All Al wants is a bathroom of his own. When he decides to build a bathroom in his garage, he becomes so immersed with the building. He gets a first class toilet and recalls a childhood memory where he went with his dad to the toilet factory in Maine and used their toilet for the first time. Al's love for his toilet is kind of funny, sad, and pathetic all at once. He tortures his family and notices that his tools keep going missing so he suspects immediate family. Peggy has a plan too to win the lottery and needs the money. I have to say that this episode is funny because of it's obvious subject matter. Al wants a man's bathroom of his own where he could go and read the paper. The family has to put up with his recent insanity.

Toilet humour.

Al decides that he is going to fulfil a life-long dream and build a second loo in the garage, purchasing a Ferguson, the Stradivarius of toilets, which will be exclusively his. Meanwhile, Peggy thinks that she has a foolproof system to win the lottery and so starts to sell Al's tools to raise the cash necessary to play.
Dump of My Own is another mediocre episode, the writers flushing any chance for clever humour round the U-bend, instead settling for second-rate material (single-ply gags, as opposed to luxury quilted), wrapping things up with a lame joke about constipation and a cheap swipe at a rival TV network.

Possibly the most disgusting episode ever.

Warning: Spoilers
This is the one about Al's toilet. Not a "commode," not a "lavaratory," not a "washroom," not a "loo," not a "dunnie" -- a toilet. Unsatisfied with the one in his house, which flushes with a feminine whoosh, and always has a jar of vinegar on the medicine-cabinet shelf, he decides to build his own bathroom in the garage.
He buys a Ferguson toilet bowl, the Cadillac of toilets. "Once, my Dad drove me up to the factory in Maine to see the Fergusons being built. I only wish Dad were here now to (breaks into sobs)." Al thinks himself the envy of everyone he knows, referring to "that green-eyed monster, jealousy," paraphrasing Billy Shakespeare although he doesn't know it. The title of the episode is itself a rip off of Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own." The pun ("dump") is the property of the writers.
The room in the garage, which Al has trouble building, has everything, including a dedicated space for four toilet paper dispensers. He's encouraged in this enterprise by his neighbors. Steve recalls the last time Al used their toilet. "He killed my goldfish." I don't think it's the funniest episode but it must be the most disgusting. It's impossible to imagine anything like this showing up on the air today. Pornography yes. "A Dump of My Own," no.
