Episode description
Amber claims she needs a place to store her bikes and she and her dad, Jim, are long overdue a bonding experience.
What better way to finally get to know him than to spend a few weekends together in her garden building a shed from scratch, the old-fashioned way? It doesn't matter that they've barely spoken in 34 years. As long as they follow the instructions, what could possibly go wrong? But as the generation gap becomes a seismic shift, Amber and Jim's bonding experience soon descends into a furious battle of wills - one that threatens to damage relations between them forever.
An epic family drama in miniature filled with twists and turns, as the source of the tensions in Amber and Jim's relationship is gradually revealed. Ultimately, both will learn a valuable lesson: that there's no instruction manual for parenthood.
