00:00The hell?
00:08The hell?
00:12We can hear something buzzing above us.
00:17It's a bloody drone.
00:24And it's from a distance like what is that holding?
00:27It's money.
00:28I thought it was a lot of cash and I was hoping it might fly over to me and drop $10,000 in my lap.
00:37But...
00:38It's a sausage sizzle.
00:39It's a what?
00:40It's a piece of bread with a sausage in it.
00:42No, it's not.
00:47There's a flying sausage coming in the air.
00:50Flying sausage coming in the air. God, I never thought I'd hear those words come out your mouth.
00:56Come out of yours a bit.
00:58No.
01:07Got it.
01:08A note.
01:09Hear ye, hear ye.
01:10Blockheads.
01:11Who's the silliest sausage on the block?
01:14It's time to separate the real tradies from the imposters.
01:17Meet me at Cryle Castle at 11.30am and let's find out.
01:21Scotty.
01:22Aw.
01:23Nothing surprised you on the block.
01:25The fact that there was a flying sausage, you know, at seven in the morning and it tells
01:28us to medit at a castle.
01:29You don't even bat an eyelid now.
01:30You're like, oh yeah, cool.
01:31I wonder what it's going to be.
01:32Yeah.
01:33You want a sausage?
01:38Tonight, flying sausage in a bread roll might be the sanest thing that happens.
01:43It's week nine and with five rooms to deliver, it's D-R-A-M-A-S.
01:52That spells dramas, Taz.
01:53Yeah.
01:54Someone's taken the piss and wrote and done over all our inspection signs as if it's
01:58just a laughing, laugh it off.
02:04Robbie and Matt, D is for Dan Mageddon.
02:06How's Matt meant to know?
02:07All you boys do is just deflect, deflect, deflect.
02:09We don't deflect, mate.
02:10We've got no idea about landscaping.
02:12We're getting towards the end of the competition and your house is failing.
02:16For Sonny and Alicia, R is for romance.
02:19And you thought I forgot.
02:22Oh.
02:23Ten years of bliss.
02:25Emma and Ben, they're A for anger.
02:30I don't know why you get so angry.
02:32Because I've organised all these appliances, Ben, last week.
02:35There was nothing for them to go into it.
02:38And for me, M is for maybe the greatest sporting event ever.
02:43The tradie games.
02:46Let the games begin!
02:48Oh, my goodness.
02:50Get it!
02:52And another eight and another meltdown.
02:55Yeah, like, we want to win, like, because we're broke.
02:58It's hard to enjoy it when you're not, you don't have money.
03:02Finally, Sonny and Alicia, again.
03:05S is for Struth.
03:07What's going on next door?
03:09What's going on next door?
03:10Which house?
03:11House three.
03:12House three.
03:13They're working ahead if you're doing subframe for a, um, alfresco week.
03:17It's Thursday on the block and their final week inside.
03:33And with five rooms to deliver, garage, laundry, mudroom, pantry and powder room, it's actually
03:40feeling much calmer than it should.
03:44We don't build movie sets, alright?
03:47Except house five.
03:48You're responsible for project managing it.
03:50You've got to make sure your trades do everything correctly, not us.
03:54But the problem we've got is the plaster's finished doing the bottom sheets in your laundry
03:59and then just told the waterproofers, yeah, go for it.
04:02They've put the self-leverer in the water closet and we haven't even inspected the waterproofing.
04:06Because it wasn't even dry yesterday, last night.
04:08Yeah, so that's probably going to have to be all ripped out.
04:10Alright.
04:11Ah yes, last night the boys were busted for pushing ahead without getting inspections.
04:17And as a result, stuffed their laundry floor and were forced to pull up all their waterproofing.
04:23So after yesterday's debacle of missing all inspections, again last night they put self-leveller
04:29down in the water closet without getting the waterproofing inspected.
04:32I'm getting angry because we're going to warrant these houses for 10 years and sell them.
04:36Right?
04:37Well I understand.
04:38It's under 9 and 6's licence.
04:39Yeah.
04:409 and 6's the main building company that's overseeing everything.
04:44They've got their own standards and in the normal building world, the builders know the
04:49rules, they know the regulations, but 9 and 6's sometimes want things done differently.
04:55By different, we mean they expect even higher standards than what the general industry requires.
05:02And that's why any given house will undergo hundreds of inspections across the series.
05:08You know, week 9 this is a bit dumb that we should be having this conversation.
05:11We can't just keep telling us how bad Robbie and Matt are.
