1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: This is jem Nation.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 2: We're Jonesy.

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 3: Well, we know her from the block and we know

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 3: her from selling houses Australia, but we've never had a

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 3: chance to peek inside the home of Shana Blaze until now.

6
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 3: She has a new show called Country Home Rescue Shana Blaze.

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: Hello, good morning, how are you.

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 3: We're very well, thank you. So tell us about this show.

9
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 3: I know it's been on for a while, but tell

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 3: us how it works because your kids are involved in

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 3: this too.

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

13
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: So we bought a house that we had actually bought

14
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: to create a movie in and it sort of had

15
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: the nickname Antiville Horror, so it isn't the nicest face.

16
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: But then we just decided to make it our family home.

17
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: Because we've sold our family home, we didn't have a

18
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 1: face anymore. And to tell you the truth, when you're

19
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: doing a house like that, you just don't want to

20
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: do it by yourself. So wrangle the kids in and

21
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: so giving people, as you said, a sneak peek into

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: us as a family. But also how you design a

23
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: whole rather than for a competition for sale for profit,

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: This is about the process of how I design and

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: how I make it work.

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: For us and I've just been loving the passive aggressive

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 4: fights you've had with Carly, your daughter.

28
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: That's just great.

29
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: That's our life.

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: And I've got because how old's Carly?

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: She she's thirty two.

32
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 4: Thirty okay, so I've got a twenty five year old

33
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 4: And it's exactly that.

34
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: Last night she came home from what it doesn't know.

35
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: I made a dinner and she looked at it.

36
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 4: You went yeah, And I went, well, what you know,

37
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 4: what are you going to And she goes, I might

38
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: make something.

39
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: I said, well, I've cleaned up the kitchen. You know,

40
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: says I don't be such an old man.

41
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: Seriously, Jonesy. That's why when the kids turned twenty, I went, yeah,

42
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm done. I've done twenty years of this time over.

43
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I think there's a certain time where you say

44
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: time to leave me.

45
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Now they're coming back there, they're moving back in with you.

46
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: Oh look, they'll always come back. I think if you

47
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: don't make the home you know about them as well,

48
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, to be a little bit sad and lonely

49
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: by yourself because.

50
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: You would miss it.

51
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: Has there been one, I think, Shana, that surprised you

52
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: from all the design work you've done, and all your

53
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: work on the block, et cetera. Anything doing this place

54
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: that surprised you.

55
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: Look, I think, look, you know what surprised me. And

56
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: I've always worked with incredible trades, but the buy in

57
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: from all the trades were there, and I used a

58
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: lot of lost trades and skills and you'll see that

59
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: sort of coming to the fore tonight in the next

60
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: few episodes. The skills that you just don't see as

61
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: much anymore, and just the pride and the ownership that

62
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: everybody was taking as they were building it. I can't

63
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: say it was a supplies in the fact that I

64
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: know when you get great builders and trades, they do that.

65
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: But the connection of everybody is how important it was

66
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: for them to show their skills and do a great job.

67
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I love historical houses. I've had a few. Actually,

68
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: all my houses are kind of quirky. But we had

69
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 4: one house many years ago, and you remember that we

70
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: had it was like a doll's house, Oh yes, yes,

71
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: And we'd have builders come around because we want to

72
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: renovate it, and they said just knock it down. Knock

73
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: it down and still standing, and we spent a bit

74
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: of money on it. I would never do that again.

75
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 4: But I get what you're doing. I think the bell Tower, though,

76
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: do you think that's a bit much?

77
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: Oh?

78
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: Totally, wait too much? Over the top? Like the bell

79
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: Tower is only one of them? Wait tis there's two

80
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: other rooms coming up, not in this episode, in a

81
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: couple where I go beyond quirky and are they over

82
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: the top of they too much? Absolutely? Am I a

83
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: bit too much?

84
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: Are you one of those people who likes living through

85
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: a renovation? Some people want to clear out and have

86
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: no part of it. Do you like the mess and

87
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: the chaos?

88
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: No, No, not at all. It's not It's not something

89
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: that I aspired to. And I think because I've done

90
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: it so much for the past that he is get

91
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: involved in Renno's been on building sites, lived to breathe it.

92
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: But I just prefer that sanctuary at home. And you know,

93
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: just being through this whole proce said, you know, we

94
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: weren't the building really excel down so we could live

95
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: in it anyway, But we were sitting literally on site

96
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: every day, living and breathing it, and it's traumatic a

97
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: lot of people. I don't get it.

98
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: Oh No, I don't get it.

99
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: I don't get it. It's truma.

100
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: Can we just circle back on the bell? Is it?

101
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: Do you?

102
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: Are you going to ring it? Does the bell ring?

103
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,840
