The home needs some renovation but Ryan thinks it could be a smart investment. Meanwhile, Mike attempts to dissuade Ryan from scooping up the property because he actually wants to buy it.

"Home Improvement" ran from 1991 to 1999 on ABC. Allen's Taylor was known as "The Tool Man" and the host of a DIY-centric television show.
"It was really confusing for me to play Tim Taylor, who, I think of Mike Baxter is an evolution of that character. He's smarter, went to college," the star described. "We don't know whether Tim Taylor was really stupid or really smart. I mean, I played the guy I wasn't sure."