05:14It's like we've got to come up with a solution.
05:16We're the project managers.
05:17I understand that, but also 8 weeks ago I was a hairdresser, so we're still learning.
05:22What the issue is now is we need to try to present a room on the weekend, that's my biggest issue.
05:26It's not even about the room now, it's about getting a compliant for sale.
05:36We don't know what we're doing.
05:37While the boys have woken up in the doghouse, Sunny and Alicia are starting their day on a happier note.
05:44Knock, knock.
05:47And you thought I forgot.
05:51Oh.
05:52Oh.
05:53Happy wedding anniversary.
05:55Happy wedding anniversary.
05:57Ten years of bliss.
06:02They're the most beautiful bunch of flowers I think you've ever bought me.
06:06I think they are too.
06:07Happy anniversary.
06:08Love you.
06:09Love you.
06:10We've had 10 good years, haven't we?
06:14Yep.
06:15Ten years of happiness.
06:16I didn't say ten years of happiness, I didn't say ten years.
06:21It's not easy to be married to someone for ten years.
06:24It's not easy to be married to Alicia for ten years.
06:26You're like, how's your relationship?
06:28That's how it is today.
06:30Um, it is your fault, you wind me up, you do some purpose.
06:38**** off.
06:39What?
06:40I know I'm not the easiest person to deal with at times.
06:42You are absolutely **** gonna annihilate that couch.
06:45No ****.
06:47What?
06:49What but no, I'm proud of us
06:52Dear leash Wow
06:54Ten years. I love you so much. Thank you for doing life with me
06:58I appreciate you and all that you do here's to the next ten love sunny major
07:05Thanks, babes. No worries Bob. Love you and get up get ready and get to work
07:12Another ten I
07:14Wouldn't threaten you with that wouldn't threaten you with a good time
07:19I'll sunny by his brownie points
07:22In house to hand and can't can't afford to buy anything at all
07:27They were here in that bed
07:31We feel the pressure and the stress of the budget every day
07:34That's the major point of concern for us like on a daily basis
07:40You know that stone you put as your splash back for the
07:44Make-up area. Yes, we haven't seen that it was screwed off every hundred
07:49meal
07:51So we're gonna have to rip it off
07:55Yeah, and then we're gonna have to villa board it. Yeah, then reinstall it. All right
08:01Yeah
08:02You want to like deliver a room, you know that is to our standard and our style
08:08But it's almost near on impossible to do that when you have no money
08:12Han and can have separated their butler's pantry and laundry to create an area for a kitchenette and they've also deleted the window and added a door to make the laundry more functional
08:24Practical but not cheap. So this week we really need to win some money
08:29While the girls are flat broke
08:31Next door in house one Emma and Ben are practically rolling in it
08:37It's Emma and Ben in house one
08:39Thanks to winning 80 grand in cash last week
08:42It's Emma and Ben
08:44Definitely still sticking tight to our budgets and what we're spending things on
08:50But we're not as desperate as we were so they are comfortable with their budget and comfortable with their progress this week
08:57Yeah, we're at a good stage. We're just plastering. Yeah, just stopping up one of the few skills. I don't have
09:03Yeah, just one of the few skills that you don't have that did sound a bit arrogant
09:09I can do everything else one of the many skills. I don't have that's what I should have said. Yeah, that's more like it
09:16Emma and Ben are keeping things compact
09:18Combining their laundry and pantry into one stylish stone
09:22Elevated appliances and bold finishes will complete the space
09:27This week under control as usual. They're thinking ahead. I don't know why you get so angry
09:33Because I've organized all these appliances Ben last week. There was nothing for them to go into it
09:38Well, that's a turn up for the books. There's an argument in house one
09:43Ben got a quote for a kitchenette to go on the deck and it was sitting at eight grand
09:49It's such a waste of money. It's not honestly such a waste of money and it's gonna look
09:53So eight grand for a kitchen and I said we could make our own one
09:58We can just build our own
10:01Cabinetry it'll cost us six grand in labour material and we're labour poor and then Ben said no
10:09No, it's gonna look better than anything just because you wanted a fridge with a glass door. No, no
10:13That's not what I'm doing
10:21We just got to be careful with what we're spending because I think it can get away from us. That's true
10:28Back over at house five Dan's called a house meeting
10:33So obviously we've missed a heap of inspections. That's clear
10:36Someone's taken the piss and wrote and done over all our inspection signs as if it's a just a laughing laugh it off
10:46Who wrote that
10:49Was it you
10:55This is still a home that we have to sign off and go to market and now we miss critical inspections
11:00So the self-level then on top of the water proofing in the water closet
11:07We'd like that wasn't inspected
11:11Ida's gonna have to come down it's his license and he's gonna have to say yes or no whether we rip it up or leave it
11:16While we wait for big boss dog a dough to come down and inspect the waterproofing. We should look at some designs
11:24The boys have decided to tweak their floor plan in the back of house
11:27Swapping the pantry and the laundry and as a result the new European laundry is barely big enough to swing a sock
11:44I can't even go inside
11:47To be honest if they said we had to revive everything there's no way in hell whatsoever. We would be presenting a room this week at all
11:57Every last night
12:12Not gonna make you pull that up. It's it feels like it's bonded pretty well
12:17Carry on as you were as you were as you were last
12:22Best case scenario just happened everything's
12:24Okay, thanks guys
12:26Thanks
12:28Thanks
12:33I love you. I love you too
12:38Finally let's check in on house three
12:41Britain Taz have gone for pure practicality adding in a kitchenette and shelving in the pantry
12:47It's all looking good, but right now Taz has got other things on his mind. Have you got something to do today?
