00:00Previously on the block...

00:02Iceberg! Get ahead!

00:04It's Backyard Week, where a massive 6,000 square metres of landscaping needs to be finished.

00:11Being outside, it's a whole new playing field.

00:13Just the scale of this week is ginormous.

00:16I just don't know how we're going to pull it off.

00:17Em and Ben are under the pump.

00:19The cellar, that hasn't been touched. There's so much work in that.

00:22I need more labour.

00:23Anne and Can had a cabana clash.

00:25It's a lot of time and money, which neither of those we have.

00:28Candice has just snubbed the cabana and just said,

00:31What's the easiest thing to do? Paint it.

00:33I'm not doing what everyone else is doing.

00:36I will do what I want to do.

00:37The cabana is a cabana, and that is all it shall be.

00:41I love you, though. I hate you right now.

00:43Tonight.

00:44Now, we've been digging a bit more about this chimney.

00:47It's a lot worse than what we think.

00:49The fireplace is not compliant.

00:50We'll just pull the fireplace down.

00:52That's an option.

00:53From what I'm hearing, it's got to come off all this.

00:56Let's render.

00:57Yeah.

00:57Never, never, ever get it up.

01:00It's up to destroy the building.

01:02We're in all sorts here.

01:03But the big question is, will the tiles dry in time?

01:09He's saying it's not dry.

01:12Hasn't dried at all.

01:14You just need to calm down. Everything will be fine.

01:16I told you.

01:20Half walls, concrete everywhere, and it looks like a mess.

01:23I know there's a lot of work, but it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

01:26We're going to wreck the whole garden.

01:28Are you serious?

01:28Like, we've just spent four days putting this in.

01:31Completely out of our debt.

01:32And now it's like, are we actually going to present a backyard?

01:35Oh, I just, oh, girl.

01:49Every now and then, we snag a couple that take to block life like a fish to water.

01:54A couple that wake up with a pep in their step and a smile on their doll.

02:00But backyard week, it has other plans.

02:05So how are you feeling about it all?

02:08Oh, stressed at this stage, yeah.

02:10Yeah, I'm feeling stressed.

02:11We didn't sleep well last night.

02:12I didn't sleep at all.

02:13It's because you're thinking about everything that needs to be done.

02:15I was up at three.

02:17I think we were just wildly under-resourced for this week.

02:21Well, we're building, like, essentially three rooms with the deck, cabana, and the cellar.

02:26It's like three rooms as well as the whole landscape.

02:28And this deck with the stairs, it's just a lot of cutting in landings.

02:33And so lots of things happening.

02:37House one have a huge $130,000 set aside, including the money they've saved.

02:42But landscaping mistakes can be expensive.

02:46Their original plan was to lay concrete between the back stairs and the pool.

02:50We pour this up Monday.

02:52Feels like a sea of concrete.

02:54We decided it wasn't going to work Tuesday.

02:57Well, actually, Dan decided it wasn't compliant.

03:01Their paving slab is way too steep.

03:03It's five times the limit it needs to be.

03:05So this may have to be ripped up.

03:07They pulled it up Wednesday.

03:09And that cost them thousands.

03:10Twenty to be exact.

03:15Today there's a new plan.

03:17That lawn held up by a retaining wall.

03:19Luke, you'll come and drill all these holes, do the retaining wall, which is good.

03:23Yeah, cool.

03:24That'll set today.

03:26Then we'll probably backfill later today, maybe tomorrow, once it's killed.

03:29I think you don't want to go too early.

03:31That's the worry, though, isn't it?

03:32So by today, you want the walls up, insulated, battened out.

03:38And then roughed in, electrical, and then plastered by today.

03:42So then tomorrow you just do the floors.

03:45Dan has come and spoken to us this morning.

03:48He's laid out what he reckons the schedule needs to be.

03:51So we should get close today to finishing the inside of that wine cellar so we can start

03:56tiling and putting walls up, joinery for Saturday.

04:00Is there a part of you that thinks, I'm never going to finish this?

04:03Yeah, yeah, we're still stressing about it.

04:04Every single part of me.

04:06We've never delivered anything like this before.

04:10We've never done a pool cabana.

04:11We've never built a cellar.

04:13We've never landscaped to this scale.

04:14Completely out of our depth.

04:18Yeah.

04:22Next door in house two, Han and Ken are worried about money.

04:26They've left themselves just 50 grand for the entire yard.

04:30That includes a huge fireplace area and lots of bespoke pavers.

04:35I'm just sick of stressing about money.

04:37I know.

04:38I'm sick of stressing about it.

04:39At this point, I'm like, whatever.

04:43It sucks.

04:43I just don't have a yard.

04:45Like, it's just ****.

04:48Yeah, budget-wise, we think we're in a really dire position.

04:51It's on your mind all the time.

04:52You're looking around and watching people work and you're seeing dollar figures flying

04:55everywhere, you're seeing materials come in.

04:56You're hearing, oh, we need this now.

04:58And you're like, ah!

05:00Then I wake up thinking about it, go to bed thinking about it.

05:04Like, money and numbers.

05:08Over it.

05:09I've got to get out of here before I implode.

05:13Two doors down, Sunny and Alicia are also thinking about their budget.

05:21I've allocated 50 grand for the backyards, but that is a bare minimum.

05:27There's no way you're doing it for 50 grand.

05:28So what's your budget?

05:31We'll probably spend $90,000.

05:32Yeah.

05:33And that 90 grand is going on a family-friendly yard with a bocce court, a massive arbor,

05:40seeding heaps of people and grass.

05:43Lots of grass.

05:44Whether you want to go and sit down on the grass and lay on the grass, or the kids can

05:49play out the back, or even if you don't have kids, it's just nice just to be able

05:52to walk around the yard.

05:55So what are you going to do today to keep on track?

05:58Today's the grass is going down.

06:00Yeah, parts of the grass will be going down.

06:02There's still more paving to do.

06:03There's concrete to pour.

06:05There's trees, a million to go in.

06:08There's heaps to do.

06:10Just a little girl with a big pot.

06:15We feel really good this morning.

06:17The guts of it is done.

06:19It's the finessing now.

06:20All the finishing touches.

06:21It's so relieving to be in that position, feeling good.

06:25And who wouldn't be with a 50 grand fireplace and a 50 grand pickleball court?

06:31So we have to prep for the pickleball court being installed.

06:35That pickleball court has been a storage yard, and you cannot see the concrete under it.

06:39It's been used as a thoroughfare, and we're getting to get that clean so the pickleball

06:44court can be installed.

06:47We made a deal.

06:48Rob was going to clean the pickleball court, and I was cleaning the pool.

06:52So I got out the pressure washer, and gave everyone a bit of a show.

07:08Scrub your floors, do your chores.

07:10Go, go, go.

07:11You're my hose.

07:13I'm having as much fun as I can now, because if you can't be cleaning the pool and your

07:17jocks, you can't be having much fun now.

