..on the Block...

Got some bad news, guys.

Massive supply chain issues cause

an on-site insulation crisis for a house...

Bradford ran out of PIR boarding.

They don't have any in stock?

PHONE: We are working on that at the moment

so please understand, it's across all houses that this is happening.

Everyone needs it yesterday.

..and pressure mounts to complete

the biggest living and dining rooms in Block history.

We've got some but we haven't got enough.

Oh, no.

Being made right now.

So that means, if you haven't got a concrete floor,

basically, you're going to be two days behind.

And that's everyone. That's me included. That's everyone.

I don't think we're going to deliver a finished room this week.

It's not possible.

Also last week, we kicked of a charity challenge

after our contestants received a heartfelt letter

from a local Gisborne family.

Tim, who has Down's syndrome, he was

with his beautiful best friend Tyler who has autism.

The house just isn't as comfortable

as it could be for them

so Kay thought why not reach out and see

if the lovely people from The Block who are coming to town

would like to help him and Tyler

which of course we would.

(VOICE BREAKING) All right, where do we go?

Who will take out this very special challenge win?

One team is going to walk away with $10,000 cash.

All will be revealed tonight on The Block.

(DOG BARKS)

Hi, I've got to go.

I got to go to the charity house.

Sorry. Don't have time.

Rache's up early because she's got an important role

in helping the reno Tim and Tyler's charity house.

Bye, guys.

Well, if we're going to be making over this house here,

we may as well turn this into a team challenge.

Yeah, baby.

So I'm figuring if you've got two teams, we need two team captains.

Correct, Shell.

So let's go Rachel and Ryan, Dylan and Jenny.

Whoo.

Captains Dylan and Jenny chose Ankur and Sharon

and Oz and Omar to form team two.

They've been making over the dining room, outside patio

and Tyler's room.

While team one captains Rachel and Ryan chose Tom and Sarah Jane

and the all-star duo of foreman Dan and builder Duncan

to make up their team and transform the kitchen,

front lounge and Tim's room.

This morning, I got here at seven to let the trades in.

We are getting everything done because we have got

just a little bit over 24 hours to get all this done for Tim and Tyler.

Today's gonna be absolutely huge, insane.

Right now, we have Carpet Court putting down carpets,

painters painting, Sparky's fitting off, Gyprocers.

We have got plastering, crews outside doing landscaping, decking.

I see cars rolling in right now.

This is mayhem here.

Also on site helping out his team one captain is foreman Dan.

He is on hand to take in a tonne of today's deliveries.

Oh, wow.

This afternoon, hopefully all the subtrades will finish up.

That way, hopefully, when all the contestants come,

we've got the house to ourselves.

We can take everything out,

do all the touchup painting and start bringing everything in.

Ooh, yeah. That's big.

This is the last full day then we've got tomorrow till about midday.

Then we'll reveal to the two boys

so we've still got about 18 hours to go

which is plenty of time for us to get in there and finish off neatly.

Back at The Block, Sarah Jane in house one

is getting ready for a big day of living and dining room mayhem.

PRODUCER: What's on for today?

Um...

(HAMMERING)

I'm just waiting...

(HAMMERING CONTINUES)

SCOTTY: Maybe just tell us about what your room will look like.

Kitchen's on the left, dining is on the right.

Follow it through into the big pitched ceiling,

down the end, TV on the right.

Some nice artwork, back and then big glass floor to ceiling 6 1/2 m.

Macedon ranges views uninterrupted.

Solar farm to the left.

(LAUGHS)

Tom and Sarah Jane.

Tom and Sarah Jane are doing everything they can

to nab their fourth room win in a row.

It's Tom and Sarah Jane.

So yesterday, they pulled the Hipages Lever

to get former block builder Jason on-site to help them out.

What's going on, you two? G'day, Jase.

How are you, buddy?

Good to see you, buddy.

You've come back and you've got a big task here.

Yeah. There's a bit to do.

Jase from Charles Bros came out today, organised through Hipages.

Tom's carpenters haven't really braced his house well enough.