12:53a challenge
12:55Yeah, yeah
12:57Do you know what you're doing?
13:02Probably building something

13:15Go
13:17He's going hard
13:19He's gonna kill someone
13:21Once upon a time in the land of Ballarat stood a castle on a hill that would one day hold the tradie games
13:38The tradie games
13:42Blockheads would travel from far and wide
13:44Or just 35 minutes from darlesford
13:46To participate in these prestigious games
13:48In an attempt to win the coveted prize of ten thousand dollars from bunnings and ten thousand dollars worth of mature trees

20:15Thank you
20:16Everyone was telling me to call bingo
20:17I already called it
20:18When I chucked the mallet
20:19We called it first
20:20Even though they came second in that round
20:22Hannah and Karen are still in the lead
20:24Now it's time for some medieval portrait painting
20:29One person from each house will be blindfolded and directed by their partner
20:34To create the most accurate and lifelike portrait in two minutes
20:38Of the one and only Jester Dan
20:40Oh we're doing some finger painting

21:13Jibbed
21:14Thanks
21:15I was just getting more pissed off every game we did
21:17But we're still winning
21:18I think it was subjective
21:19Yep even with that Emma and Ben win
21:21Han and Kan are still overall well out in front with 17 points
21:27Now onto our final tradie quest of the day
21:30The Ye Olde Water Barrow Race
21:32Contestants must transport water from one end of the death defying course to the other
21:38Using a Bunnings wheelbarrow
21:40Oh and one more thing
21:42And the king has made a decree
21:44There will be double points for the last game
21:48That's
21:50Tell us which contestants are creating your favourite room
22:04All you have to do is jump online and vote
22:08And while you're there don't forget to check out all of our amazing room galleries
22:12It's the final event of the tradie games
22:18Our teams must use their wheelbarrows to get as much water as possible across the course
22:24And into their bucket before the siren sounds
22:27And while Han and Kan are in the lead
22:29It's still anyone's to win
22:31Because
22:32The king has made a decree
22:34There will be double points for the last game
22:38Double points
22:40Double points
22:42So really it's anyone's game
22:44That's
22:45I'm sorry about the double the points because we had a clear lead
22:48Even if we came last we still would have won
22:50So
22:52For me
22:53I was ticked off

36:29is it
36:30all you boys do is just deflect deflect deflect
36:33we don't deflect mate
36:34we've got no idea about landscaping
36:36mate we have no idea about landscaping
36:37and Matt's running bull burrows and helping the landscape
36:40no it's not right let's see
36:43ah
36:44ah
36:45ah
36:46three men
36:53one hill
36:54and about six hours sleep between them
36:56what a beauty
36:57what a good view
36:58it's back of house week
37:00and as the boys savour in silence
37:02they ponder the eternal question
37:04what could possibly go wrong today
37:07our teams are racing to finish their final five internal rooms
37:12that's 25 rooms between them
37:15it's a big job
37:17but Sonny seems pretty relaxed
37:19alright I'll see you later on Scotty
37:20see you girls
37:21in house four this week
37:22Sonny and Alicia are one of only two houses
37:25not to change the layout of their back of house
37:28opting to keep things uncomplicated
37:31while their tradies are busy inside
37:34Sonny's busy outside
37:36scoping out neighbours Britt and Taz
37:39because when two cops live next door
37:41suddenly everything looks suspicious
37:43so I was coming back from the cafe
37:45and I noticed that there's four tippies
37:47standing around out the back of house three
37:48and there's a fair bit of subframe built for the deck
37:51which to me is working ahead for next week
37:54this year the teams know their entire room build schedule
38:02and while the contestants have been allowed to work on their landscaping
38:05since the start of the competition
38:07there is a strict rule that they're not allowed to work on anything else
38:11other than their current week's room or area
38:14and this week it's very clear
38:17it's back of house week
38:19that's the garage, laundry, mudroom, pantry and water closet
38:24not the back of deck in the alfresco area
38:27what's going on next door?