07:21In house three, they're well ahead.

07:23They started work three weeks ago.

07:25And with a hundred grand to spend and help from high pages, they've gone all out on a PGH

07:31stone fireplace.

07:34Our plan is to walk out from your back doors through your afresco, and then to your left,

07:38you've got your seating area, which is what we designed, around a beautiful stone cladded fireplace

07:43that really stands out from the rest.

07:46Now, we've been thinking a bit more about this chimney.

07:50Yeah.

07:50It's a lot worse than what we think.

07:52Dan has rocked up and has said he's a bit concerned about our fireplace.

07:59The actual chimney needs to be 300mm above the roof line.

08:03That's 3.6 metres away.

08:06So wherever your back of your chimney is, wherever 3.6 away is from that, you've got to be 300mm

08:12above that ceiling, above the roof line.

08:16The fireplace is, the chimney needs to be a certain height relevant to the distance to

08:23the house.

08:24So if it's miles away from the house, it doesn't have to be as high.

08:27As the chimney is very close to the house, it needs to be built up past the height of

08:32the roof for it to be compliant.

08:34But the problem with that is the brickwork will be structurally unsound at that height.

08:40Worse than what we thought.

08:41Awesome.

08:41We can't build the chimney out of bricks that high.

08:47It's just not going to be structurally stable.

08:49It's going to be nearly two and a half metres.

08:51That is high, dude.

08:53Like, high.

08:55We'll just pull the fireplace down.

08:57That's an option.

08:59Oh, f***ing enough.

09:00I just, oh, go.

09:03Hmm.

09:04It's backyard week.

09:17And with four days to delivery, teams are in frenzy mode.

09:22Furthest behind is house two.

09:24They've just hit a snag with their pool tiles.

09:28Tiles around the pool edge are called gaping tiles.

09:31Unfortunately, Han and Cairns are 30 mils thicker than the rest of their pavers.

09:38So you've got a 30 mil to get the height.

09:40A problem picked up by Han's dad, Lee, who's lending a hand this week.

09:44Dad is a qualified builder, electrician, plumber.

09:48He's going to be working for minimum wage.

09:50In the budget situation we're in, it's just an extra pair of hands for us.

09:55And Dad's a massive problem solver.

09:58And he's taught me that there's nothing that can't be fixed.

10:03So that's what I'm saying 30 mils to, eh?

10:05I go after Curcio's.

10:07So now we have an issue around their pool.

10:09They've put their pool coper on, and it's really thick off the slab, about 30 mil.

10:13Now we've got a tile, we've got to bring that tile up level with that coper.

10:17How are we going to do that?

10:18What are we going to use?

10:19We're going to have to come up with a solution.

10:20And for solutions, enter the Curcio brothers.

10:24Can't we trowel glue, set, trowel glue again?

10:26We can, but it's going to cost them a lot of money on bags of glue.

10:29Can do that.

10:29Yeah.

10:30Can be done, of course.

10:31It can be, but they haven't got enough money to do it.

10:33Glue would probably do it, I reckon.

10:35That'd be...

10:35You're going to need more glue.

10:36Yeah.

10:36I'm just going to see if anyone's got open bags.

10:38Go see if you can buy some off the other houses.

10:40Good solution.

10:41We've liaised with the Curcio's 9 and 6 everyone, and they're going to have to get extra bags of glue.

10:46They're going to have to glue around the pool, let that set, and then they're going to have to glue again and then put the tile on top of it.

10:51So they're going to build up with glue over time.

10:53They haven't got time for this.

10:55They're out of money.

10:56It's going to cost them extra money for glue.

10:57This is just a big mistake.

10:59To get that glue, that means that I was running around like an idiot trying to find half bags at people's houses that they weren't using.

11:08Because I bought a heap of bags out the front that we're not using now.

11:12Come and have a look at these.

11:13Ben from house 1 gave us two bags.

11:17You can have all of that.

11:20Robbie and Matt did give me three quarters of a bag.

11:24You're welcome.

11:25Fun and games.

11:26The pool fencing is nearly done in all other houses.

11:31House 2, we haven't even started.

11:34How are you feeling about progress in the backyard?

11:38We got told that the pool fence had to be in tomorrow.

11:42We need the pavers down for that.

11:44We've only got one layer of the glue down.

11:46We need two layers minimum.

11:47So if we don't have the pool fence in, then we can't fill the pool tomorrow.

11:52We're just like nowhere near like where we should be.

11:58So, yeah.

12:04Six, eight weeks ago, Shade Spot came around and said,

12:06Hey, we're offering you a huge overhead shake-off for your pool area.

12:11And we went, hell yeah.

12:12Hey, boys, I wouldn't mind some shade here.

12:14Yeah, we're in Australia.

12:15The sun is hot.

12:17Sun is hot.

12:18And dangerous.

12:18Dangerous.

12:19It looks awesome, doesn't it?

12:21It's a lot of shade, mate.

12:22Oh, ask and you shall receive.

12:26You pulling down this side or you pulling down this side?

12:29So good.

12:30Because it will keep the concrete from turning into, you know, lava.

12:3565 square metres of shade.

12:37When you and I first spoke, you said that you wanted to think about the buyer of the house.

12:40Possibly being a family and wanted to actually spend their summers out here.

12:43So I can guarantee you this pool is going to get a hell of a lot more use over summer than the other houses.

12:48That's for damn sure.

12:50I think it's fantastic.

12:51No-brainer for us.

12:52Shade Spot, you've done it again.

12:55And then we get the big tree as well.

13:01Wow.

13:01That is insane.

13:09It is beautiful, mate.

13:11Great pick.

13:12That's a nice looking tree you got there.

13:15It's amazing.

13:16Another big deal on the block is the installation of the final sections of Modular Walls.

13:28And Dan's the perfect choice to tell us the benefits.

13:32Modular Walls, it's a true Australian innovation, engineered for simplicity, beauty and performance.

13:38Modular Walls are the perfect choice for premium finishes and acoustic attenuation.

13:42Is that a word?

13:46Modular Walls has been independently tested and rated by the National Acoustic...

13:49By the National Laboratory...

13:50By the National Laboratory...

13:52By the National Acoustic Laboratory.

13:55Delivering...

13:56Delivering a typical noise reduction of between 20 and 25 decibels.

14:02Modular Walls...

14:03I've lost it.

14:04That was creepy.

14:05I've lost it.

14:05Modular Walls complements a wide range of architectural styles, which is perfect across the five different

14:11houses on the block.

14:13Well, while you're on a roll...

14:15Once again, Kingspan Water Tanks are back on the block again this year.

14:18But this time, each house is not getting one, but two made-to-measure steel water tanks.

14:22Made from blue-scrobed aqua-plate steel in Django and Colourbond colours, these tanks really

14:27do match any home.

14:29Save money, save water, save the environment.

14:32Kingspan Water Tanks, taking water tanks to the next level.

14:36Right, back to the build.

14:39Over in House 3, they've got big chimney problems.

