TVTranscript
00:00Previously, our 20th season kicked off on Phillip Island, where our blockheads will
00:14be renovating an old holiday retreat into five luxury homes.
00:20Our five teams arrived, engaged couple from WA, Jessie and Paige, newlyweds, Chris, Jessie
00:29and Mimi from South Australia, Ricky and his best mate and expectant dad, Hayden, from
00:38Victoria, married couple Courtney and Grant from NSW, and married parents Carly and Brad
00:53from Queensland.
00:54This is it, like, we're actually doing this.
00:58To determine their houses for the next 12 weeks, they picked penguins.
01:02I gave them 250 grand for the reno and got straight down to business with this week's
01:10room.
01:11They're trying to kill us.
01:12Where are we going to sleep for next week?
01:24I'm going to throw up.
01:27Tonight, the rookies are blindsided by the bills.
01:30Oh dear.
01:31We are a day behind.
01:33I just feel like I'm failing.
01:36Sophie did some early labour.
01:39I'm going to be an uncle.
01:41I'm going to be an uncle, Scotty.
01:44The stakes have never been higher.
01:48It just became a $140,000 week.
01:53If you win week one, you are pretty much set to win the block.
01:58And Paige puts her foot down.
02:00Don't get me wrong, I definitely felt dramatic.
02:03I felt the drama.
02:05I was the drama.
02:06I actually can't accept it.
02:08I cannot accept it.
02:09You need to find some sort of compromise for me.
02:12I've been nothing but accommodating for you.
02:14I'm not doing anything wrong and they're talking to me like assholes.
02:39As the blockheads wake to a new day,
02:41house twos Courtney and Grant are still adjusting to their new dicks.
02:45Hey.
02:47How are you feeling?
02:49I feel a little bit haggard today.
02:51Yeah, camping is getting to me.
02:55We started as happy campers, now we're sad campers
02:57and we really want to build a room so we can get out of our camping phase.
03:01The air bed needs a good pump as well.
03:03We're slowly laying on the ground.
03:06But the good thing is we're not really sleeping that much.
03:08So we're getting an hour a night max.
03:11So it doesn't really make a difference.
03:13Yep, there's not much time for sleep
03:15because I've well and truly chucked them in the deep end for week one.
03:19In just five days, they'll need to deliver their first bathroom to the judges.
03:24And the way the rooms are looking at the moment,
03:26they've all got a lot of work to do.
03:29We've got a big day today in the house.
03:33Yeah, we've got insulation to get in the floor,
03:36we've got flooring to get down, we've got sheeting to go up
03:39and then we've got waterproof Wednesday.
03:41Yeah, so it's going to be a big day.
03:48Bathrooms can be the smallest rooms in the house
03:50but the most complicated to construct.
03:53At least five inspections are required.
03:57First, teams need to build the floor framing
03:59and get the subfloor inspected.
04:03Then they build the walls and the plumbing and electrical is roughed in.
04:08Next, the insulation is installed.
04:11Then they'll sheet the walls and ceiling.
04:14After that, they can waterproof, which also needs to be ticked off.
04:19So Waterproof Wednesday is a good milestone to hit on the block
04:23as it leaves you with just over three days to complete all your tiling,
04:27install the fixtures and fittings and style your room.
04:31Annually wed couple Christian and Mimi in House 5
04:34will be pushing hard to get it all done today.
04:37Hello, good morning.
04:39We know that Waterproof Wednesdays is a huge thing
04:42and if you're able to make Waterproof Wednesdays,
04:45it sets you up for success for the rest of the week.
04:48The thing is, this wasn't like,
04:51OK, let's make Waterproof Wednesday to get ahead.
04:53No, this was, let's make Waterproof Wednesday to just finish.
04:59House 5 is the only two-storey house on the block
05:02and because this week's bathroom sits directly below an upstairs bathroom,
05:06they've had to plan both at the same time
05:09to make sure all the plumbing and electrical is in the right spot.
05:13They've also got the biggest room to deliver this week
05:16at over 10 square metres.
05:18It's roughly double the size of everyone else's.
05:21So the pressure is on.
05:24Their bathroom will feature a large wet area with a shower and bath.
05:28They'll have a double vanity along a tile feature wall,
05:32a porter timber accent on the ceiling
05:35and will style with a contemporary coastal theme.
05:38And even though they've got the biggest space,
05:41they're the first ones to get their framing inspected.
05:44Probably 20 more minutes, maybe, just get your angles in.
05:47It's on the blocking. Yeah, we're on our way.
05:50Yeah, on our way.
05:51So our builder, Daniel, he's told us,
05:54call your plasterers to come in at 10.30
05:58because we'll be done with the subfloor.
06:01They can plaster and they said they'll take about 3-4 hours.
