action

The docu-soap was the first German-language program to deal with the topics of living and renovation with a focus on the manual work of amateurs . Essential elements of the plot were the implementation of design tips under professional guidance, the tight timeframe for the realization of the renovation and the assessment of style and taste of the respective teams, combined with the surprise effect of the actual renovation at the end of the broadcasts. For entertainment, the team's mishaps were documented and commented on. Serious tips on renovation and design were given and published as handicraft instructions for reading .

After completing the two-day work, the teams are shown to their own room, which they have not seen for two days.