14:42This fireplace was, as per the very, very detailed architectural plans that were given.

14:47The fireplace...

14:48Week 3, these plans were given.

14:49Yeah.

14:50The fireplace was also built and finished last week.

14:53So we're all like, how has no-one noticed this till now?

14:56The issue we have in House 3 with their fireplace is that the chimney right now is way too low.

15:00It's actually got to be 300mm above the highest part of the roof.

15:06So where the ridgeline is, we've got to be 300mm above that with the chimney.

15:10Now this brings in structural elements too.

15:12How do we brace this chimney?

15:14So they've got options.

15:19They even put a flue in that's going to look like what they've already got on the roof.

15:24That's going to be very tall, very ugly.

15:27Or they knock it down.

15:29So the question is, do we get a flue made up somehow?

15:32Absolutely.

15:33Have to.

15:34Big flue.

15:36Yeah.

15:36And then we're going to have that flue brace back to the house.

15:43So now we're going to have to try and get another flue made up, which then we'll still have to brace it back to the roof line.

15:49This is massive for House 3, because this could play a big part in winning, and also a big part in winning at auction time.

15:56So I think if we could probably brick up to 300mm higher than the gutter, and then do the flue.

16:04Then it's like a two metre flue.

16:05We roll with that.

16:07You've got to remember, we've got to clad it still.

16:08Taz, I need you to find a flue.

16:12Art, there's another problem.

16:15The new flue has to connect to the fireplace by what's called a gather.

16:19To do that, the existing brick chimney has to come down.

16:23So the gather has to sit on top of that rollover.

16:27Exactly right.

16:28So then the bricks come down to the rollover, the gather goes on, the bricks go back up again.

16:35We called back the brickies and said, let's rip it down and start again.

16:40The fireplace was also built and finished last week.

16:43So we're all like, how has no one noticed this till now?

16:46Like, really?

16:47It's got to be done, but that's when the frustration came in.

16:51It's just like, we are so well poised to finish this.

16:54And now it's like, are we actually going to present a backyard, even though we were the most organised?

16:59And then the cladding.

17:01Oh, it's not finished, brick.

17:02Did that?

17:03Nah, it's PGH.

17:05In a day.

17:06PGH zone.

17:08The high pages, boys.

17:09Cladding that fireplace with the height that it was at is already a three-day job.

17:13And they were one and a half days through it.

17:16To now try, tear it all down, rebuild it, I don't even know how much time we're going to have for cladding it.

17:21Hmm.

17:22I can't get your break.

17:39We've been working on this backyard for so long.

17:41Back and forth to Troy with so much to put into it, so much of it has come together so well.

17:52And we just, um, just to hit a hurdle on a Thursday as big as this one is really, yeah, really testing me at the moment.

18:01Like, we can see the finished lawn, but it just keeps going further away from us.

18:20We won't stop, but it's just, yeah, getting to me a bit.

18:31We so love our pets.

18:39Don't we quiz?

18:40My camera roll is full of fashionable doggy pics.

18:44What about that one?

18:45No.

18:46I think that's my favourite.

18:48Now, I want to see your favourite.

18:50Showcase your dog's stylish side by uploading your most creative picture to nine.com.au, The Block.

18:57It could win you an amazing $25,000 cash from Simparica Trio.

19:03Make it great, because I'll be the judge.

19:14How is the retaining wall coming along?

19:18Yeah, the retaining wall's taken a lot longer than we hoped, so, yeah, we got crack and put

19:25the posts in so that sleepers could go in the next day.

19:29And as for the cellar...

19:31Half walls, concrete everywhere.

19:33Ours is still only a shell.

19:36And it looks like a mess.

19:37We need to deck it out with wines, gins and beer.

19:40But wine kind of fitting it out wasn't something we really considered.

19:47No.

19:49I'm just gathering quotes now.

19:51What are they coming in at?

19:52It'll probably be close to, like, 12 grand, probably 15 grand to fit it out.

19:56Yeah.

19:57We want to stock local wines of the region, and it just can't be cheap.

20:03No goon sacks.

20:04In House 2, Han is very proud of her not-so-secret weapon, Dad.

20:09I think, for me, I don't have my dad around.

20:12He's freaking incredible.

20:14There's nothing he can't do.

20:15I'll crack on back in here.

20:18And she's entrusted him with rendering the pool cabana.

20:24But there's one thing missing from Lee's block internship.

20:29So you want to go in and prank your dad?

20:31Yeah.

20:32I want to give him the full block experience.

20:34I'm remembering back to my first day where we had to pull down the ceiling

20:38after we'd done all that hard work.

20:46We don't squish our bats.

20:49We cut them.

20:50So that's got to come out and be done again.

20:52I think it's part of the block initiation, is foreman Dan tells you off and tells you

20:57to rip something down or take something out that you've done.

21:00We've basically rendered the cabana yesterday, and we came up with a plan that we were going

21:05to say that the primer he used was wrong, and he had to rip off all the render on the 3D cement.

21:12Hey, that primer you used, did you read the instructions?

21:16The primer?

21:16Yeah.

21:17Yeah.

21:17Because I don't think it's compatible with this.

21:20I was reading the other one, and I don't think it's compatible with this stuff.

21:24From what I'm hearing, it's got to come off all this.

21:27All this render?

21:28Yeah.

21:30How are we going to get it off now, though?

21:31How are you going to get it off?

21:33You'll never get it off.

21:35Never, never, ever get it off.

21:37You have to destroy the building.

21:39Yeah.

21:39It's definitely not coming off to a blanket, mate.

21:47That's not good.

21:48Wearing all sorts here.

21:51F***ing hell.

21:56How do you reckon we...

21:57Are you winding me up, you f***er?

22:01Mate.

22:01Mate, she said it too.

22:03She said...

22:04Come on, you're going to get it off.

22:06I thought, what am I going to do?

22:11This is f***ing my blanket.

22:13I couldn't even get it off myself.

22:15So I put the primer in the mix.

22:17I put the primer on the walls.

22:19He double-primed it.

22:20F***ing hell.

22:21This is...

22:21It's going nowhere.

22:25I hadn't said that, not me.

22:27You're in trouble.

22:30We wanted you to get the full block experience.

22:32A bit of a moment, then.

22:34That's 1-0.

22:351-0.

22:371-0.

22:37Yeah.

22:39Yeah, initiated now.

22:41Welcome to the block.

22:46Done.

22:47It's time.

22:52How'd you come?

22:57Oh, yes.

23:00Trading tricks time.

23:01Get in there, boys.

23:11Tim-tams.

23:12It's a beautiful day.

23:16Baby shower alert.

23:27It says baby shower alert.

23:27Woo!

23:28Double the fun for Emma and Ben and Steph and...

23:32Is Steph and Gianna around?

23:33Join us for high tea at Leonard Hill Estate from 4pm to 6pm.

23:38For some fun, last to celebrate the newest block, babies.

23:41See you there, Shelley.