06:04So as soon as they're done, the waterproofer comes
06:07and I think we're going to make waterproof Wednesday late afternoon.
06:12Fingers crossed.
06:14Neat. Beautiful. Neat.
06:16That's what we like to hear. Neat.
06:18That's what we like to hear. Neat.
06:22While House 5 are tracking well,
06:24over in House 4, Queensland couple Carly and Brad are way behind.
06:31We still don't have a structure up.
06:33We don't have walls.
06:35We have two bits of timber.
06:37Two bits of timber and not walls or floor.
06:40We are miles behind them. Yeah.
06:43Hairdresser Carly and electrician and plumber Brad
06:46have so far struggled to lock in a layout for their bathroom.
06:50I have been trying to make this work every step of the way
06:55and then something changes and then the whole thing shifts.
07:01So we've come into Wednesday
07:04after Tuesday being just what it was with all the changes
07:10and now I've got to make another change.
07:13Why are you not smiling, Dan? What's happening?
07:15Just heard you've changed the whole layout.
07:17What's not the whole layout? It's just the toilet.
07:19Where's the bath going?
07:21It's not going.
07:23House 4's room will no longer feature a bath.
07:26Instead, they'll have a large open shower.
07:28They'll also include a big vanity with heaps of storage
07:32and will style the space with a black toilet,
07:34black tiles and even black grout.
07:38The theme that I'm going for... Yeah.
07:40..is dark, textural, modern, predominantly black.
07:45Why's that?
07:46Not many people do it.
07:48And, like, I'm a bit quirky and a bit weird,
07:50so I feel like there's definitely a demographic for it.
07:53I literally cannot be the only person that is like this.
07:57And, you know, doing a property on Phillip Island,
07:59like, most people are just going to get a coastal brief
08:01and kind of go with it.
08:03And I thought, well, why not look for a market
08:05that's chasing something a little bit different
08:07and it's going to stand out.
08:09They'll certainly stand out if they don't finish the room this week,
08:12so they'll need to hit the ground running today.
08:15I can't afford for there to be anything that we put in
08:18and then you go, I want to change that.
08:20Well, there's a plan now, isn't there?
08:22Yeah, I want to make sure.
08:24The plan's the plan.
08:28While House 4 try and stick to their new plan,
08:31next door in House 3,
08:32best mates Ricky and Hayden are gearing up for a busy day.
08:36It's going to be a warm one again.
08:38Waterproof Wednesdays!
08:41The plan was to be waterproofing by Wednesday night.
08:45Yep.
08:46So I've got to have inspection done,
08:50sheeting done for my waterproofing to even start.
08:54So just got a very strict timeline that's got to go all to plan
08:58to make waterproof Wednesday actually happen.
09:01But we're on the block. It's like Never Neverland.
09:04You know, this is where miracles happen,
09:06so we'll just make it work.
09:08Unlike House 4's little back bathroom,
09:10Ricky and Hayden are embracing a coastal theme.
09:13They'll include an enclosed shower and toilet on one side,
09:16a large oak vanity on the other,
09:18and the hero of the space will be their $12,000 fluted bath.
09:23And plumber Ricky has been keeping the build on track.
09:26We had to get inspection for our flooring first thing in the morning.
09:29How are you, mate?
09:30Good day. Yourself, mate?
09:31Oh, gee, no, I just had a look over it all.
09:33It's pretty good, isn't it? Yeah.
09:35Yep, really good. Happy? Yeah.
09:37So we're good to put some floor down?
09:39Um, yeah, I think so.
09:41Oh, good. Legend, mate. Good on you.
09:43First bathroom. Let's do it.
09:45Thanks, lads. Keep it going.
09:46Cheers. See ya.
09:48Where are they? Get in here, boys.
09:50Let's go.
09:52Getting to waterproofing Wednesday is going to be tight,
09:55but we think we can do it.
09:57Let's go. Let's do it.
09:58House 3, baby.
10:01Over in House 1, engaged couple Jessie and Paige
10:05aren't happy with their progress so far.
10:10We finished Tuesday with subfloor still incomplete.
10:15Um, walls weren't up and it was deflating.
10:19It was really deflating.
10:21Chippy Jessie came into the block filled with confidence.
10:24I want to be the first ones finished each week
10:26and walk around to people's houses and be like,
10:29do you guys want a hand finished over there? Done.
10:32Woo-hoo!
10:35But over the past two days,
10:37he's learned that even for an experienced Chippy,
10:40completing a bathroom in week one of the block
10:43is a massive challenge.
10:45I've noticed everyone has the insulation but me.
10:49It's ten o'clock, we're losing... He told me eight o'clock.
10:52We've just lost three hours not having the timber here.
10:54We're missing our sheets for our flooring.
10:57Just stop. Just stop.
