00:00Tonight, it's a front yard free-for-all for our final week working on our block houses.
00:11If you've got any leftover concrete, lads, just send it down to House 3.
00:15But it's not a fair playing field for the girls in House 1.
00:19We can't even do, like, our deck.
00:20Our site has been a storage facility for, like, since day one, for the entire block.
00:25One team is flying high with plenty of cash to splash.
00:29We're talking nearly nine grand.
00:30Just because we've got 30 grand, we don't want to make a circus.
00:32Like, we want to do it tastefully.
00:34I love this idea.
00:35I think it'll look really nice.
00:36Yeah.
00:37We believe we're delivering a Ford Mustang-winning garden.
00:40And the boys from House 3 are left rocked by a massive error in judgment.
00:45We stood back and looked at it and went, oh, God, what have we just done?
00:50Oh, my God.
00:52This is a complete disaster, boys.
00:55You guys actually did this.
00:58Oh, this is going.
01:05Brad's like, oh, you know I'd follow your OnlyFans.
01:12It was so inappropriate, it wasn't even funny.
01:19I've got a situation.
01:20Oh, what's happened, Scotty?
01:22Kylie, she went off to her flooring extra consult this morning.
01:31It was seen with a small bag.
01:34She went to the flooring extra consult and then she's never been seen since.
01:40She has not been seen.
01:47We've done everything we can to locate her.
01:49We've done everything we can to locate her and we've just discovered she's landed in Brisbane.
01:55She's gone back home.
01:57She's landed in Brisbane at about 20 minutes ago.
02:00We're assuming that she's heading to Cairns.
02:06All right, so I'm saying goodbye.
02:08I can't be on national television with having my marriage breaking down.
02:14I'm going home and I can't say I'll be returning.
02:20So we went to the cafe today and Tina and Lulu basically said that Brad said something to Mimi on Saturday night
02:28while they were all having a drink.
02:30But Kylie was asleep.
02:32And it turns out she perhaps wasn't.
02:34And then she wasn't asleep.
02:35But we don't know what Brad has said.
02:37Now, I think it might be, yeah, if she's left it's obviously something that's pushed her over the edge.
02:45Are you going to call me again in the morning or what?
02:47No.
02:48What I did when I was drunk is none of my business.
02:51It's none of mine either.
03:01I'd very much say that I've just single-handedly destroyed my family.
03:18It's not true.
03:20Tell me I've been lied to.
03:22Crying isn't like you.
03:24It's not true.
03:26Tell me I've been lied to.
03:28Crying isn't like you.
03:30It's not true.
03:32Tell me I've been lied to.
03:34It's not true.
03:36Tell me I've been lied to.
03:38Crying isn't like you.
03:40It's not true.
03:42Tell me I've been lied to.
03:44It's not true.
03:46It's not true.
03:51Morning everyone.
03:56One day.
03:58Um, so we'll have all the deliveries the same as always, every day.
04:02This week and last week.
04:04If you know what's going on, put it on the whiteboard.
04:06Help traffic, help us in the street.
04:09Knowing Kylie, do you think it's likely that she'll come back?
04:12I guess I don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen
04:30Is that house threes true call wish we could turn back time
04:35We can't even do like our deck. We can't do our pavers. It's not really a level playing field when we can't do anything
04:43House tight had
04:46Everything under the Sun on it. It had house with two three and fours true call it had nine and six
04:52Eve and had every single person's paint it had timber it had people's fireplaces and pots
04:59And so it was like literally like a garage sale
05:03Hayden do you want it? That's your true call. I was your seat. You're coming to get it. What's that? Yeah, it's yours
05:07Oh, yes, wait
05:10Bit of everyone else's crap on our land
05:12so what happens is the
05:14Deliveries get dropped at ours and then I think they either don't come and get them because they don't need yeah
05:20Or they don't have space so they just leave them there outside has been a storage facility for like this since the day one
05:26Yeah, but the entire block
05:28Let's come up with a game plan. Yeah, what's better for you guys for them?