23:42Yay!

23:42Oh, now I've got Shelley's number.

23:45I might text her on the weekend.

23:47I love a baby shower.

23:49Steph and Gianna and Emma and Ben, how special?

23:51Attending.

23:52Yes.

23:53No, thanks, Shelley.

23:54Can't wait.

23:55Bye.

23:56Shelley!

23:57Oh, that's awesome.

23:58Am I required to go?

23:59Oh, that's awesome.

24:00Oh, that's awesome.

24:01Am I required to go?

24:06What do we say, big baby shower?

24:09Raindrops on roses and brisks on kittens.

24:12Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.

24:15Brown paper packages tied up with springs.

24:18These are a few of my favourite things.

24:21What a surprise.

24:22With our mums and our friends.

24:24Oh, it was nice.

24:25And Steph and Gianna, it was lovely.

24:27Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes.

24:34Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes.

24:37Silver white winters that melt into springs.

24:40These are a few of my favourite things.

24:43Did everyone show up?

24:45No, not everyone did.

24:47The house too stayed on site.

24:50Must complete house.

24:52When the dog bites.

24:54When the bee stings.

24:56When I'm feeling sad.

24:58I simply remember my favourite things.

25:02And then I don't peel.

25:05Look, it's a busy week.

25:07But there's two weeks left on the block.

25:09And if you say no to going to something fun to celebrate life

25:13and being with all these fun people, having high tea and all the honest biscuits, you're an idiot.

25:19So bad.

25:20Now we know what you're having as far as the gender goes.

25:30You two.

25:31You've told us you're having a little baby boy.

25:33We are.

25:34You don't need to.

25:35You don't need to name it Scott.

25:39I just want to make that very clear to you.

25:41Thank God.

25:42It doesn't have to be Scotty.

25:43No.

25:44But as far as Jan and Steph are concerned, we don't know what the gender is.

25:49We don't know.

25:50We don't know yet.

25:51There was a gender reveal.

25:53Yeah.

25:54So there was a big black balloon sitting there.

25:56They are not aware of what they're having.

25:59No.

26:00Which is pretty cool.

26:01Taking guesses, taking bets.

26:02Boy.

26:03Boy.

26:04Boy.

26:05I reckon boy.

26:06Boy.

26:07Boy.

26:08Boy.

26:09Now there's something important to remember about Steph's colour preference.

26:14We wear beige.

26:15We wear white.

26:16We're tonal.

26:17Muted colours is what I'd say.

26:19One.

26:20Two.

26:21Three.

26:22Oh!

26:23It's a beige.

26:24It's a beige.

26:25It's a beige.

26:26It's a beige.

26:27Oh my God.

26:32Pop the balloon and what came out?

26:35Beige.

26:36Beige.

26:37Just a lot of beige.

26:38Like is that a boy?

26:39Is that a girl?

26:40Maybe it's a they them.

26:41I love it.

26:42There's a little block joke for us.

26:44I love it.

26:45Okay.

26:46Alright.

26:47Here we go.

26:48Let's do this for real.

26:49One.

26:50Two.

26:51Three.

26:52Go!

26:53I'm gonna be a girl dad.

26:54Oh my God.

26:55I'm gonna be more proud.

26:56I'm so excited.

26:57I always felt that it was a go.

27:10Now we need a pole dance.

27:11When does the pole dance happen?

27:12There was a pole dance as all baby showers should have.

27:13Can I have a lesson?

27:14Yes.

27:15We'll do a fireman spin.

27:16Okay.

27:17Yeah.

27:18So you're gonna have your inside arm up nice and high.

27:19Yeah.

27:20Outside arm across your tummy.

27:21You're gonna step back.

27:22One to the front.

27:23One to the back.

27:24And you spin around.

27:25Oh she's elegant.

27:26With a booty up.

27:27Let me tell you this.

27:28Ben is a very lucky man.

27:29Em is one hot little mix.

27:30Oh my.

27:31Emma is incredible.

27:32Oh my.

27:33Oh my.

27:34Climbing.

27:35And I'm like hey.

27:36You're pregnant.

27:37But like it didn't phase her.

27:38Yeah.

27:39Oh booty up.

27:40Booty up.

27:41Booty up.

27:42Booty up.

27:43Booty up.

27:44There's lots of poles across Adelaide that have had my name on it.

27:47Ah!

27:48Do I look sexy?

27:49Do I look sexy?

27:50Do I look sexy?

27:51Make sure you do the boxing.

27:52So sexy.

27:53Oh wow.

27:54No one knows who is the worst.

27:56Um.

27:57Um.

27:58Um.

27:59Um.

28:00Uh.

28:01Uh.

28:02Uh.

28:03Uh.

28:04Uh.

28:05Uh.

28:06Uh.

28:07Uh.

28:08Uh.

28:09Uh.

28:10Uh.

28:11Uh.

28:12Uh.

28:13Uh.

28:14Uh.

28:15Uh.

28:16Uh.

28:17It was.

28:18It was.

28:19It was.

28:20Yeah.

28:21Probably.

28:22It was pretty close.

28:23Everyone was really good at that.

28:24Oh, my God.

28:26Oh, my God.

28:27Oh, my God.

28:28Oh, my God.

28:29Oh, my God.

28:30Oh, my God.

28:31Ah.

28:32My God.

28:40Ha, ha, ha, ha.

28:44Finally, this big pickleball court that we somehow won many weeks ago is now being installed.

28:57All right, we're going to get this baby clean.

29:00The stream courts are about to come in.

29:02Just the size of it alone is huge because you could chuck a marquee on that.

29:07You could see a hundred people on that easily.

29:08Easily.

29:09You could have a wedding day.

29:10At house three, it's been fireplace up, fireplace down, fireplace up.

29:21Not great for backyard week nerves.

29:23I didn't get much sleep last night.

29:25Yeah, obviously just thinking about how important this backyard is and everything that we've

29:31put into it so far.

29:32We rocked back on our side and the chimney's fully bricked.

29:36Can't believe it.

29:39Amazing.

29:40It's just an incredible job.

29:41Like, I can't believe they got it finished last night.

29:45Yeah, it's still going to be a lot of work.

29:47Like, the detail of this cladding is huge.

29:49Like, they can only clad to about almost, I guess, halfway today because of the weight

29:53and then they'll clad the rest apart.

29:55It's going to be all hands on deck today.

29:57And that puts us in a spot today where we can have all the stonemasons come in.

30:01He's painting.

30:02Oh, that's beautiful.

30:03Just leave it like that.

30:04What, are you painting the rock side?

30:05Fantastic.

30:06No, you're going to be gluing the rock side.

30:07Oh my God.

30:08Oh my heroes.

30:09We've got the Curcio's coming in to help as well to try and get as much cladding as we

30:13can done.

30:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

30:16Leish spoke to the Curcio's and she knew the spot that we were in and the potential of

30:21us not finishing this week.

30:23So, it definitely felt good to have those guys come in and trying to help us.