11:00Stop!
11:02The pressure of Monday and Tuesday
11:04when everything went wrong really exploded in my head Wednesday
11:07and I think the thought of failing was really creeping into my mind.
11:17So what's the timeline right now?
11:20So timeline is... Where are we at?
11:23Subfloor still. Yep.
11:25How long is that going to take you think?
11:27I don't know. The boys are working hard to get that done.
11:31But it's not, like, a massive space.
11:35At just over five square metres,
11:37House One's bathroom is the smallest on the block this week.
11:42They're planning a coastal-inspired design
11:45which will feature a closed-in shower opposite a bathroom vanity.
11:49And the hero of the space will be their green marble feature tiles
11:53which will run floor to ceiling.
11:55But there's a huge amount of work ahead of them
11:58if they're going to pull it off for Sunday's reveal.
12:01Yeah, so I was coming to the realisation
12:04that Waterproof Wednesday probably wasn't going to happen.
12:07And I think you also started to spiral a bit as well,
12:10which made the weight of everything happening so much more intense.
12:14Yeah.
12:24Do you need to re-evaluate if you want to be here?
12:28I think I've always been someone that holds emotions in,
12:32because I had to, because I had to support people around me.
12:36So I've always been someone that would hold it in
12:39until it came exploding out.
12:41And I think that's what happened Wednesday.
12:49Hello? Hey, Mum, it's Jesse.
12:52It just all came, like, crashing down.
12:55Yeah.
12:56So I went to go speak to Mum on the phone in the tent
12:59and, yeah, it kind of just all crumbled.
13:01I just feel like I'm not on top of anything right now.
13:04I feel like it's just all, like, clouding my judgement
13:07and everything, it's just, like, creating a big ash around me.
13:12Just breathe, get out of it.
13:15You're doing a good job.
13:17Like, you don't actually understand how much of a rollercoaster it is.
13:21I'm loving it, you know?
13:23But I hate it at the same time, and it's such a weird emotion,
13:26because, like, it's, like, I'm walking around,
13:29I'm so, like, stressed and, like, miserable,
13:31but I'm also, like, loving it, and it's, like...
13:34Yeah, I do understand, mate. I do understand.
13:38It's just, like, I don't know how to get out of this, like, hole that I'm in.
13:42Bathrooms are the hardest, Jesse.
13:45Everybody says that on the block.
13:47Just get through this week.
13:49At the moment, I just don't even see how we're going to get anywhere.
13:52I don't see how we're going to get any finishings on.
13:54There's still three days, mate.
13:56It's amazing what you can do in three days.
13:58I already just had got stuck in my head that we weren't going to finish,
14:02so I felt massive failure, and, like, knowing that everyone I know back home
14:06is going to see first week of the block,
14:08and Jesse, who does this for a job, fails.
14:12It's day three of the first week on the block,
14:14and the pressure of delivering their main bathroom by Sunday
14:17has become overwhelming for house one's Jesse.
14:20I already just had got stuck in my head that we weren't going to finish.
14:27Yeah, I'm right.
14:29First week of the block, and Jesse, who does this for a job,
14:33fails.
14:35It's day three of the first week on the block,
14:37and the pressure of delivering their main bathroom by Sunday
14:40Jesse, who does this for a job, fails.
14:46Why are you crying?
14:47Because I get upset when you're upset.
14:49Whenever you cry, I cry.
14:52The block is stressful.
14:54You feel that. You feel it really hard, really fast.
14:57It's like a punch in the face.
14:59But I think you just kept on digging that hole for yourself in it as well.
15:04I didn't believe that I could get out of it because I was just so far gone.
15:08I just feel like I'm failing.
15:10Honey.
15:13You're not failing.
15:15Yeah.
15:18Why do I cry? It's so weak.
15:22Honey, look at me.
15:24I don't want you to say things like it's weak
15:26because it's so important for other men to know
15:30that people are allowed to cry and they're allowed to have feelings, okay?
15:34And you're such a wonderful person, and you're just being hard on yourself.
15:40I know it's three days in, and I get that,
15:43but I can't get out of my head that it's like
15:45we're going to present like a room with nothing in it.
15:48But do you know what?
15:49And this is what I keep on saying throughout the day.
15:51You just have to keep going.
15:54You don't need to start thinking about Sunday yet.
15:56Yeah.
15:57You need to think about your next five minutes,
15:59and then you need to think about the next five minutes after that.
16:02Yeah.
16:03And I think you are doing an amazing job,
16:07and you're doing a better job than you even think you're doing.
16:11I felt really down and probably, like, legit,
16:14probably the worst I've ever felt in my life.
16:16But once I kind of exploded and got all those emotions out,
16:19I felt better.
16:21I felt like I could be myself again.