05:32Just concentrate on this paving when you get that paving
05:36Yeah, and then we can get that cladding move somewhere else so that cladding in there we want a stuff done
05:41So if we are a deck in there nine and six are cladding the front of our house
05:45So they're essentially got their scissor lifts their scaffolds all the things set up like directly where you would have a garden bed
05:53So there's no hope for doing any softscaping today
05:57Softscaping refers to the living growing elements of your landscaping. These include trees shrubs flowers grass and all other horticultural components
06:04But we're gonna at least try and get a concrete slab down for our front path
06:10Paddy and Charlotte's front pathway will feature a bright white baumont tile
06:15line with only very young plants simply because
06:21Because of the budget like I can't have heaps of plants I can't do any water feature
06:27I can't have custom like doors that I would have loved to have had
06:31So we've just had to really strip it back like it's still it's still going to be beautiful
06:35And there's like there is beauty and simplicity
06:38But it's just not anything extravagant
06:51Have you heard about Kylie I pal and she's gone
06:56What do you mean gone like off the island that's what we've been told that maybe she's left like gone home to Cairns
07:04Apparently, yeah, we haven't seen Brad. I don't think I'll see Brad
07:08Yep, so I don't know if you should check up on her or something
07:14I don't have anything. Hey of hers. I can contact her
07:18She was really bad yesterday
07:20Did she speak to you Bailey like we tried to I only got a hello
07:24She just said she was pretty much done Brad seemed very down. I
07:29Don't think they were talking yesterday
07:32Is she like all and gone?
07:35Apparently, yep
07:37Which probably makes I think she did need a breather. She did need a
07:41Hopefully, it's just a couple of days
07:45They said that Kylie's gone home is this the first you're hearing of anything like that
07:52Do you know why she's left I don't know maybe landscaping
07:59She's home
08:02She's home
08:05She's home
08:08She's home
08:10She's home
08:14Was that like an up and up and left or was it a discussion or
08:29I don't know like she's always like threatened to leave and stuff. I never think she'd actually leave
08:35Especially with like two weeks left
08:41I
08:43Wanted guys, I'm gonna get a vest before I get in trouble
08:49I'm just gonna get a coffee grant. All right
08:52The news is getting back through because you came back you had the goss. I assume everybody was like you what do you know?
08:58What do you know? You obviously like it was slowly getting out there that Kylie is no longer on the block
09:03Did you hear?
09:05Yeah
09:07Yeah
09:08Did you hear what?
09:10Kylie had left. Yeah, it's a shock because we've got one more week
09:14Like I'd love to just end this on a high but there is a massive elephant in the room. I
09:20Didn't know until last night Scotty announced at dinner. I thought he was joking. What do you mean?
09:25He said Kylie's work Kylie's left and that was like when we found out and we're all like
09:30Just sitting there in shock
09:32I
09:34Did text me me last night and I said look have you heard?
09:37And she's like what oh so maybe in you
09:43Yeah
09:45Interesting, well, I think she's involved I have no idea
09:58It's the final week of work on our block houses this way
10:02Which
10:04Also means it's the final week of worrying about block budgets
10:08But at this point in the competition, it's no longer about balancing the books
10:13It's all about finding enough money to present a decent front yard for the final week
10:20Unless your name is Courtney or grant just so happen to have an extra 30 grand in their pocket
10:26Thanks to a win and two tens worth 10 grand each just last week
10:30Yeah, 30 grand. It's our biggest win. Yeah, we loved our backyard, but we didn't think I didn't think you'd get the reaction that a cop
10:38So we got a deck into here. Yeah, and then we'll go a post
10:42We're trying to put a lot of our budget into an entrance feature and having like, you know, really
10:47Great straighter present street presence. So we are going to get three or four others leading up to our front door
10:55Which will have the exact same angle as the slanted undercover area before you walk into the house
11:00So basically to continue that but make it a bit more of an aisle
11:03So yeah, we're just talking up between if it's gonna be three or four others
11:08So that's three. Yeah, I think three I
11:13Mean, I don't know. What's the difference two grand? Yeah, but you think you're talking 150 bucks your lily-pilly. Yeah
11:22Another 20 lily-pilly. Yeah, I think stick to three having decided on three blue crocs
11:28Others to accompany their French travertine tile walkway Courtney and grant also plan to add in some lily-pilly trees
11:35Stringy bark wooden deck and a custom-made timber door just because we've got 30 grand
11:40We don't want to make it a circus that we want to do it tastefully
11:43Investing in the arbors and the custom timber door
11:46I think is the main thing and obviously the main suite patio like I think there would be our key areas
11:51Asked whose main suite patio is positioned here to the right of the main entrance