30:27All the materials here?

30:28All the materials here?

30:29All the materials here?

30:30Yeah.

30:31All glue here.

30:32Stone here.

30:33Yeah, good.

30:34I'll be cutting stone all day too.

30:35At the start of the game, we sort of said, we want to win, but we don't want to win at

30:37all costs.

30:38You just want to play, play the game hard.

30:40But if you can help people, there's nothing wrong with helping people and we have helped

30:43people.

30:44I can still play hard and still help.

30:46Get paint on it.

30:47It's going to dry and then we'll be here in the Arvo and we'll get cracking.

30:53Did you possibly pull this off?

30:55Oh, I don't know.

30:56That cladding is days and days of work and we're going to get some rain today, so...

31:01It's a four day job and we've got two days to do it.

31:06So, with the fireplace...

31:08Yeah.

31:09I can't get Tommy here until Sunday morning.

31:12Yeah.

31:13To fit off the rest of the flue.

31:14Yeah.

31:15So, what he needs is a scaffold set up for him, ready for him to quickly install this,

31:20hopefully within an hour.

31:21Yeah.

31:22And then we'll have to drop the scap just before reveal.

31:25Yeah.

31:26You're stressing about the flue.

31:32Next door in house two, their fireplace, deck and pool tiles are looking good.

31:37Yeah, it's all good.

31:40They've even got a little bit of turf lane, so you'd think they'd be feeling better.

31:50Okay.

31:51How are we feeling today and why?

31:54Yeah.

31:55Well, obviously she's not feeling great.

31:57You're feeling stressed again.

31:59Oh, yeah.

32:00And you're biting me.

32:01You're really biting you.

32:03You just need to calm down.

32:05Everything will be fine.

32:06I told you.

32:13Can.

32:16Yeah.

32:17Our plan for the cellar, again, it's so loose because this cellar still doesn't look like it's going to get delivered.

32:26We're running out of time to put tiles down.

32:28Yeah.

32:29And our tiler can't tile.

32:31He's busy this weekend.

32:37Hello.

32:38Adrian, it's Ben and Em here from house one.

32:40How are you doing?

32:41Good, mate.

32:42How are you?

32:43What are your chances of getting up here this afternoon?

32:46Um.

32:47Zero chance.

32:48Again tomorrow.

32:49Yeah.

32:50Once I get this rock wall done.

32:51Yeah.

32:52I'm happy to help you do it.

32:53Yeah.

32:54Possibly a couple of us can come for an hour or so.

32:56Yeah.

32:57And smash out an hour of power.

32:58Yeah.

32:59And we might get you a good start.

33:01Yeah.

33:02It's risky because we don't really have the money just to blow on tiles and not use it.

33:07We're really banking on the boys.

33:09So, let's just see.

33:11And that's just one thing of many.

33:14Well, we've got some concreting to do.

33:16We've got some gardening to do.

33:19Painting to do.

33:21Salah is so far off.

33:24And pool cabana, the shell's there.

33:28No sauna in place or anything.

33:34Well, this is organised chaos.

33:37Woohoo.

33:38Landscape week.

33:39Here we come.

33:40Come here.

33:41Come here.

33:42Come here.

33:43Don't get run over.

33:44That'd be terrible.

33:46Hello, Shayna.

33:47Hi.

33:48I'm so excited you're joining Shelley and I for walk around.

33:52I can't wait.

33:53I don't get to do this.

33:54It's amazing.

33:55It's so good.

33:56But I actually have a present for Frankie from Phoenix and I.

33:57What?

33:58Really?

33:59Yep.

34:00Have a look at this Frankie.

34:01Oh, she's loving it already.

34:02Let me get Phoenix out.

34:03Adio.

34:04Come on, little girl.

34:05Here we go.

34:06Oh.

34:07Shona, you've got top shelf on the product here.

34:08Beautiful.

34:09Nothing but the best for Frankie from Simparica and I thought she would love everything in

34:22here.

34:23I reckon she will love everything in here.

34:24There you go.

34:25She's off straight away.

34:26Right.

34:27Shell's on her way.

34:28Yeah.

34:29We've got a whole bunch of things happening today.

34:30It's exciting that you're walking around with us.

34:31I can't believe the chaos.

34:32I never get to see this.

34:33I know.

34:34I'm loving it.

34:35Yeah, come on.

34:36There's been 200 people on site.

34:37I think Phoenix needs to have a play date with Frankie.

34:42Oh, thank goodness.

34:47Thank goodness.

34:48I cannot be on a sloping ground.

34:51I cannot be on an angle.

34:53Well, we did this just for you, Scotty.

34:55Yep, the skateboard ramp is gone.

34:57Replaced by a retaining wall and turf.

35:00Surrounded by curb-native garden beds.

35:02It's like a performance area.

35:03Isn't it?

35:04The fact that people can just sit there on different levels of seating.

35:07By the way, sorry to interrupt.

35:08Shana Blaze is on walk around.

35:09Hello, Shana.

35:10Welcome, Shana.

35:11Scotty, Shelley and Shana popped in this week for walk-arounds.

35:15It's a very usable set of stairs coming down.

35:18Yeah, it is.

35:19It'll be great.

35:20They've got their wine cellar going in.

35:21Is that coming along well?

35:22We do.

35:23We do have our secret weapon wine cellar.

35:25What's your plan for the layout in here?

35:27We've got wine racking on the back wall and the right wall,

35:30and then we'll just put a little table with some stools around it.

35:34But a couple wine barrels.

35:35Yeah.

35:36And that would be perfect,

35:37because we do have a lot of local wineries.

35:39Could get a wine barrel.

35:40She says again.

35:41Again.

35:42It's been in your face back.

35:43Yeah, we've just had a delivery from Hanging Rock.

35:45Hanging Rock and we've got passing clouds.

35:47Yes, you guys listen.

35:48Yeah.

35:49Fabulous.

35:50Okay, and then we've got our Contour 3D Cabana happening here by the pool.

35:53What's going in here?

35:54We've got our sauna that we won.

35:56Yes!

35:57That's going to go in there.

35:58Steam Saunas in Australia.

35:59Yeah, it'll be built in.

36:00Yeah.

36:01And what's in that middle area there?

36:03I've got a beautiful Bromley going in the middle,

36:05with two big armchairs and a pendant.

36:07And we've got a fridge, but we're not sure, like a little mini bar fridge,

36:11but we'll see where that fits.

36:12Yeah.

36:13See, I'd have a big bloody telly on the wall.

36:15You can stand out here and watch the cricket.

36:17Shelley and Scotty normally just have a chit-chat, have a yarn.

36:20Yeah.

36:21But Shana was with them, so she was dropping a few too many hints.

36:25She was pretty direct with what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

36:28The fact you've got a sauna inside and you're going to have a seating area,

36:32to me that could be a wellness sanctuary.

36:34Yeah.

36:35I know you want to go cricket and beers, but you've got your wine cellar there.

