However, the couple is soon confronted by its new home's battered structure. Juliete's father offers help from a reputable building firm, but this help is refused by Dexter who wants to remain independent of Juliet's father. Dexter sees an ad in the local paper and employs Josh (Ronnie Barker) to do the work, the house is finished but eventually burns down because of Juliet's father who changes the fuses from 15 amp to 30 amp, causing the fire.