11:57Ideally Courtney and grant would love to add additional blue croc arbors around their patio
12:01But their total of a outlay would skyrocket. You're talking a nearly nine grand. No, I'm gonna yeah, it's not worth
12:09We love the the blue croc arbors that we got the front. There's no doubt that they come with a price
12:14So we had to sort of think think about how we can do them a little bit cheaper and still with a quality product
12:20What we're thinking is for this we can do it with timber and paint them black. Yeah, and not too high
12:25No as high as the door
12:27Yeah
12:28So Courtney and grant have decided to design and build their own cheaper wooden arbors to frame their curved French pattern
12:36travertine tile main bedroom patio I
12:39Love this idea. Yeah, we believe we're delivering a Ford Mustang winning
12:45garden
12:46Reason being is your front yards meant to be about a grand entrance of that street appeal and you know
12:52You don't need to rewrite history to do that. So I feel like we'll take all those boxes definitely
13:05Hey Scotty
13:07Good to see you. Good to see you. How you traveling? Yeah, pretty average. Yeah. Well look I
13:16know you sort of up to speed what's going on because I
13:21You know, I've been on the Ford getaway and
13:23Last night. We're worried about Kylie yesterday. And then last night I find out that she's in Cairns
13:30Yeah, did you you know that she's in Cairns and I understand that it
13:36Stemmed from something that happened on Saturday night
13:40Yes, I said and I the three of us were all hanging out together
13:45Having a few drinks you said some things that a little bit
13:50But I was I didn't feel that it was so, you know, I
13:56Mean I'm here not to I'm here to make sure you're alright. Yeah, I'm here to make sure that you're
14:02Comfortable. I'm what happened. Yeah, I'm honestly fine. I'm just you know, I just want them to be okay. Yes. Yes we all do
14:11But I want you to be okay. Yeah, that's why I came here first. Mm-hmm
14:14And now I'm going down to see Brad. Yeah, I'm honestly fine. Okay
14:19Thanks, buddy. Thank you. Scotty ten days to go ten days only
14:24Ten days to go good idea happy. Yes. Okay. Well done guys. Thanks. Bye
14:37So you guys were just
14:44Mm
14:57If they're okay
15:08Mimi can you tell me what happened on Saturday night?
15:12So
15:13Saturday night
15:15Backyard week. I was at Kylie Brad's house
15:19We just hang out drinking
15:22And then we're just chatting and then Kylie went to sleep on the deck next to us and
15:29then I just stayed chatting and
15:33You know, maybe there were some comments that were made that came across as flirty. I
15:39Personally felt I comfortable in the situation. All I knew all I know is that
15:45Kylie woke up and then she went into bed. I think that was when it started. So that's when I left
15:52It's
15:54unfortunate that
15:56You know Kylie overheard which led her to you know
16:02Leaving which was not
16:05Anyone's intention
16:09Christian how do you feel about all this?
16:12um, I think I don't think Mimi should have any regrets about
16:17Going out and having a good time. It's like coming to that that time where she's we're gonna have to say goodbye
16:22So she wants to make the most with the beautiful people and friends that we've that we've met
16:28But in terms of the comment, I mean if Mimi didn't feel uncomfortable about what was said
16:33Then I've got no reason to do not I mean
16:36I'm not I'm not that type of partner. That's gonna be overprotective and
16:40Like you literally haven't done nothing wrong. You just see me having a conversation. It's like you were flirting back
16:59Oh my gosh, that is outstanding
17:02She likes it to see how our all-stars Dan and Danny rate the blockheads rooms when they award their weekly champs and chomps
17:10Who are your champs?
17:11exclusively at the block website
17:20Bradley Scotty
17:23Mate obviously I've been on the Ford getaway been away. Yeah
17:28I'll find out last night that something happened on Saturday night
17:34Between
17:36You Kylie and Mimi. Um, yeah problem. I've got now is that Kylie's and cans
17:42Yeah, it's I don't know. I don't know what to say me
17:47Yeah, well look I can tell you right mate. I've spoken to Kylie and she's coming back tomorrow
17:55She's flying back
17:58Is that good news? Yeah. Yeah good. Yeah, it is good news
18:03She's still upset
18:05but she is gonna come back and
18:08And I think that you've got a role
18:14But the best husband you can be yeah get get get it all back on track. Yeah, it's all I want
18:20It'll be it'll be good to see ya. Yeah. Thanks, man. All right. See you, buddy
18:27Guys coming back tomorrow. Yes, that's um a massive relief really still
18:36Yeah, still
18:42Over in house three
18:44The boys are out on the prowl for any cheap extra goods. They can get their hands on
18:50And by cheap, I mean free
18:53using recycled hoses
18:56Yeah, apparently this is a free-for-all in
18:59In Brad's driveway is having a free yard sale. It's a recycling. Yes. Yes. It's all about sustainability
19:06So and making sure that this hose gets another life
19:12If you've got any leftover concrete lads, yeah, we know where to put it
19:16Yeah, that's fine. No, I don't know how we'll go. We've got a few more holes. Oh, you got a few left?