36:38No, no, Shana, everybody wants to do cricket and beers.

36:40The whole of Australia.

36:41No.

36:42No, they don't.

36:43Wellness is out.

36:44Wellness is out.

36:45Look, you agree with me, don't you?

36:47Yes, you do.

36:48Just put a different perspective on there, because I would actually have a bench seat.

36:52I wouldn't have chairs.

36:53So you could get half a dozen people in there.

36:55Yeah, okay.

36:56I do have some bench seats that I could pop in there.

36:58Yeah, that's a good idea.

36:59I think we've given way too much information here.

37:02We need to move on.

37:03I mean, we always take on the judges' feedback after the fact, but to take on the judges' feedback

37:08before, it's good, because it gives us a little head start.

37:15Hello, girls.

37:16Hello.

37:17So you're feeling zen, ladies?

37:18Oh, maybe a little too zen.

37:20Yeah.

37:21You look like you could fall asleep.

37:22Probably not in a good way.

37:25Shana came with Scotty and Shelley today, which was a huge surprise.

37:31She said I look tired and not in a good way, and I felt extremely self-conscious following

37:36that.

37:37But yes, Shana, you're right.

37:38I am tired.

37:40Okay.

37:41I love the pavers here.

37:42Yeah.

37:44What was the inspiration for going Japanese?

37:46Um, Ken and I just love, like, Japanese zen gardens.

37:50Like, we wanted to do, like, the full onsen sort of thing, because being a wellness capital,

37:56I guess, of Victoria, that's what we wanted to focus on.

37:58Five identical homes with the plunges and the cabanas.

38:01So we were like, well, what's the point of difference?

38:03And for us, it's that Japanese influence.

38:05But where we've had to rein it back is obviously budget at house two.

38:08We've had so many money issues.

38:09You've had some troubles, haven't you?

38:11And in Cairns, Japan on a Budget Backyard, we'll feature sandstone paving everywhere.

38:16A circular brick fireplace area and two classic Japanese torii gates.

38:21Maybe revisit a couple of little styling things in the house that matches, because I go in that house

38:27and I don't think one thing Japanese.

38:30And when somebody's in a space, they want to feel that flow.

38:33Yeah.

38:34So I feel like just a little bit of Japanese styling to connect to this would be so important to people to get,

38:39oh, we're Japanese.

38:40Our garage is Tokyo Drift.

38:42We've got the Fast and Furious.

38:44Yeah, that's not anime.

38:45And I don't know if you've noticed this.

38:47There's a beautiful round open fire.

38:49I feel that that's got a Japanese feel to it as well.

38:52Shane, I don't know if you know about these, but this is a hot cold plunge.

38:56Oh, I didn't know that.

38:57So you could run it as a spa, as a hot bath, or you can take the temperature right down to about 10 degrees, I believe, for a cold plunge.

39:04Wow.

39:05So if you're talking wellness, you can do either, either, or.

39:07Yes.

39:08That's perfect.

39:09And depending on what you've got going on in your contour 3D cabana, what's happening in there?

39:13Any more wellness in there?

39:14I mean, it's just a relaxation.

39:16We could sofa areas.

39:18Girls, you've had a really tough week this week.

39:22And when you get to that low point, who are you going to call?

39:26Daddy.

39:27Daddy.

39:28Where is Lee?

39:29He's in the cabana.

39:30Lee.

39:31Come on, mate.

39:32Hello.

39:33Oh, happy days.

39:34Saving the day from WA.

39:36He was so excited.

39:39This is my third day.

39:41It's been really, really hectic.

39:43Three days and I'm absolutely gone.

39:45Yeah.

39:46Imagine the girls, like, three months in this.

39:48Yeah.

39:49Great bloody effort by them.

39:50Good on you.

39:51Bye-bye.

39:52Thanks, guys.

39:53Energy, stop worrying about budget.

39:56I will if you're giving me a donation.

39:59Keep going.

40:00Keep going, Dad.

40:13It's walk around time.

40:15And this week, there's a special guest.

40:21Very nervous about an actual judge coming through.

40:24Yeah, wow.

40:25Are you ready?

40:26She's not allowed to give you any advice.

40:28I've been trying to stop her, but she's telling everybody what to do.

40:31Don't listen to him.

40:32I'll take it.

40:33Don't listen to him.

40:34Do these guys need much advice on how to bring the outside in or the inside out?

40:38I have to say, and I'm sure the feedback's come through, that every time I walk into one

40:41of your rooms, you steal my heart.

40:43Whether you get it right or wrong, you steal my heart.

40:45You know how to create something that invokes an emotion and this is incredible.

40:50What do you think of this?

40:51Yeah.

40:52Britt and Taz have a lot going on, including a fireplace area, a huge dry course riverbed,

40:58and paths everywhere.

40:59And I love this.

41:00It's like, which way should we go?

41:01Are we heading down?

41:02Yeah.

41:03Where are we heading?

41:04That is so inviting.

41:05We'll go this way.

41:06To the wellness area.

41:07This is the wellness area.

41:08Yeah.

41:09Based a lot of our backyard around.

41:10Wow.

41:11Yeah.

41:12Well, you had this thought from day one, didn't you?

41:15Yes.

41:16And it was that idea of when you were doing this rumpus room, was it going to be a rumpus?

41:20Was it going to be a media room?

41:21Do we make a second playroom?

41:22Yeah.

41:23And it's still contentious, isn't it?

41:25It's beyond contentious.

41:26The fact you don't have two living spaces undercover inside is a big issue.

41:32I don't care.

41:33Scotty won't hate me.

41:35But one difference would be just to take one of those machines out and put a lounge in

41:41there.

41:42Because people can't imagine.

41:43You have to speak it out to them.

41:45How crazy would it be, though, for you and I, girls weekend, up here, doing our workouts,

41:50our pilates, coming out here straight into the sauna, straight into the ice bath, then

41:55into your hot or cold plunge.

41:57She just wants to have a girls weekend at our house, I think.

42:00And the fact that you've gone with the protector, the glass, because I know that they do aluminium,

42:05they do all sorts of fencing, but the glass, again, just leads to the endless flow,

42:09doesn't it?

42:10You can sit up on your deck and you can see through to your grass.

42:12And you've made room for sun lounges inside the pool area.

42:15I like that.

42:16True nice big sun lounges.

42:17You've got two.

42:18And umbrellas as well.

42:19Nice big umbrellas.

42:20I want to look at that creek bed because I reckon kids are going to love that.

42:23Absolutely.

42:24It's amazing.

42:25Let's come have a look.

42:26This is a whole world for kids.

42:28Isn't it, Charles?

42:29It's amazing.

42:30It's like a little fairy land in there for them.

42:32Yeah, I agree.

42:33And pouring rain would be fun.

42:35Yeah.

42:36No, landscaping for us, we said from the start, was the most important thing.

42:39Kitchen and landscapes.

42:40You can really tell what you've done, how established it is.