OK. So you've got that wall brace?

Yeah. Mate, what I want you to do...

Can I have a look at your finger please?

What have you done, Tom?

I want you to go to hospital.

I just noticed my knuckle was getting a bit tight to move.

PRODUCER: Other one.

This one, yeah.

I can't full close it in.

Do you know what you did to it?

Don't know. There's something in it.

A bit of metal.

Yup. You're off to hospital, mate. That's in... That's in dire straits.

We'll take care of it, mate, while you go to hospital.

Let's go, Tommy. You go to hospital.

I'll look after the house.

Love you all. Thank you.

Uh, shouldn't someone let Tom's loving wife Sarah Jane

know her hubby is off to the hospital?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, mate.

He goes to hospital every 14 weeks at home.

All the time.

I can't tell you the amount of times

that he's gone to Sunshine Hospital

in the eight years I've been with him.

He's like a VIP at Sunshine.

Like VIP.

How often would you go there?

Every four months, three months?

Hi, Trace. Wendy.

Yeah, he would. Every three to four months he'd go there.

The first two years, I was really worried.

Now I'm like, now I just drop him off.

I literally do like a school drop off.

And I don't even pick him up any more.

I just say, "Make sure you get an Uber home."

That's why I didn't blink an eyelid, an eyelash.

Blink an eyelid! An eyelash. (BLEEP)

Who knows? That's why I didn't blink.

This year on The Block, Tree Change

was all about renewability and sustainability.

Scott from RedEarth Energy Storage has some superb solar solutions

in store for my place.

Commercial power, power prices, net zero emissions.

This is looking outstanding already.

We've got three of these decks here.

How many panels have we got?

There's 132 panels all up.

We are going to 50kw, aren't we?

Yes.

Most houses are running off ten and happy.

Yup, that's right.

We are doing 50kw. You got your own powerplant.

# I've got the power... #

That's exactly what it is and with the oversized system,

in summer, you'll be producing excess electricity.

So it's going back into the grid?

Not actually back into the grid.

We've got a way that you can actually commercialise

that excess power that you've got in your summer.

It's all over the news at the moment,

power prices are going to triple in the next six months or 12 months.

And we're not going to have any power bills.

No. There will be no power bills here.

You'll have excess electricity.

And we're going to be net zero emissions on this property.

It's amazing.

Essentially, completely off grid, these properties.

Sign me up, brother. Yeah.

And at last night's winners are grinners dinner,

our blockheads were pretty stoked with the news.

You guys are going to be off grid within two weeks.

(CHEERING)

With net zero emissions.

Yay!

Meanwhile, over at house five, Oz

and Omar's living dining area is progressing extremely well.

Wednesday's all right.

PIR boards are coming in.

We literally got ticked off yesterday

for all insulation so we've just

slowly started putting them up on the cathedral ceilings.

And hopefully we can get our plasterers in

at some point today to plaster up.

And after getting a hot tip on their fireplace two weeks ago...

Honestly, we just want a lot of places you can make love.

(LAUGHTER)

In front of a renoer, you can do anything you want.

R-r-right.

Now we know that,

the boys' fireplace will be installed today too.

As soon as you walk in, pretty much

dead centre will be our Remii gas heater.

On the right, dining table.

On the centre literally a nice L couch.

Left side piano.

It's chilled, physically but in our heads, is frantic.

That's honestly...

When you're not working physically on The Block,

you're working mentally.

But I hope people can see that.

Probably can, bro.

Probably think we don't do nothing.

Botox, the way I'm going.

You need more than Botox, my man.

There you go.

You need a facial. We need a facial.

Uh, sorry, what?

Can we do a facial next week?

Come again.

And do our nails too.

Oh, gotcha.

Yeah, boys.

Normally, I come in to have a growl at you, right?

This morning, I'm coming in to pat you all on the back.

Great stuff, guys.

You guys are doing really well.

The other houses are nowhere near where you are at the moment.

I'm hearing quite a lot of other contestants just go,

not going to finish it in the way I see it and giving up.