19:20Yeah, but if we do, yeah, that's fine. Yeah, if you do just send it down to house three. Yeah, who's concrete is it?
19:25It's house
19:27one's concrete
19:29House one's concrete, but it's leftover
19:31So it's gonna get bins or it can go on our vehicle
19:34It's about sustainability here on the block and we don't want to see anything wasted doing Duncan. No, no, no, it's about things for free
19:41And don't you know sustainability
19:44Ability. Yeah free concrete doesn't love that
19:46100% we're just gonna empty it into this so he can get going
19:51It's all about sustainability. Apparently. I don't know what that work
19:56Yes. Yes, that word seems to work around here. So I'm gonna keep using it
20:02What I'm Jake and Duncan isn't the only one embracing sustainability at the block this year because for our 20th season
20:10We're partnered with Combank to help build a brighter and more sustainable block for all
20:16And as Shell and I have been discussing with the blockheads throughout the series
20:19Combank are helping us in our quest for sustainability with a hundred thousand dollars
20:25So far, we've already spent 60 of the 100 grand on solar panels on all the roofs
20:31Yeah, it's all about that building a brighter future, right?
20:35You've got your induction cooktops from E&S downstairs highly energy efficient
20:40We're doing water filtration into the whole house. So there's a lot of little things happening around the place
20:44Yeah
20:45And in another sustainable initiative Kingspan are on site to install the last of the many water tanks that now populate the block
20:53And they're game because they're letting 4Dan tell us about their product. Happy to have a go mate
21:00So this year in the block we have the urban water tanks from Kingspan
21:04Now they worked with a little so this year in the tank. We have the urban water tank from Kingspan
21:11So this year in the block we're installing the urban water tanks from Kingspan it acts as an on-site water detention system, which is amazing
21:18It's a two-part tank now the top part when we have a heavy rainfall
21:21It brings all the water from the roof stores it on there
21:24So it doesn't go down the stormwater drain and causes flooding. It'll slowly release it
21:29Then from halfway down it acts as our recycling water that we use for our toilets and our gardens
21:39Kingspan are amazing. They're Australian made they've been around since
21:421934 they'll have four types of tanks to fit all sizes and yards get one of these help the environment
21:48Don't clog all the stormwater systems and water your garden for free
21:53Every little thing you do
21:56It all it all goes a long long way one bit of rubbish a couple of holes of concrete
22:02We all got to do our bit for the planet. Hey, where does wastage concrete go? They just stick it in landfill. Yeah
22:09No, they turn it back up and turn it into new concrete
22:14So it doesn't get wasted no
22:16But think about the fossil fuels that that's not a waste get getting back to the depot
22:21I thought it's it's a waste of fuel the carbon footprint
22:26It's a win-win
22:32Coming up
22:34Budget woes leave house fives garage build in limbo
22:37I'm just stressed because I wasn't expecting to receive the whole garage
22:40Oh, we can't afford to have our chippies here. It's just keeps piling up and piling up and piling up
22:46Ricky and Hayden's week. It's rock-bottom
22:49You guys actually do this
22:51It's
22:54Definitely not we didn't vision and Brad faces the music as Kylie returns to the block
23:12Welcome back to the block Phillip Island and our second consecutive week of the hustle and bustle of working outdoors
23:18Oh
23:20truck loads of deliveries
23:22Noisy earth-beating equipment army of landscapers to deal with front yard week is certainly no walk in the park
23:31Just to top things off a blockheads are also planning for next week's Disney Plus Clubhouse reveals
23:38And there's a game-changing prize on offer with a massive
23:43$50,000 to come up one lucky team's reserve price come auction day
23:47Ricky and Hayden have chosen to do the alfresco area of said clubhouse
23:51Which is basically one big veranda and the boys from house three couldn't be happier with their space
23:58Yeah, really excited for our Disney Plus Clubhouse. We'd
24:01We're starting to ramp it up a little bit
24:04We had some concrete poured for the big plinth would be half that goes underneath the fireplace today
24:10And this is no ordinary run-of-the-mill fireplace because it also doubles up as a pizza oven and grill
24:16Stacked with firewood either side and brickwork all the way up to the roof
24:20This fireplace is going to be an alfresco showstopper
24:25It's good to start saying it takes in shape
24:28With the slab now poured this job is far from finished
24:32Because the boys have decided to have a crack at burnishing their concrete to try and achieve a high-end knockout finish
24:39We
24:43Want to put the right effort in and we want to make sure we're doing everything we can
24:47To be in the best position to win that 50k up with zero experience burnishing concrete
24:54Who better to ask for advice than our resident concrete aficionado?