38:29what's going on next door?
38:30which house?
38:31house three
38:32house three
38:33is it working ahead if you're doing subframe for a alfresco week?
38:42is that what they're doing?
38:43pretty sure
38:44looks like it
38:45why is it a problem to work ahead on the block?
38:47well it's just the rules
38:48you're not allowed to work ahead
38:49you do your room each week
38:51the only thing we're allowed to work ahead in is landscaping
38:54it's not landscaping it's a back deck
38:56it's alfresco
38:57mmm
38:58ok
39:00I know what you're thinking
39:02what's the difference between alfresco and landscaping?
39:06alfresco is Italian for outside
39:08and so it includes the outdoor living areas of the deck and the Stratco shed
39:14landscaping on the other hand is the facade, the pool and the front and back yards
39:19and while we're on the subject
39:21here's some fabulous AI of me eating pizza alfresco
39:25seriously none of us will have jobs soon
39:30there's four chippies out there now
39:32building that subframe
39:34so on Monday house three will be ahead
39:36so I'm not sure what the rules are there and what happens
39:39but to me that's a distinct advantage for them
39:42interesting
39:44I don't know if anyone else is that haven't walked that far
39:47but to me that's not backyard that's alfresco
39:50I'll make the call
39:52sweet
39:53he's playing a strong fair game Sonny
39:57it's definitely getting to the end of the competition
39:59and it's take no prisoners
40:01I thought you were the nice one
40:03no
40:04not today
40:05see it's not always me
40:06meanwhile over at house three
40:09it's the moment of truth
40:11so someone's made aware to my attention
40:14yep
40:15that all this subframe was done
40:19technically this is alfresco area
40:26this is part of landscaping
40:29next week clearly states it's the alfresco and the straco shed
40:33so the deck where they've done their subfloor is part of the alfresco not landscaping
40:39so that's like the border there
40:41oh
40:42that's landscaping
40:47on Monday no one can work on here for a day
40:49full day you can't work on the deck
40:52oh
40:56it's a technicality
40:58someone brought it to my attention
40:59I'm like it's fair
41:00I get it
41:02who brought it to the attention
41:04a neighbour
41:05oh yeah
41:06Sonny and Leish
41:07yeah Sonny and Leish
41:08good on them
41:14I'm a bit annoyed that Sonny's picked us up on a technicality
41:19we played the game right
41:20we got told we could do landscaping from week one
41:22and now because everyone else hasn't listened
41:24and now they're going to be behind on landscaping
41:26now they're trying to penalise us
41:28hey look we'll cop a day
41:30it'll be hard but we'll cop a day
41:32I think they're just trying to do whatever they can for a win
41:36so no works on this deck on Monday
41:39yep
41:40look we have different styles of playing the game
41:42but you know
41:44it's just not how we compete
41:46yep while it might be back of house week
41:48it's the backyards where the drama is
41:52and there could be more to come
41:54how are ya?
41:55good
41:56is your landscaper here?
41:57he is
41:58I reckon he's out the back
41:59now he's gone ahead and done all these works
42:01yep
42:02without doing any sort of inspections or anything
42:05you might want to get him out of here
42:10yeah
42:11because this is all going to be ripped up
42:12okay
42:13coming to theme here missing inspections
42:21hey mate
42:22what's happening?
42:23what are you after?
42:26what am I after?
42:27yeah
42:28on the
42:29on the
42:30did you remember us receiving that email?
42:32from nine and six
42:36so the specific one's the inspection
42:38second one
42:39sub-grade inspections must be completed by
42:41representative from nine and six
42:43so Dan comes back with a piece of paper
42:45to say that we didn't have the soil
42:49under the gravel approved
42:53think about that
42:54that's for paving
42:55yeah
42:56this is not paving

42:58it's still gonna
42:59well we still need to see the sub-grade
43:03okay

43:06about
43:07that's for paving
43:08that's a paving detail
43:09yeah
43:10so I haven't at this stage that's
43:12yeah

43:21sub-grade inspections are required prior to the placement of crushed rock
43:27whether stabilised or otherwise
43:29mmm
43:31yeah that's how that's interpreted though isn't it?