16:24Just pick yourself up for right now.
16:27Yeah.
16:28And then just work on every minute.
16:31That's it.
16:40Putting the nail bag on and kind of helping out the guys,
16:43it gave me a sense of, like, freedom
16:46and accomplishment of, like, doing something that I love to do
16:49and something that I feel good at.
16:53So it gave me, like, a purpose for the rest of the day,
16:56which is really nice.
16:58All right, we'll roll that.
17:00Go team, go.
17:01Good work, boys.
17:02We had Scotty come around for a nice...
17:04Little pep talk.
17:05...pep talk.
17:06Don't let it get, you know, get you down too much.
17:08Yeah.
17:09Because number one, the block is bloody hard, right?
17:12Yeah.
17:13And you're out of your comfort zone.
17:14You've obviously been building all your adult life,
17:17but this is not the norm.
17:19This is something else.
17:20It's something else.
17:21Yeah.
17:22It's another level, right?
17:23Yeah.
17:24So you're not going to be the first person that falls behind
17:26on week one on bathroom week.
17:27Yeah.
17:28It's all about planning.
17:29Yeah.
17:30And then put your head down and get your nail gun out
17:33and start firing.
17:34Yeah, and I already, like, feel so much better
17:36just having the nail bag on.
17:37Yeah.
17:38Yeah.
17:39There is just so much support around the block,
17:43and you really feel it in those moments.
17:45Yeah.
17:46You know what you're doing.
17:47Yeah.
17:48You're going to be fine,
17:49and I see that you've got great potential.
17:51I see that too.
17:52I know.
17:53I see it.
17:54Yeah, see, from your missus and me, mate, we love you.
17:56That's all I need.
17:57We love you.
17:58I just need my missus and Scotty.
17:59Exactly.
18:00That's it.
18:01We love you.
18:02See you, honey.
18:03I love you.
18:04Over at house three, the floor is going down.
18:08So far, plumber Ricky and IT manager Hayden
18:11are embracing the block chaos.
18:14You're a long way from the keyboard now, mate.
18:16That's why I sent these keyboard hands, mate.
18:19Putting to good use.
18:20Yeah, I was in the middle of organising the plasterer.
18:24Cool.
18:25All right.
18:26Yep, good to go.
18:27And then my phone rang, and it was the wife, Chelsea.
18:30Oh, the wife, perfect.
18:33Hi, bubs.
18:34Hi, bubs.
18:35How are you?
18:36I'm good.
18:37I just have to go to the hospital for some monitoring.
18:40Sophie thinks I'm in early labour.
18:44Right-o.
18:46My head was absolutely spinning when I got that call
18:48because I had a million things running through my head
18:50about what we're trying to do, and I'm on the block,
18:52and I'm at Phillip Island.
18:53I'm a million miles away.
18:54Well, not a million miles away, but a good couple,
18:56two, three hours, and she's sitting in the hospital.
19:00Odin and his wife, Chelsea,
19:02have been trying to get pregnant for almost 10 years with IVF.
19:06Last year, we decided to give it one more round,
19:09put the last embryo that we had in,
19:11and we'd given up.
19:15Ricky had his birthday, and...
19:17Huge party.
19:18Huge party. It was a good party.
19:19Good party.
19:20And then I think it was probably six weeks later,
19:23bang, pregnant.
19:26Wow.
19:27All right.
19:28That's a bit sooner than we thought.
19:31Yeah, a little bit.
19:32Well, I was waterproof on Wednesday,
19:34and now it's water breaking Wednesday.
19:36It's all happening.
19:44Scotty rocked up.
19:45Scotty rocked up in the big Ford F-150 and said...
19:49I'm going to be an uncle.
19:51Uncle Scotty.
19:54Let's get you to the chopper.
19:55Please, brother. I need to get there.
19:57So I had to leave Ricky on site.
19:58Mate.
19:59All right. Love you, brother.
20:01Appreciate it, man.
20:03Let's go, mate.
20:04All right, let's go, brother.
20:05Fly safely, Scotty.
20:07Good luck, Adam.
20:08Cheers.
20:09Good luck, mate.
20:10Actually, good luck.
20:11Good luck for you too.
20:12Is it actually happening?
20:14He's going to the hospital.
20:15Go, go, go.
20:17See you guys. I'll be back.
20:20We're having a baby.
20:22Hey, Frankie.
20:23So Scotty took me to a helipad,
20:27and he's flying me direct back to Melbourne
20:30to get to Chelsea ASAP.
20:32All right, get in there.
20:33See you later, champion.
20:34Take it easy.
20:35Thanks, Scotty.
20:36Appreciate it, mate.
20:37Get going.
20:38All right, I'm off.
20:39I'm out.
20:40I've got to go have a baby.