24:58Fill the concrete up so you keep trailing it while it's drawing time. Yeah
25:03Yeah, keep doing the stages want to do it every half an hour or something. Okay. Yeah, so it gets really hard, right?
25:08It's it's pretty cold out here on Phillip Island. So unfortunately concrete takes a bit to cure
25:13So if I'm gonna burn it shit, I'm gonna be doing it all night
25:16Okay, trowel as best you can fill in all your little holes
25:19Yep, and then eventually gets to a point where it's that hard where it's nearly doing nothing
25:24Maybe add a little bit of water. Yeah, I think trailing it gives it that sort of burnished look, you know
25:28Okay for me
25:29It's it's not about time or how long something takes about getting the best finish especially when it comes to that clubhouse
25:34We've got to go to sunrise or go to a sunrise Rick's gonna take the night shifts
25:38I'll make sure I'm there in the morning
25:42Holding the fort
25:44Thanks mate appreciate that appreciate support sounds like I'll be here solo
25:52Confirmed
25:57The tricks gonna be
26:00I get that across the whole thing
26:13Probably been going at it for about an hour
26:29I
26:33Know the more work I put into it the better the result back side
26:38But I don't really care when it takes man if it takes all night the tasteful sunrise
26:52It's a new day here on the block
26:54But it's the same old pre start ritual
26:57Maddie and Charlotte are both turned up, but it's not to say G Mac
27:02Instead they're awaiting the arrival of someone pretty special
27:14Our dad has come to visit he just got back from Europe and
27:21Decided he was gonna drive down and see us. I have to get a new shirt
27:27And we were like you know what if you're coming all this way, we may as well put you to work
27:31Look at that part of the time. Yeah
27:36He went and got his white card on Monday
27:39So that he could come on site and drove down on Tuesday. It was here on Wednesday
27:46Yeah, he's straight to work no time to waste and his first job is jackhammering up the tiles in the garage the fun job
28:06He's such a hard worker, I think that's like both our parents are really hard workers
28:10And so that's probably where we get a lot of like our drive from
28:14And so he wouldn't have it any other way isn't like he's like what can I do? How can I help?
28:28Although he's getting a bit old so we'll see how long he actually
28:33Reunited yeah, I must admit. It's the best time. I've first time being overseas
28:38That I really look forward to coming back and saying the girls
28:48Well there's certainly no doubt that he's a hard worker and he's a hard worker
28:52He's a hard worker and he's a hard worker and he's a hard worker
28:55He's a hard worker and he's a hard worker and he's a hard worker
28:58It's not a compliment. I'm not sure well. There's certainly no doubt that Graham is about as honest as the day is long
29:06Speaking of long days, so I finished burnishing the
29:11Concrete plinth for our fireplace this morning at about half-past two boys. How'd you go with the concrete give me the judge mate
29:17All right, I wasn't sure how it was gonna turn out because I've never done it before and
29:23Everyone was really happy with how it turned out
29:26See the reflection you can see the light bouncing off of it mate
29:29It's like a mirror look at that great job mate for an amateur
29:33to do something of this level yeah is
29:37Impressive and with burnished concrete this good word travels fast
29:42Once the fire's going on it's just gonna heat up be nice and warm to sit on oh, yeah
29:46It's a nice color too in there looks good. That's impressive. Yeah, thanks mate. Maybe should be a concreter
29:53might have to be
29:56Are you serious
30:02Unfortunately left the slab unattended and now there's probably
30:05500 600 kilos and plastered products that were stored on top of it
30:10That's brutal mate. I like I worked so hard on that all night to come back and find all that on it. That's devastating last night
30:18Working three o'clock in the morning could be off enough
30:25I
30:28You worry about some valley yeah definitely
30:35I've upset her and I know she wants more space and we're just coming back to so
30:44What's your plan
30:48I'm playing
30:56Just keep doing I guess until she's here and try and give her as much space as she wants
31:05Hey traveling her off