No, don't give up.

If there's anything that we can do to help, just a quick pep talk.

No, thanks.

One reason house five might be making good time today

is because yesterday,

along with houses two and three,

they finally received their PIR boards.

These are the boards that have been causing

the massive insulation supply headaches for all our blockheads.

Why is this insulation such a big deal?

The issue on The Block we are trying to achieve

is a seven-star energy rating.

On a normal build, you'll probably just have your...

(CLATTERING)

The issue on The Block we are trying to achieve

a seven-star energy rating.

You have to go to major lengths to achieve it.

Put our roof sheet above the insulation

then we've got ProctorWrap.

We got 60 batts.

We've got our PIR board, we've got our clips, we got our battens.

Then we got our Gyproc.

It's a huge process

and it's slowing the contestants and their builders down right now.

Another team who has their PIR board

is Ankur and Sharon in house three.

This week, we've got living and dining room

and we've got a cathedral-high ceilings of 7m

and we are organising exposed beams on the roof.

We've got a fireplace, double-sided fireplace right smack behind it all.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)

But it looks like they're a long way from that finish line.

Where are the tradies?

House five, I've just come from there.

There'll be 15 or 20 guys in there.

Every other house has got a team of tradies working hard.

In house three,

there is zero.

Currently Ankur and Sharon are heading out together

to collect things for the charity house.

Oh, my God. That's gorgeous.

We'll get this framed to keep it preserved and amazing.

A noble move but not a smart or efficient one.

For the challenge house,

We have to go to Tullamarine first

to pick up a signed Essendon jersey for Tyler.

From there, we had to go to Brighton.

Yup. To Framing to a T.

To Framing to a T because we used

Tim and Tyler's photos and made a collage on canvas.

It's just that picking up of stuff takes a long time

on the road and is just because of

the tight turnaround of the challenge.

Not everyone can drop everything off which is understandable.

(CREAKING)

Hello.

Hello.

Sharon?

Hi, KD. Hi, Keith. How are you doing?

Good, how are you guys?

We're alright. Not too bad, mate.

Now, at the moment,

every house has got about 15 or 20 tradesmen inside going frantically.

You haven't got one person working in this area at all.

I've been standing here now for about 20 minutes, half an hour.

There is not one trady in your living area.

Back at The Block, you've got Scotty

who is our chippy and Liam,

they know what they're doing from what we have told them.

And then they are not on site

so they go off for like hour lunches to Gisborne.

Not even locally, on-site

and then Keith was like, where are your trades?

Yeah, sure. All right. No worries.

See you.

OK, bye.

Where is everybody?! (BLEEP)

That's what happens when you leave.

Yeah, and also we are paying them for that time.

We don't have budget for stuff like that. We are busy.

Yeah.

With just 3 1/2 days until living dining room reveal,

Rachel from house two is off furniture shopping.

I want to win this week.

I want the (BLEEP) win this week.

Like I'm telling you, I want ten, ten, ten.

Ten, ten, ten.

This is what Rachel is shopping for to hopefully score those tens.

We've got dining room tucked over opposite the kitchen

and in the centre of our living room,

we're going to have a built-in fireplace

with the TV above it with this massive L-shaped modular lounge

and we are still doing the Blackbutt flooring ceiling.

So with Rachel off-site for the afternoon,

hubby Ryan is back at The Block working hard in house two.

(YAWNS)

He's managing their very busy living and dining room build.

All the PIR boards are already up.

So ply is going on today.

Hopefully lying floorboards tomorrow on the ceiling.

We are pretty much getting all the inso done

so we can have that signed off this afternoon so we can start sheeting.

Windows and doors are 80% done.

We are waiting for the guys to come back to put two more doors in.

Then we can basically start closing it all in

which will be a little bit warmer

and start feeling like the room's coming together.

PRODUCER: Sounds like you've got it on track.

Yeah, look, why not?

We'll say that.

I'm happy to say we're kind of...

Kind of on track.