20:43Cheers, mate.
20:44You got this, man.
20:45You got this.
20:46Breathe, brother.
20:47You got it.
20:48Breathe, man.
20:52Let's rock and roll, Jonathan.
20:54Woo!
20:55Party on.
21:00Yes!
21:01Woo!
21:04He's gone.
21:09I can barely even breathe on the block.
21:11I can't even organise one thing before I lose my team mate.
21:14All right, let's go have a baby.
21:15Come on, let's go.
21:16All right.
21:17I'm pumped.
21:18That's a pretty wild thing to happen on waterproof Wednesday.
21:23After the break, competition heats up.
21:27Woo!
21:28What?
21:29It just became a $140,000 win.
21:34I feel sick.
21:35If you win week one, you are pretty much set to win the block.
21:40And later...
21:41You need to find some sort of compromise for me.
21:43I've got to go.
21:44I've got to go.
21:45I've got to go.
21:46I've got to go.
21:47Find some sort of compromise for me.
21:48I've been nothing but accommodating for you.
21:50Paige is on the wall path.
21:53I can't.
21:54I actually can't accept it.
21:55I cannot accept it.
21:56There's no compromise.
22:16It's less than five days until the Blockettes' first bathroom reveal.
22:19And in house four, plumber and sparky Brad and hairdresser Kylie
22:23are feeling the pressure.
22:26Waterproofing Wednesday and we're nowhere near close to that. So we are a day behind
22:33Yeah, Brad feels like there's a lot of pressure on him because he is a dual tradie
22:38So literally a bathroom is plumbing and electrical so everyone would have been like, oh, they're the threat but we'd really drop the ball
22:49About on that one. Yeah, I'm 100%
22:52Hello
22:54We got a visit from Scotty he definitely had some things to say the hard truth hard truth
23:01How you going? You tell us how we're going. Come on
23:06We'd like to be a lot further ahead it definitely Monday was a disaster. Yeah, I guess it comes down to planning
23:12It was the planning. Yeah. Yeah, so that is the problem now. I'm concerned for you guys
23:17I do not want you to not finish on the first week
23:21You've got a guy
23:24You guys have got to go a thousand miles an hour. You've got to go to your drop
23:29Yeah, and then wake up tomorrow morning and do it again. Yeah, that's literally the block. Yeah
23:35So I'm patting on the back right because I know it's week one, but you just need to lift
23:40Do more. Yeah, like a small. Yeah, so that kind of gave us a bit of a
23:45Yeah, we're already we already knew we had a lot to do yeah, we've just haven't had a chance to really crack into it
23:54Married couple Courtney and Grant have a clear vision for the design of their bathroom this week
24:01Mediterranean Mediterranean, yeah
24:03Modern Mediterranean, you know some curves organic shapes natural materials natural materials
24:10How's to monitor rainy and bathroom will feature statement travertine finger tiles on the left
24:17I'll have an enclosed shower and toilet and the hero of the space will be the curved wall between their bath and vanity
24:26But when Foreman Dan and site manager GMAC stopped by to inspect the framing for the curve
24:31There's an issue and it's gonna be under tension and then it has no support in the bottom of the bathroom
24:38Has no support in the bottom. Someone keeps it. It breaks what Jay's saying is he wants solid blocking right to the edge
24:44Yeah, yeah
24:44So but as soon as you start turning
24:47To get the wall approved house to need to add more blocks of timber to the true core
24:52Framing on either side of the curve to create a solid backing for the plasterboard to sit on
25:00This buddy curve mate
25:04That's the first hiccup it's done
25:07So, yeah, we're behind where I wanted to be it'll probably waterproof Thursday afternoon. Yeah
25:13over house five
25:15Sparky Christian and restaurant manager Mimi are ahead of the game. I feel great
25:21House five has good vibes. I'm competitive. So it does feel good to be in front of the pack. We really tried to push
25:29To get waterproof Wednesday. So for us to do that we had our chippies
25:34doing this floor
25:35Constantly getting Dan. Hey check. Is this right?