43:34well
43:35not really

44:33Yeah, you were going here encouraging, weren't you?
44:35Didn't clap him once.
44:36Oh, I didn't say you clapped, but you were encouraging him.
44:39I've seen him working, but I was focused on...
44:41Ah, okay, but you know...
44:42I'm just going to go inside for a minute.
44:43Everyone else is happy for him, and everyone's...
44:45Are you boys ever going to, like, actually put your hand up and say we have actually
44:48made a mistake and missed it?
44:49How's Matt meant to know?
44:50How's Matt meant to know when he's...
44:51All you boys do is just deflect, deflect, deflect.
44:53We don't deflect, mate.
44:54We've got no idea about landscaping.
44:56Mate, we have no idea about landscaping, and Matt's running wheelbarrows and helping
44:59the landscape.
45:00This is your house, boys.
45:03You're on the block.
45:04This is your one chance.
45:06Take ownership and be in charge.
45:09But you're on that email.
45:10Mate, I don't know what CSRTP and LNOP means.
45:14I'm not a landscaper.
45:16We're getting towards the end of the competition, and your house is failing.
45:20The last two weeks, they've been a failure, and now the landscape is starting to fail.
45:24And we've put our hand up, and we're going to fix it.
45:27It's not like we're going to argue with you.
45:28Like, we're just saying.
45:29They're in jeopardy of not getting CFO because they're missing inspections.
45:32And all they want to do is point their finger at everyone else and say it's a stitch-up.
45:39The stitch-up's in the mirror, boys.
45:41It's you.
45:42I just need to go inside.
45:43Okay.
45:44Have fun.
45:45Ah, come on, boys.
45:47Remember what you were saying five days ago?
45:53Positivity's gonna get us across the line.
45:57Yeah, what happened to that?
45:58Today's a great day.
46:00I've got my health and the sun is shining.
46:03The rest of everything can get .
46:06That's the spirit.
46:07The plaster's drying, the cabinetry's going in, and things seem to be settling down.
46:24Time for Shelley and I to stir the pot.
46:26There for Clint in the garage?
46:27Yeah, nice.
46:28It's a good-looking car, isn't it?
46:29Is that a thousand kilometres?
46:30Yes, without having to recharge or refuel.
46:31And did you know if you go under 80 kilometres, like if you're riding around town, it charges
46:33it.
46:34So you could go a whole week of doing school pick-ups and run-arounds in your local suburb
46:41and you wouldn't have to charge it at all.
46:42Hey, guys.
46:43Hello.
46:44Wasn't this a little nice surprise to drive home in yesterday?
46:45That was lovely.
46:46Yeah, it was lots of fun.
46:47Can we help you take this inside while we're heading in?
46:48No, I've got this one.
46:49No, you're all right?
46:50I'll put the boot down.
46:51Let's have a look what you've got.
46:52Oh, there's a little button.
46:53Hey!
46:54Super hybrid.
46:55Oh, I like that.
46:56Look at that.
46:57Yeah, that's nice.
46:58Yeah, that's nice.
46:59Yeah, that's nice.
47:00Yeah, that's nice.
47:03Yeah, they're nice and quiet.
47:05They're really quiet.
47:06Flying along those country roads.
47:08It certainly is a nice car, and hopefully it'll look right at home in Emma and Ben's
47:13garage, where they're making a statement with a huge Graphico wall featuring a vintage
47:18photo of Lake Dalesford, but their laundry also features a bit of clever design.
47:23So, obviously your machines are sitting up here?
47:25Yes.
47:26Why doesn't this happen all the time, Cheryl, where they're elevated so you don't have
47:29to bend over?
47:30It makes so much sense.
47:31Yeah.
47:32You've got your little drawer.
47:33Yes.
47:34Okay, so you can put your baskets in there.
47:35Yes.
47:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
47:37Actually, you've just reminded me I need to get some baskets.
47:38As usual, House 4's Sunny and Alicia have gone with a functional space, including a
47:50drying cabinet in the laundry and a second fridge in the pantry.
47:53I've kept this complete side laundry.
47:54You've got to keep your sink separate.
47:55You've got to keep your sink separate.