31:08Yeah, she's coming back. Okay cool. You need anything you say snow. Yes, sweet. Oh awesome
31:15You see a friend that's down you see someone that's going through something rough. You want to give him a helping hand where you can
31:21so
31:22Yeah, Brad's gonna stay with us and we'll give him whatever he wants whether it's a spare bed fireplace
31:27I'll catch the fireplace whatever he wants
31:30Open house Brad
31:45You think you guys can get through this Brad
31:47I
31:51Have no idea I hope so, but it's also unfair for me to hope so
32:17Oh
32:25Right yard week has so far proven to be a whole lot tougher than expected
32:30Not only do our blockheads have decks to build walkways to lie
32:34Forests of green to plant I've also had the additional task of revealing their garages this week
32:40And for Christian in house five that means a whole lot of unforeseen extra work
32:46I'm just stressed because I wasn't expecting to reshoot the whole garage
32:51And then that just was a curveball. They got thrown to me on Monday
32:54And then a baton and plaster those walls
32:56I thought I could just patch the few little holes and keep it as it was
33:00Yeah, we're gonna have to pull the whole thing
33:01Yeah, Christian was hoping to leave the garages original plaster in place
33:05But as it's been damaged during the renovation it needs to all come out
33:10Then the walls need to be patent
33:12Insulated sheeted and support nogs installed for the roller door
33:17We can't afford to have our chippies here to sort of help out and like there's nogs that need to be installed
33:21So it's just keeps piling up and piling up
33:26How's your budget looking? It is not looking
33:30Very nice. It's all my fault. It's not your fault at all
33:33I trusted everything everything that you also trusted me when I said our budgets looking fine
33:40Even though I never checked
33:43Yeah
33:44You know every time we had a interview. How's your budget look? I'm doing great. So good. We're under under budget
33:55So the budget is looking really good I'm budget Queen
34:00How's your budget looking?
34:01Our budget is looking great. The budget is looking good
34:05Overall budget is looking really good. Our main goal is to you know, keep winning
34:10keep getting
34:12$10,000 because front and backyard are going to be
34:17Expensive, I think it's too stressful to be traffic
34:27One person who might not find this a laughing matter is house fives landscaper Troy Lovett who was working with a razor-thin budget
34:36I
34:40Complement their existing giant palm tree Christian and Mimi are adding in some new turf several wooden posts
34:46Pailstone gravel driveway for boat parking some garden beds along with some large feature rocks
34:53So today I've got to get
34:55The slab done for the garden shed. So do that create some garden beds
35:00I want to get a couple of the poles put in the ground today, and then I've got to confirm the grass
35:04So still a lot of work that needs to be done
35:06Yep, a whole lot of work, but not a whole lot of money to do it with
35:11This is a concept that the boys down the back in house three are very familiar with
35:18Budgets tight
35:21Talking dollars and cents, especially with some plans that we've got this week. Awesome, mate
35:27Can't wait brother. Thanks. Bye. See you bud. Who's that? It's Brendan from food cube
35:34So we've got eight
35:37Self-contained sustainable
35:41Living gardens being installed on Thursday Friday and Saturday
35:45You got a bunch of sustainable features in this house
35:48Haven't you like talk us through all the ways well, even just the way that we've designed our landscape is very sustainable
35:52So we're using a lot of recycled timbers and rocks and stones and things like that for us that natural Australian
36:00Landscape is gonna be just deck
36:02Grass
36:04and a heap of fun
36:07Positioned at the rear of the block house three's yard this week wraps around the left-hand side of their house
36:13Out the back Ricky and Hayden are leaning into their sustainability mantra with plans for a large recycled timber deck
36:22Self-sustaining food cubes featuring veggie gardens to supply fresh herbs and vegetables and at ground level
36:28There's not a paper in sight. You don't remember those good times you had on some papers out the back
36:32It's like how good was that?