25:40Yeah, that's right, that's perfect probably the best floor we've seen to be honest right on mate at this stage
25:46We're trying to get the plaster is to finish
25:50plastering all of our walls before tools down
25:53Which was insane the plasters were in
25:56Our chippies were in they were all helping each other. It was chaos in there and you know, we went for that final check
26:04What's going on here and there was something wrong with the plaster, right? It wasn't like screwed down. I'm like, oh, no
26:11quickly fix that
26:16Okay, I mean Christians just inside like this is gonna happen this is gonna happen
26:25Yeah, nice everything's good for waterproofing
26:28Thank you. You'll be the only one waterproof
26:34Wednesday which it's a massive achievement with this massive bathroom
26:44House five the only team to make waterproof Wednesday
26:47I've decided now would be a good time to dangle an enormous carrot in the hopes of sparing on a little healthy

30:14As much as I tried my hardest to make waterproof and happen on Wednesday
30:18It just didn't happen
30:20But what I'm learning on the block is that I've got to be able to adapt and it's not always gonna go to plan
30:30Ricky certainly wasn't planning on teammate Hayden's wife Chelsea going into labor yesterday
30:36Leaving him alone on the block and with double the workload. I was insulating
30:41I was working by myself trying to get ahead and H call me and
30:46He had news that his baby girl was born

33:11I actually feel like losing this week
33:13You know, I mean and with their bathroom currently the furthest along
33:18Christian and Mimi are definitely in with a good chance this week. The only team that waterproofed Wednesday has passed
33:25The only thing that did it wow
33:31Overhouse for and after a very slow start to the week
33:35Kali and Brad have lifted their game and their bathroom is now in much better shape
33:41We finally got our sign off on our subframe the flooring's gone on the walls are up
33:50Beautiful. Oh good. Let's shade it
33:53Let's say that come on, let's go
33:56So we're looking
33:58Now to start blastering the walls so we can start waterproofing
34:02waterproofing by two ish
34:04Five one thirty one thirty box biggest comeback this room
34:08Yeah, we've caught up. We may not even have to do anything Sunday Saturday night. We'll just be like I love your optimism
34:16In house one after a rocky day yesterday
34:19Jessie and Paige have also turned a corner and are feeling much more confident
34:24I woke up and I said today's gonna be a better day
34:28Today is gonna be the day that I like
34:30Do everything I can to step up and try and help his team get over the line
34:34And I'm just hungry to deliver a beautiful room each and every week and win. I just want to win
34:40That's why I'm here to win
34:42Good this is the best day ever. This is so good. The boys are gone. Let's go
34:48Are you here to win page
34:50I'm always out to win always
34:54That's just beating him across the road. I
34:57Try to win. I do
35:00But we're failing
35:03With their Chinese going full steam ahead in their bathroom this morning page is feeling so confident that she's decided to make some
35:11changes to the floor plan of their house
35:15Yeah, I
35:18Wanted to speak to Dan first thing because Jessie and I were up planning all night
35:23I had some really good ideas in
35:26Regards to shaking up a few of the bedrooms moving the master around
35:31House ones main bedroom is currently located on the ground floor. I want to split it in half to make two guest bedrooms
35:39Then in the mezzanine
35:41Located on the other side of the house and upstairs. They'll turn the guest bedroom and rumpus into their main suite
35:48So you're not deleting your bedroom. You just shifting everything around. Yeah, if you can just draw
35:53The top as well. I'll get photos of both and then send it straight off to the architect
35:58I think we've come up with a really really good floor plan and I am so hopeful because I'm so passionate about these changes
36:09I will be your best friend. I'll get you coffee every morning. Yeah. Thank you
36:15It's not up to me, but I'll just on the middle person. Okay. Yeah, I shouldn't actually get my hopes up too much
36:21But I'm gonna be positive. I'm going to ask the universe to let me change my floor plans
36:29Everyone I'm actually changing them. That's how I'm gonna speak. I'm just waiting for approval because they're gonna be changed
36:38Coming up the universe turns against page. Can you imagine selling this house? I
36:45Know I respect him obviously because he's a great accomplished architect
36:52But I actually don't give a about his opinion because it's so different to mine
37:08With only four days until reveal the blockheads are working hard in their main bathrooms
37:16And in house three with teammate Hayden still offside for the newborn baby Ricky is forging ahead solo
37:24Yeah, that's good now
37:26So your plasterers will be in next now you'll be waterproofing after midday one o'clock, Oregon
37:32I really want to make sure that do Hayden proud and prove that I do have what it takes to get this bathroom
37:38Go over the line, but he's definitely left me for dead
37:42Definitely could have maybe talked to the missus to maybe put the baby off for one more week. So I would have liked to
37:48Maybe not tackle this alone first week
37:52But look, it's his family. It's his life and it's my block. So here's what it is
38:02When you're building a house in just 12 weeks, you need to start making big decisions from week one
38:08So today our teams have met with Kingsman to finalize the design for the wardrobes in all their upcoming
38:14Bedrooms as they need to go into production tomorrow