47:56One's for food, one's for laundry.
47:57Yes.
47:58So behind you's all pantry.
47:59And then you've got another fridge hutch here.
48:00Another fridge.
48:01That's all your dog food.
48:02The fridge dog food?
48:03Yeah.
48:04Yeah.
48:05Yeah, we have fresh dog food in our dog fridge.
48:06We have some sport dogs out there.
48:07Frankie, you should come home with me.
48:08Yeah.
48:09You should come and live at my house.
48:10No, I think she almost would.
48:11Yes, I know I love you too.
48:12Now, I just realised that you haven't had a win yet, a room win.
48:25You've had lots of wins.
48:26Lots of wins.
48:27Never a room win.
48:28Never a room win.
48:29Never had a room win.
48:30I am not going home a roomless winner.
48:31Well, it's looking good to me.
48:33It's looking great.
48:34After last Sunday, I was like, who wants to win a powder room and a mud room?
48:39Turns out we do.
48:42In house two, Han and Kan are pulling out all the stops this week, including a window.
48:47Now, you removed the window in there.
48:50We have, yes.
48:51In the laundry?
48:52Yes, correct.
48:53And put a door.
48:54Put a door in.
48:55Because the idea is we want you to just take your laundry straight outside.
48:59Instead of coming through to where we are.
49:01Yeah, that's a great idea.
49:02And then less mud that way as well.
49:04Yep, yep.
49:05Great idea.
49:06Hard the door isn't all they have up their sleeve.
49:09Their secret weapon for this week is a supercar garage.
49:13Colour drenched in matte black, complete with hex lighting and checkered flag flooring.
49:19Yep, the girls have been absolutely redlining their engines on this one.
49:24That's why you have won my Hardest Worker Award.
49:28Hey!
49:29Well done, Han.
49:30And you get five trees the size of Shelly.
49:33Oh, gold.
49:34There you go.
49:35Amazing.
49:36Amazing.
49:37You picked this up a few times.
49:38Yes.
49:40Yeah, we really need that.
49:41You need it, you're right, because your budget is very tight.
49:43We need it.
49:44That's why we tried so hard yesterday, Scotty.
49:49Like, we gave that all we had, because we were like, we need this money, we need this
49:53win, and it slipped away.
49:55For Britt and Taz, this week's all about function dictating form.
50:00They have maximised their space with a galley kitchen and shallow open shelving.
50:06You've got a sink or something there?
50:07We've got a sink there.
50:09Yeah.
50:10And we've got one in the laundry as well.
50:12So it's all storage and all laundry?
50:14A lot more storage to go in here.
50:17Everything's open, everything's easy access, you can dump stuff in the butler's pantry.
50:21There's a laundry there as well, so it's a layout well thought out.
50:27Now, where is your missus?
50:29She's shopping.
50:32She didn't wait around for us to visit.
50:34I know, I know.
50:35I think we're ill.
50:36Come on, shall, let's go.
50:37I've had enough.
50:40In House Five, the first thing you notice with the boys is their laundry, if you can
50:45call it that.
50:47I would call it a cupboard with dreams.
50:50This European style laundry is a big gamble in a house this size.
50:55You know, if you're a husband and wife for three kids and you decide to buy this house
51:00as your permanent home, the European laundry doesn't cut it with three kids.
51:04I mean, the laundry's the busiest room in my house.
51:07So as long as there is somewhere to put your laundry once it's done, before the folding
51:12happens.
51:13Just for the folks at home, I just want to point this out, that Matt moves all the time.
51:18And in this little scene that we do, where he's told not to move, everyone's told not
51:22to move.
51:23And in order for him not to move, Shelly's doing this.
51:26Look, down.
51:29It's just a little reminder.
51:31Because he always moves.
51:32Move.
51:33He's an idiot.
51:35Sunday night.
51:38Wow.
51:39Judging begins on the last of their internal spaces.
51:42I don't think any of us feel like sitting down.
51:44The pantry, the laundry, the mudroom, the WC and the garage.
51:49Collectively, you've done 25 rooms in a week.
51:54Yep.
51:55That does the job.
51:56Whoa.
51:58Look at this.
51:59Whoa.
52:00That really just whacks you in the face, doesn't it?
52:02I have to say the quality of finishing is incredible.
52:05I'd live here.
52:06I'd buy it.
52:07This is something that I'm definitely going to be replicating in my place.
52:10I think it's fantastic.
52:11Right.
52:12I'm home.
52:13Let's go.