42:42Like, I feel like it's so close to being finished.

42:45I can't even imagine what you're going to do in the next two days.

42:47Well, Shana, I spoke to Troy earlier, a couple of minutes ago, and he said he's going to

42:52be finished today.

42:53Besides the fireplace.

42:54This backyard will be hopefully finished today.

42:56That fireplace is really going to be down to the minute.

42:58Be down to the minute.

42:59Down to the minute.

43:05Hello.

43:06Scotty.

43:07This is good.

43:08It'll be better with water.

43:09Yes.

43:10At the moment it's called a hole.

43:11Sure.

43:12A watering hole.

43:13A big hole.

43:14That's pretty.

43:15The tiles around the edge are gorgeous.

43:16Yeah.

43:17I love them.

43:18With the water in that, it should be like a sparkling green is what we wanted.

43:21Yes.

43:22Rather than a blue pool.

43:23Along with that sparkling, plungy pool, their family-friendly yard will include a bocce court,

43:28lots of lawn, and a very generous seating area.

43:31We've gone with a different fence.

43:32Yep.

43:33Yes.

43:34But this greenery is going to...

43:35Grow it out.

43:36Grow it out.

43:37Looking at the arbour here, is this Wombat Park inspiration from our long lunch?

43:40Absolutely.

43:41How good is it?

43:42It's beautiful.

43:43The expo was absolutely from Wombat Park.

43:45We absolutely loved that.

43:46A couple of big tables underneath there and plenty of seating.

43:48Yeah.

43:49And you're going to have seating for like 14 people?

43:50No, no, no.

43:51Like 30.

43:5230?

43:53Yep.

43:54And you can have all your friends over.

43:55You could maybe host a wedding reception.

43:56This will be all grass back here, whether you get married back down here and have your

44:00reception here or who knows.

44:02Tell me about your Contour 3D or can we have a look?

44:05We've built our house the whole time and that's with a family like us in mind.

44:12You know what I mean?

44:13You can bring your family at Christmas time and have everybody stay.

44:15Yeah.

44:16There's more than enough room.

44:17So how does this work?

44:18Well, this is a toilet.

44:19Yeah.

44:20So that's a private room.

44:21You probably have to put a...

44:23That's frosting.

44:24We're going to have Graphico on there just fluted on the door.

44:27Oh, yeah.

44:28Yeah.

44:29And then your basin's going in there.

44:30Basin.

44:31I have a pedestal basin.

44:32A pedestal basin with a big mirror in there.

44:33Yeah, we're hanging a TV from the ceiling in here.

44:35A little TV.

44:36I'm making you happy.

44:37We have a futon at the end and this will be a kitchenette in here.

44:41So just a little bit self-container if the kids are having a little sleepover and you

44:44want to put them out in the backyard.

44:46It's a beautiful home you've created.

44:48And this blends perfectly.

44:49I think that's a great thing that your indoor-outdoor blends perfectly.

44:52Thanks, Shayna.

44:53So that's great.

44:54It's so nice to actually see you in person, hear it from you.

44:56Then not just Scotty on a Sunday night.

44:58Because he has his own little...

45:00I'm just a messenger.

45:02We haven't shot you yet.

45:03You'd want it to.

45:04Good luck.

45:05Thanks, Shayna.

45:10Hello, boys.

45:11G'day, g'day.

45:12G'day, everyone.

45:13How are you?

45:14Good to see you.

45:15Good to see you.

45:16This is a treat.

45:17It's my very first walk around ever.

45:19Oh, wow.

45:20So yeah, my treat as well.

45:21Shayna blaze.

45:22Into the backyard.

45:23I'm really loving this Trends fireplace, 50 grams worth.

45:27Weighs seven tonne or something, doesn't it?

45:29Seven and a half tonne.

45:30Seven and a half tonne.

45:31But I like how you finish it with the logs.

45:32You see, that finishes the whole thing off.

45:34Yeah, no one's allowed to touch those logs.

45:35No.

45:36Robbie and Matt's yard has something for everyone.

45:39An impressive fireplace.

45:40Plenty of grass for activities.

45:42The pickleball court.

45:43And a relaxing spot by the bottle tree.

45:47Just going to ask, what was the goal?

45:49Like, who are the people you imagine meandering through here?

45:52Well, everyone.

45:53Everyone.

45:54But the thing we wanted to really incorporate was lots of grass still.

45:58So that way, you know, room for activities, kids, families,

46:03you know, little pockets where you could go sit and explore.

46:06It's interesting, though, because you do have a lot of stuff.

46:08You've got the Trends fireplace.

46:10You've got the Dream Court pickleball over the back there.

46:13The beautiful bottle tree there is just extraordinary.

46:16Yeah, it's a rip out.

46:17But I did think when it was on paper, it looked like it was going to be super busy.

46:20You've got the Steam Sauna.

46:22Where's it going?

46:23Inside the Cabana.

46:24Steam Saunas Australia tucking in there.

46:25This beautiful shade cloth.

46:27Yeah, shade spot.

46:28Shade spot.

46:29They have done such an exceptional job.

46:31What are you thinking here?

46:32What's happening here?

46:33So here's going to be where the outdoor lounge is.

46:35So there's a three-seater here and a three-seater there.

46:38Coffee table in the middle here.

46:40Around the fire.

46:41Beautiful.

46:42This is going to be such a great space for a winter's night.

46:45But this will be just as usable in summer when you don't have the fire.

46:48100% because you cook the shell with this.

46:50This hooks on there.

46:51Swing it in and cook.

46:52Amazing.

46:53This has all come together now.

46:55You're standing in your backyard and you're looking pretty close to done.

46:58We should be done by today, I think.

47:00Well, you know, I haven't seen any sculpture.

47:02That is coming tomorrow.

47:04Boys, congratulations on your house and now congratulations on your backyard.

47:08You're going to be finished today.

47:09That's incredible.

47:10That is.

47:11You're going to be finished on Friday.

47:12I don't think that's ever happened.

47:13I expect perfection on Sunday then.

47:16Perfection.

47:17If you're finishing today.

47:18We went with the kiss approach.

47:20Keep it simple, Shayna.

47:22Now for one of my favourite parts of the week.

47:27A hand count.

47:29Lee, have you got a sec?

47:31Yeah.

47:32Come on out.

47:33Lee, you wouldn't be aware of this, mate, but I give away the hardest work reward from Bunnings

47:37each week.

47:38This week, the hardest work reward goes to Lee.

47:42Yeah!

47:43You get to choose five plants from the Bunnings Nursery the size of Shayna.

47:50Well, basically around the top of your head.

47:52Well done.

47:53Thanks, Scotty.

47:54Great job here.

47:55Pleasure.

47:56Fantastic.

47:58All the best.

47:59Thanks, Scotty.

48:00Yay!

48:01You got us plans!

48:02Yay!

48:03Dad took our hardest worker of the week, so we got five plants.

48:08And he's only been here two days.