38:18Morgan and the whole Kingsman team that was super helpful. I think I might have a really good door for you
38:25It is brand-new. Oh my god. It's new. Yeah, lock it in. I'm a quick decider. So it was like yes. Yes. Yes. Yes
38:31Yes, it is a really nice sweet
38:33Oh easy to clean and makes you feel like that this texture in the room and we have this border as the
38:39wall that we're going to build
38:42It makes you feel like that this texture in the room and we have this border as well
38:47Yeah, it was a good appointment. They had all their samples there. Boom. Boom. Boom and
38:52The internal oak as well. I think so. Yeah, I want to continue the American oak
38:57And then we also brought in like a ivory leather. I think that's really nice
39:02It'll look beautiful as long as there's just one row of shelving just perfectly designed for Jordan
39:10Um
39:12Yeah, you've got this nice new one that we've got as well. It's nice and thin had all these amazing
39:19Accessories they have this really cool
39:22Toronto slash marble black and white
39:25Handle and I was like done like throw that in sorted perfect that handle easy
39:29How beautiful do you think your wardrobes are gonna look they're gonna look amazing
39:34Absolutely. Of course. I are I selected them
39:40Hi
39:41I'm Morgan. I'm paying over to meet you. It's so nice to meet you. I'm so excited
39:46so I went into the kinsmen consult and
39:51We
39:53Had a loose idea that the floor plans were going to be changed just less than an hour ago
39:59Jessie and Paige approached Foreman Dan with the idea to change their floor plans
40:03So they don't currently have the final measurements for their proposed plan
40:07Which is going to make it hard to complete their consult with Kingsman. And so I was explaining that to kinsmen
40:13it was a
40:15It was an icy response. The floor plan is
40:20currently in works of changing
40:22Yeah, and you are knowing that we're putting this into manufacturing. So if those measurements are wrong, it's not gonna fit
40:29Yes, it will not I fully 100% understand that
40:33House one's plan is to relocate their main bedroom to the mezzanine level on the other side of the house
40:39Where a guest bedroom and rumpus is currently planned and they'll split the current main bedroom in half to create two smaller bedrooms
40:48How badly do you want to get these floor plan changes over the line?
40:52So badly like it's actually just if we don't
40:57It's just it doesn't make sense the way that it's being constructed there were so many better options of a floor plan
41:08This is awkward because who should be stopping by McCafe, but the man responsible for the floor plan
41:15International award-winning architect Julian Brinchley. Hi. How you going? I couldn't help overhearing a little design change
41:23Yes
41:24And did and did you speak to Julian Brinchley? Did he talk to you? We did. Yeah, what do you say?
41:30What's on what's the plan? This is what the plan is. We would love to put
41:34Master upstairs. Oh, okay. So, um, have you guys got kids? No, okay, so I'm
41:41Planning to have kids at anyone. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So how far do you think parents would want to sleep?
41:48Honestly, it's always 50-50 when you think of a two-story house you ask one person and they go
41:53I would love to have a master upstairs and then you ask maybe predominantly dads and they're like no
41:57I like to be downstairs protect the household
41:59Maybe it's different over in Victoria, but people in WWE don't want to be near their kids
42:06They do but do they
42:09There's a number of reasons, but I mean though I wouldn't do it and a number of reasons why we drew it
42:14Being upstairs downstairs is one thing but being completely old the other side of the house is one thing
42:20so it's quite a big distance like in a house of this size you try and have a
42:24Family if you like close together and then your guests would be separate
42:28So that I wouldn't be part of the sort of private space of a house
42:33There's just complete opposites opposite. He told me that he loves
42:38Be close to his family can't relate
42:41Hey, pretty much he pretty much said he completely disagreed with our idea. Yeah, you're adamant
42:46I I'm 100% adamant, but I really like I'm the other way around. Okay, that's fine
42:51You know, so I think but you know, but um, good luck with it. Yeah. Thank you. I think you're
42:56Probably not on the right track
42:58No stress. Okay, cool. Thank you for the good luck with it. Okay. Thank you. Cheers
43:04So what does that leave us with plans in same?
43:07Are you still going with the changes? Yes
43:11I'm just because I was anticipating someone to try and change my mind
43:15And I just honestly I just have different opinions
43:18All right, can we can we I've got a go so can we like try and figure like where do you think I'm doing the road?
43:23Well
43:25It's just gonna go here and here's the door
43:27While Paige remains steadfast in her decision Morgan from Kingsman begins working out the measurements for the two-bedroom
43:34That will be created downstairs in place of the main bedroom
43:38Something Paige hadn't done yet. Take the measurements of a stud wall out of it. You go about 2.6 a
43:45Queen bed is about 1600. Yeah, so there's 500 mil
43:50Which is that each side of that bed if you put it on that and that's not enough to open
43:55those doors
43:57Everything just got a flow on effect. You've got to make sure that there's enough room for beds and tables
44:02This is what we did last night, I'm just
44:05What we didn't do is have proper sizes, but I don't want to make this decision
44:09Then our bedrooms are really small. Do you know what I mean?
