00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 6: All have a Victoria built in different decades afterrill it

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 6: is that So one House is nine ten twenties, thirties, forties,

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,600

00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 6: player earnams at the old part of the house before

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 6: we do a big rear extension.

30
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 5: They've got to put a nod to the era of

31
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 5: their home in their design, and that shows them all

32
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 5: out of wa because they turn up with motive boards

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 5: and pinterest boards and all that sort of thing, and

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 5: they've got to be tossed away because now they've got

35
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 5: to do.

36
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: It start from scratch. Is it a bit of a disadvantage, Scotty?

37
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 3: Is it a disadvantage for the person who gets drawn

38
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 3: the nineteen tens? Just from a structural integrity point of view?

39
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 6: Oh no, no no, We're make sure that they're all

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 6: ready to go and structural and down.

41
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: We said nothing about building.

42
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 6: Turn around, turn around.

43
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,080

00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: What do you mean, I love thee on the dark.

45
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: There was a bit of a disiverted Scotti.

46
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: When you Dorothy Dixon on the old structural, I.

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: Wrote down structural.

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're giving them a raw iron and mud brick

49
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: little dump to try and renovate.

50
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be better than that. I'll

51
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: talk I'll talk about my area.

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 3: I am strong, and let's talk about alcohol, Scotty Can,

53
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: because I know that.

54
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: A lot of people, a lot of people are in isolation. No,

55
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: I love it. I love talking about beers with you,

56
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: Scotty Can.

57
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 3: But here's the thing I was when I knew I

58
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: was interviewing your Scotty, I did want to ask you

59
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: a bit of fun around how many cans you're having

60
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: in isolation? But I also saw a photo Scotty of

61
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: you looking absolutely chiseled in your home gym.

62
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 2: What's going on there?

63
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 7: I'm fifty eight years old.

64
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 5: I'm getting fit for the first time.

65
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 7: I used to be fit when I was a tradesman,

66
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 7: and I've obviously let myself get a little bit. So

67
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 7: I'm getting back in the little I am drinking a

68
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 7: lot when I was in isolation for six weeks. I've

69
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 7: got three twenty something children living at home. So what

70
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 7: do you do in isolation. You're sitting around the kitchen

71
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 7: table after dinner and tell arms and stories and have

72
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 7: a few cans, and you know you end up doing that.

73
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 5: All the time.

74
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 7: So I was getting up in the morning, going for

75
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 7: going to the gym, getting into a sauna and that

76
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 7: sort of thing.

77
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 6: And I'm feeling good.

78
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 7: I just had a neck operation on myself and I

79
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 7: got into a bit of stripe about four weeks ago,

80
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 7: just from wear and tear on my body from Berger

81
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 7: chipping for forty years. And so I had this big

82
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 7: major operation on my neck which just came suddenly, and

83
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 7: the doctor said, I can only lift a kilo for

Speaker 4: I do.

101
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: We should probably talk about the Block twenty twenty because

102
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: as much as we like catching up with you, you

103
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: have got a very, very big TV show in your hands,

104
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: and you guys hit the biggest hurdle that you know,

105
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: all TV shows hit in and around March twenty five

106
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: when you had to stop filming pretty hectic stuff and

107
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: obviously people are to down tools and get away from

108
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: their properties. How'd you manage that?

109
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: Mate?

110
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 7: It was a really tough decision because we were putting

111
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 7: a lot of people out at work number one, But

112
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 7: at the end of the day, they shaw came second

113
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 7: and safety of all our people was definitely first. But

114
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 7: we kept some guys on for a bit and then

115
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 7: we had six weeks off in lockdown, and then we

116
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 7: came back and did two months solid and finished the program.

117
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 7: But we put a lot of things in place. Boys.

118
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 5: We had we built a clinic, we.

119
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 7: Had a full time nurse on staff. We did temperature checks,

120
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 7: flu vaccinations, we did social distancing in each room. There

121
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 7: was a sign in every room for how many trades

122
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 7: and were allied in here, and everybody stuck to the

123
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 7: plan that we came up with, and that means we

124
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 7: got through that two months and everybody got home safe

125
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 7: and sound and we finished the job. So it was

126
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 7: terrific effort by everybody go work and then when we

127
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 7: finished we had thirty cans like we all.

128
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: God, it sounds like Bove the Builder minus the alcohol.

129
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,800
