Yes? I love it. It's 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: eight agh season. Boys. 18 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: By the way, us. 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: You slipped into without lifted in two without us knowing there. 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: Our show can drink in votes. So mate, I had 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: the cucumbers on the eyes, I had the mud on 22 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: the face. But like in the forty five day period 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: on the Block, this year we had thirty nine days 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: of rain, oh straight, and the site turned into a combbai. 25 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: It was a disaster and we had a cruise walking 26 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: around the cameras in ankle deep marred contestants. It was 27 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: a really tough series three much out of the massive 28 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,919 Speaker 1: and rangers. It was very cold, very cold, dish, very cold. 29 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: Now you've got you you kind of had to love it, mate, 30 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: because you renovated a house. You renovated a house yourself. 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: This year, well, there was the. 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: Original homestead on the property that reboard from the McGeorge 33 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: family built in eighteen sixty, and it was it was 34 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: really falling down. It was just hanging in there by 35 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: the paint. But I stripped it out and we found 36 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: some beautiful boys behind some mason I anyway, I brought 37 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: the cottage back to its former glory and turned all 38 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: that area in the bedrooms and put a big pavilion 39 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: out of the back. And it was more an inspiration 40 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: for the other contestants because I was not judged. I've 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: not got the auction. It was just there's another house there, 42 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: so why not let's do it. I'll do it myself. 43 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: And and you know, if I, let's face it, boys, 44 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: if I did get judged, I would have won the block. 45 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: And have you have you still have? You still got it? 46 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: Scottie like, do you do you feel like you still 47 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 2: got it? Or were you sort of missing nails with 48 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: your hammer and looking for left handed screwdrivers? Are you're 49 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: falling for things that. 50 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Got boys from sixty right? When I mean clean ecoms. 51 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: I'm still on the tools now.

I'd delegate a 55 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: fair bit as well. I had a team, of course, 56 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: I can't do by myself, and I had a girl 57 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: from the blockshot giving me some help with design, and 58 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: of course because I'm me and I'm behave strike.

And they just didn't turn 97 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: up to that, and they didn't give us an opportunity 98 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: to talk them off the ledge. And we were to 99 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: help them and nurtured them, and we would have got 100 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: them through.