44:11But I am NOT going to be hard-balled
44:14So we just stay up for four hours going through plans and then throw it out the window because someone else has an opinion
44:19No, I'm not. I'm not doing because of someone else
44:22I'm just trying to think like methodically because this can impact us. I
44:27Love your idea. I really love it
44:29And I agree with you and I would love to do what you're going to do my only thought which I think will affect us is
44:36We're gonna regret how small these rooms are
44:42Jesse is concerned that if they split the current main bedroom in two
44:46Once wardrobes are in and with two windows in each room. There's not much space left for furniture
44:52So house ones wardrobe consult. Is that a step in the right direction?
44:56So house ones wardrobe consult. Is that a standstill?
45:00There was a lot of pressure
45:02There was a lot of faces behind the camera. It was eye rolls. It was huffing and puffing
45:08I'm, just sick of the way everyone talks to me in meetings like this
45:12and it was just the energy was
45:14Super off mate you make the call because i'm sick of being in these appointments
45:20We're not content with this can you just say to it please no we're switching you can't okay
45:27I
45:31Don't know what to do here
45:33I definitely felt dramatic
45:36I felt the drama. I was the drama. I was
45:41That's how I felt it I stormed off week one
45:47Can you give us 10 minutes, please? Yeah. Yeah. Thank you
45:52I love your plans, but I just don't think it's gonna work
45:55It's that way this is actually that we can't do what we want to do
46:01But you're gonna have to like really I can't I actually can't I cannot accept it
46:08You need to find some sort of compromise for me i've been nothing but accommodating for you
46:12I get find it for me. I mean nothing but accommodating for you
46:16I'm, not doing anything wrong and they're talking to me like assholes. I know that I don't know why people have to be rude
46:24So
46:37It's day four of the block while our teams are renovating an island resort and quickly learning that this is no vacation
46:47With six o'clock tools down approaching foreman dan has just noticed a big issue in court in grant's bathroom
46:55Oh dear
46:57uh, basically we were on track to have uh, all the sheeting and
47:03plastering approved and ready for waterproofing, but there was a issue regarding the installation of our
47:10Shower screen channel. So that one that one threw a spanner in the works
47:14What's up, sir? I've joined in all the way these channels installed. Yeah. So this is your shower. Yep
47:20And that's the rest of the world
47:24Yeah
47:26House two's builders installed the shower screen channel before the villa board sheets went up
47:31So it's currently sitting between two sheets small gaps on either side
47:36Instead they should have put the villa board up first and then installed the channel on top of it to make sure it's watertight
47:43That has to be all retaken off and redone
47:47And then you're gonna have to resheet it so it's solid behind and then this goes over the top of the villa board
47:54so
47:56House two now need to rip the majority of the villa board off their walls
48:00And then put it back up with the shower channel in the correct position
48:05And with it already close to tools down on thursday afternoon
48:08They need to do it quickly if they want any hope of waterproofing tonight
48:13We're going to be further behind
48:16It is frustrating. It's frustrating. Definitely
48:18So, uh, we feel like every time we've had a bit of momentum we've had a had a bit of a step back
48:27But that's the block right so we've got to just work with what we've got with the time frames we got
48:33I can't even get any more people in there. It's too tight
48:35Right now like wow, it's friday tomorrow and the bathroom doesn't look like a bathroom
48:41That makes me nervous
48:43Because yeah, there's just a lot to do a lot to do
48:46Ah
48:53Next door in house one page is keeping busy after storming out of her wardrobe consult with kingsman
49:00It's better than sitting in that kinsman stupid consultation
49:03This morning page was excited about the prospect of changing the floor plan of her house
49:09But architect jillian brenchley feels the changes are a bad idea
49:13Probably not on the right track because there's no measurements kingsman also can't lock off their wardrobe plans and put them into production
49:22Hey, what's going on?
49:25Just raging
49:27internally and externally
49:30It's just like you go into these consultations
49:34And I have no idea why like no one's polite
49:37so it's not even like a
49:40Problem
49:41of like the planning and everything like you can have
49:44Open discussions, you can have differing opinions, but like just don't talk like an asshole
49:50Page has left fiance jesse to continue the consult without her. My partner's feeling really disrespected
49:56I just think she's feel like she's been looked at like she's an idiot
50:01And she's not I just need to back up my partner because she's feeling super disrespected and I can't and we're we're happy to
50:08Support you in there understand from our perspective. We've got to try and pull everything together
50:13Yeah, so we can provide it and not you on on the time and complete it accordingly
50:19It's not our intention to make it even harder if anything
50:22It's to assist problem is it's very hard to make decisions when there's no there's no set plan

50:53I i'm 100 adamant, but I really like to i'm the other way around. Okay, that's fine, you know
50:58No stress. Okay, cool
51:00I respect him obviously because he's a great accomplished architect, but I actually don't give a fuck about his opinion because it's