36:34You know those summer memories kicking back on the deck or you know, kicking the footy or playing cricket on the grass
36:40so
36:42Sustainability wise fun wise that was always gonna be our sort of goal
36:47It just so happened that it sort of helped our budget a little bit as well
36:51I
36:56I'm gonna see if there's any concrete deliveries today. I mean we need three barrows
37:07So we I noticed you got concrete coming at the tree
37:14No, no, no
37:16No, it's all good. Oh, I'm just
37:20Just checking see what's gonna block the driveway
37:26Wow, she can leave that that's good actually dunk. It's a 2 p.m. Concrete delivery locked in tick
37:33Next mission find Phil the concreter
37:37Hey Phil, okay, Betty. Are you concreting today?
37:42You reckon you'll have four barrows left over. I don't know. You've got one truck coming
37:46Lovett's got a few happy as well as taking off me. Okay, there's any left. Yeah. Oh, it's any presenting left
37:52Yeah, we don't want to send it back empty
37:55I've only got two p-holes
37:57Thanks, Phil potential free concrete a definite possibility
38:02Bill what do you think of house? Oh, that's the leftover concrete house every day. They're coming us. I need this
38:08I need that just leftovers very environmentally friendly. Yep. That's right bill very
38:14Environmentally friendly and also free free free free cycling. Absolutely. We're recycling everywhere
38:21This is great. This cost a fortune. Did you get that from Spence? Has it left over from the
38:28From the magnificent alfresco area. He's got about six of those left over. I don't even know where I'm gonna use it yet, but
38:36I'll take it down
38:37What it's all about comes to the end of this game
38:40You've got to save dollars and you've got to use before someone else does
38:44Which is a very sustainable concept unless someone is still using said goods
38:54Duncan said you were done with them
39:03Right, yeah, I'm just I'm just following orders result free timber file
39:14Back
39:16I'm starting to get over that
39:28Over in house five Christian is still cleaning out the garage
39:32When is this ever gonna?
39:35And to add to Christian's misery Foreman Dan now needs the driveway clear as well
39:40This is gonna be down in about an hour. Yeah, so we're gonna get Karen from DIY blind
39:46So we're gonna get him working off a scissor or broom lift. Yeah, we just need out here clean
39:51It's just gonna be out of the way. So I get these lines in
39:55So now that the scaffold is coming down slowly
39:59DIY blinds are coming in and they will be installing the drop-down blinds on the balcony
40:06So the way we envisioned it was if we had the drop-down blinds
40:09It could almost be like you open up the double doors and you've got an inside and then an outside area that sort of becomes one
40:17But DIY blinds they need the driveway cleared out so that they can get the scissor lift in there. I'm trying to clean up
40:23Oh good. Thanks, mate
40:28I'm just feeling overwhelmed. Yeah, there was a lot happening in my head
40:36I
40:38Supposed to be helping Christian answer
40:43Hello
40:46I'm planning. Oh nice. Whereabouts are you? I'm
40:52Upstairs
40:56Okay
41:06Christian is such a patient man. That's what my parents said. If it's not Christian, you'll be on your own forever. I
41:15Think I agree with your parents so we make Christian noodles you can take it back to him. No, he's busy
41:21I'm smiled for about two weeks
41:23I
41:33To see more of the block head online for loads of exclusive extras
41:37And when I get social with fellow block a holics by giving at the block a follow and going behind the scenes with our teams
41:45When it comes to landscaping on the block you need to be able to work fast
41:49So it's paramount to have an experienced operator in charge
41:54Unfortunately, Ricky and Hayden lost not one but two experienced landscapers in the lead-up to our front and backyard weeks
42:01So the boys were obliged to form their own startup company
42:06R&D and construction
42:08So the boys were obliged to form their own startup company
42:14R&H landscaping team
42:16Hard as the saying goes every good team needs a good captain
42:21This week the boys have brought in an experienced horticulturalist to captain their team in the hope of taking out one last big room
42:29with
42:30Katie has like not only is she good at what she's doing
42:33But then she's good at governing everyone else and just waiting she can answer everyone's questions at the same time and be still doing what
42:40She's doing. She's absolute
42:42Weapon R&H landscaping would be nothing about Katie, which is a scenario that might just be put to the test
42:49So you got paid you get paid last week. No, not yet
42:52No, yeah, not because I just had to my ABN number got frozen. So my accountant unfroze that so Jenny
42:58I've just sent her the ATO tax and everything this morning