48:11I'm just checking on Google Lens what these are because I have no idea.

48:17Can is the plant person in our partnership.

48:21But Google Lens tells me this is a Japanese maple, so I'll have that one.

48:25Alright, how many have I got left?

48:27My mouth is not mouthing.

48:29I have done.

48:30Here we go.

48:31I have three days in this insane asylum and I've got no reward.

48:38No one.

48:39Work harder.

48:40Work harder, he says.

48:46Ah!

48:47Ah!

48:48It's kind of cool.

48:49All sit starts to come together now.

49:03How are you feeling about the backyard?

49:04Yeah, like anxious.

49:05We are not ready for the pool.

49:06Everyone's obviously got their pool fences in and the yards are coming together.

49:22I think ours is probably the furthest behind.

49:25Grass angel.

49:28It's not looking good.

49:29We haven't done the exterior perimeter of the tiles so that they can put their holes into it.

49:37Major, major problem.

49:38What's that?

49:39Pool fences aren't coming back tomorrow.

49:41Right.

49:42So we have to core hole today somehow to have any chance of getting water in here.

49:46Right.

49:47We need to get the pool fencing in, but we need these outer tiles down ASAP so before

49:52they go home tonight, the pool fencing guys, they can do the spigots for us.

49:56And then nine and six will probably have to come and put all the pool glass in.

50:01We need to get in a mad frantic rush to get this done today.

50:05Hey, why aren't we tiling?

50:08Tile, tile, tile.

50:09Out here.

50:10So who do you call when you're having a tile problem?

50:13Cursey girls.

50:15Hiya.

50:17We're struggling.

50:18Yeah, I need your help.

50:19Struggling?

50:20What we need is, we need to try and get this outside border in today.

50:24Okay.

50:25And tonight, and that end.

50:26Adrian came to the rescue.

50:28I'm just here giving him a hand for one hour.

50:30That's all I've got.

50:31One hour.

50:32So an hour of power, we're going to try and get this done.

50:34So you can get the glass in for him.

50:37And then everyone will be happy, hopefully.

50:39Mate.

50:40You out.

50:41Let's go.

50:42Come on.

50:43I need someone to clean these joints.

50:44Put the clips here.

50:45Yep.

50:46And we smashed out collectively, like 90% of them.

50:52Oi, Lorraine!

50:54Get .

50:56But then the rain came.

50:59Lorraine's here.

51:00Beautiful.

51:01Lorraine?

51:02Who's Lorraine?

51:03Get her on the tools.

51:04And now it's officially landscaping week.

51:06Seems it never rains in Southern California.

51:13Our pool is getting filled.

51:15Right now.

51:16And I've often heard that kind of stuff before.

51:19Free water!

51:20Free water!

51:21Free water!

51:22Free water!

51:23Free water!

51:24All rains in California!

51:27But I think we've got more important things to worry about right now, right?

51:30Man, I reckon it's drier in the pool than what it is here.

51:33Oh!

51:34Manny pool!

51:36Just a passing shower.

51:37But the big question is, will the tiles dry in time?

51:42It's supposed to dry in four hours, but...

51:45Hey!

51:46Hasn't dried at all.

51:49We gotta get away from here.

51:53We gotta get away from here.

51:56We gotta get away from here.

51:57The pool fencing guy's standing around scratching his head going, they're not bad

52:01be ready.

52:02Huh?

52:03He's saying it's not dry.

52:10Do you know what, guys?

52:11About two hours ago, it wasn't going to happen.

52:15He's worked so hard ringing everyone around.

52:18I've got someone coming here at 12 o'clock tomorrow.

52:20He's got someone coming at midday tomorrow now.

52:22Thanks, man. That's awesome.

52:25Yeah, we're stoked because we just thought

52:28we weren't going to get a pool fence.

52:31Yeah, hopefully we can get it together for midday tomorrow

52:35and, yeah, get some water in the pool.

52:38So, yeah, we were grateful for that

52:40because we thought that we weren't going to have a fence.

52:43Beautiful.

52:44OK, we can all breathe?

52:45Yeah.

52:46For a minute?

52:47Yeah.

52:48And then tackle the next hurdle.

52:50Meanwhile, big news for the boys in House Five.

52:53I've been touching base with Tom Panos over the last 11 weeks.

52:57Obviously, I want him to be our auctioneer.

53:00Tom Panos has successfully earned three previous block clients

53:04millions of dollars in cash.

53:06And two of those teams went on to win the block.

53:09The new winner of the block...

53:111.65 million profit.

53:14Hello, Rob.

53:18I had a good phone call just then.

53:20Yes?

53:21Spoke to the Tom Panos.

53:23And...?

53:25Yeah, we're locked in, mate.

53:27Mate, this is a game-changer.

53:30Oh, it's huge.

53:31He's the auctioneer's auctioneer.

53:33I am so, so, so happy that he's going to be selling our house on auction day.

53:38I love you so much, mate.

53:40You are incredible.

53:41Thank you for organising that.

53:43Amazing, mate.

53:44Well, happy shopping.

53:46Yes.

53:47We got the icing on the cake this week and locked in Tom Panos to be our auctioneer on auction day.

53:53Which is the cherry on top for Matt and I.

53:55Go on, stop it.

53:56Bye.

53:57We can no longer see the house falls back out.

54:10They're good, Sam.

54:12Look out.

54:13How are we going?

54:15In house one, their pool fence is in the house.

54:18It's in the house.

54:20It's in the house.

54:21It's in the house.

54:22It's in the house.

54:23In house one, their pool fence is a go.

54:29Let's get some water in, eh?

54:30Yeah.

54:31Let's fill her up.

54:35But their landscaper Colin is back and he's reassessed their retaining wall.

54:40We've got the retaining wall in and Colin said to me,

54:43I really want to get rid of this retaining wall.

54:47And I was like, I think we've got to keep it.

54:50I just, with all the work that went into it.

54:53Are you serious?

54:54Like we've just spent four days putting this in.

54:57And he was deadly serious.

54:59Yeah.

55:00I know there's a lot of work, but it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

55:04It's like we've got suburbia in the middle of Daylesford now.

55:07It's such a beautiful, soft landscape.

55:09But to have that clunkily revolting retaining wall there is really not the go.

55:13It's just what are we going to do with this retaining wall?

55:16Sunday night.

55:17Step right up, step right up.

55:18The greatest show on earth.

55:19The backyard reveal looming.

55:20Do you reckon we're going to get it done?

55:21Define done.

55:22The pressure to finish is off the charts.

55:23A lot to do.

55:24A lot to do?

55:25Yeah.

55:26Go next door.

55:27That's a lot to do.

55:28And when it's judgement time.

55:29Look at this man.

55:30Look at this man.

55:31Oh!

55:32Look at this man'sí.

55:33Oh, no.

55:34That's a lot to do?

55:36That's a lot to do.

55:37That's a lot.

55:38And when it's judgement time.

55:40Oh!

55:41Look at this man.
