gave been right under the tarp when Ty broke it, because there's no way that much rain naturally fell into that can yesterday. The entire neighbourhood would have floated away.
Frank arrives and finds Josh tending bar behind the finished piece. He offers Frank some orange juice. Frank notes the finished entertainment unit and the fact that they cleaned the floor.