43:02We're gonna have to get sorted out because apparently it's not you're not an employee of
43:06Pounding Katie had some issues with her insurance because I think she came on working for Dunk
43:11But then switched over to work as a sole trader for herself
43:15And then didn't have the proper insurances and check up. We have sorted out, but we can't have you working right now. Absolutely
43:20Yeah, thanks for that. So just had to send Katie from house three away
43:24She hasn't been signed in correctly her papers aren't up to date or all of her insurances
43:29It's not the end of the world
43:31Everyone's got direction in house three on what to do
43:33She can go away for half a day get all this sorted and come back tomorrow morning ready to rock and roll
43:38The whole team fell apart when she wasn't yet from a landscaping point of view. Yeah, that's rambling
43:43Yeah, it was bad. We ordered four cubes of river rocks and basically screw the whole backyard
43:48I don't want it. I don't want it done there who wants to shovel this
43:52Wasn't going there
43:55I
43:57Paper scissors rock to see who shovels it. This looks like a hand job
44:06So, where are we putting this come on talk us through it? Yeah, we got so in the morning there's a bit of confusion we ordered
44:13two cubes of 20 millimetre rocks and two cubes of
44:17mixed river rocks and
44:19What's the difference for a start mixed river rocks can be anywhere from like 100 mil down to like 10 mil
44:28Lines that we ordered were 20 mil and the mixed so we ended up with a
44:35real mix of all the 20 mil and the mix so
44:41The original plan was to use the larger river rocks as a feature between the garden in the pathway along here
44:47With a smaller 20 mil rocks used along the thoroughfare along here
44:52Not only were the rocks delivered incorrectly in one big mix
44:56They were also dumped in the wrong place
44:59So now the house three team need to move this pile of rocks to the other side of the house
45:05If you don't like shoveling dirt try shoveling big rocks
45:09That is not a good time
45:18I
45:20Seriously
45:22Don't worry. I've got it fellas
45:25How long did that take you what took I each Duncan to laborers probably a couple hours
45:36Come to the block do some carpentry they said
45:39It's got to be done luckily, it's only Wednesday. We've got plenty of time
45:50Then once it was all out the back we stood back and looked at it and went oh god, what have I just done
45:58Yeah, I honestly
46:00You know all my all my days of landscaping. I'm a saying like this before no
46:05What have we just done we even got miles in from from Franklin's landscaping team
46:11And he literally walked in and said oh my god. Yeah. Oh my
46:20You guys actually did this
46:29I
46:35This is gold yeah, I think it's definitely not we envisioned that's for sure
46:45You can maybe get toppings on top of it, so I'm thinking what do you reckon yeah, you know topping yeah packed it down
46:49Yeah, my little topping straight over get something on top of it. Just whack it down. We'll get it level
46:54Yeah, why are you using less toppings? How do I get a level? Well get a rake and rake it?
47:00Yeah, so house three's contingency plan for their garden path is to now remove all the large rocks to form a level base
47:07And then cover said path with a topping made up of very small rocks, but unfortunately these river rocks are
47:15Unbreakable so now the house three crew have to shift all of the larger rocks from their garden path by hand
47:25This is the gift that keeps on giving
47:29I
47:36Say and cap with one and I'll go
47:40Decaf whatever okay, you're off the coffee
47:44Yeah
47:47Anxiety oh yeah, that's make it worse
47:53Why do you love Kylie night I
47:56I
47:59Love Kylie because she despite what some people might think is the nicest most giving person there is
48:09She's so driven
48:13We came on the block because it was always
48:16It's always Kylie's dream to do it
48:19She tried every year
48:23And we just wanted to
48:26I don't have an opportunity to set ourselves up for the family
48:34The family I hope I still have
48:55a
49:01Break
49:25I
49:55I
50:10Can hear me and I'm gonna throw it at you
50:13Do you understand what I heard I feel like something happened?
50:19You've just completely annihilated our entire relationship
50:26Tomorrow night
50:28As the clock counts down big things arrived, but just all our new plants how many at least 20 what?
50:36try 150
50:38Is enormous oh?
50:41That's massive feels like a hundred try exercise
50:45And with the end in sight what can go wrong does go wrong
50:50All I hear is crunch, so I've gone through both ends of the stormwater pipe
50:58Some slight complications trying to get the tree in the hole
51:04Nah, I was worried about that. It was a nightmare
51:09Big chunk I wouldn't we set up on the worst enemy now