Next door in house one,

Tom is supervising his build on the phone from hospital.

Tom: How are you travelling?

Yeah, not too bad.

The boys are underway with their panel boards

and we're just about set these four posts now.

Earlier this morning, Tom revealed a nasty injury.

I want you to go to hospital. Yeah.

Because Keith had concerns over his finger.

What was the outcome with the finger?

It's actually going down.

Oh.

Tell the (BLEEP) story, Tom.

Well...

I'm in hospital.

Swollen and infected finger.

It felt a bit funny for a couple of days.

Can you wake me up when you're finish your story?

If you're going to pick a day to be away from The Block

when it's been snowing, pissing down rain...

..absolute chaos here today.

Today's the day.

Got an x-ray, ultrasound, couple of blood tests.

Well, let's see what they find.

Is it a boy?

Oh, my God!

Anyway, turns out he has an 8mm piece of glass in his finger.

There it is.

Plastic surgeon's like we have to get that out.

We can't take it out without surgery

because it's too close to the tendon.

It's not an emergency

but come back in two weeks

and we'll talk about getting rid of it

and they gave him antibiotic

so he doesn't get an infection in the interim.

Done.

Yeah.

You're a doctor.

There you go. I'm comfy.

Got my good socks on.

Back at The Block in house four...

# Everybody dance now... #

There's some serious hardware being deployed

in Dylan and Jenny's living room.

# I feel the music

# Give me the music... #

We're just in the process of getting in the ThermoTech guys

wanting to install the glazing.

Then we've got the MIR board,

get the sparkies up in the ceiling,

sheet the ceiling, sheet the walls,

sheet fireplace, insulate the fireplace,

get the fireplace installed.

Lay the flooring.

It is a (BLEEP) tonne.

and it's Wednesday arvo.

Dylan and Jenny are hoping all their hard work

will deliver their first-ever room win.

As you come through the kitchen,

we've got a little seat area

and then two chairs with a little coffee table.

We've got two three-seater couches

in front of the big fireplace, with a big stone wall.

We would love to win because we really do need the money.

And to keep tradies going, they'll have to keep them caffeinated.

Hello.

Hi, Jenny.

Can I please get two extra-shot caramel cappuccinos?

I need a lot of energy.

We'd love to pay more to our landscaping,

start getting more stuff done.

What the hell.

So yeah, of course it's hard but what do you do?

You've got to keep trying.

Got to keep trucking.

Ooh.

Ugh...

We've got to get some money sooner or later.

You can't go the whole time and not have anything.

Meanwhile, over at house one...

Ugh...

Thomas!

Tom left at 7.45 this morning and it's 4.38.

I don't know how many hours that is because I'm not a mathematician.

But it's a bloody long time for Tom.

But lo and behold,

our wounded warrior has returned from his hospital stint.

Of course. It's not his fault.

It's not his fault at all but I'm just stressed because,

if I have to manage the building site, I don't know how to do that.

Tom! I missed you.

Come here.

I thought I'd have to paint without you.

Everyone thinks I'm a bitch but, you know, I do love the man.

I do value his finger.

I don't want him to lose it forever.

Hello, everybody.

Show me your finger.

It's fine. All done, mate.

It's a stump, now?

We're good to go.

I've got some antibiotics to do.

You can see how swollen it is.

I was so scared I had to paint without you. Oh, I missed you.

Can I just ask a question in relation

to our audio team at the moment?

Yeah.

Why does Rob look like he's about to do a colonoscopy?

I know. I've already asked him about his gloves.

(LAUGHS)

As soon as he came to film...

(WOLF WHISTLE)

It was like, "Rob, I can't deal with your (BLEEP) gloves",

I said to him.

Stop it.

I thought you were going to show your hoo-haa!

Oh, no. There's nothing to see. It's cold.

From derrieres to night airs.

At the charity house with the subtrades done for the day,

our blockheads can get in for the finishing touches

before tools down in just under 14 hours.

Oh, the amount of work that we have to do is crazy.

To get it done for tomorrow, it's going to be an all-nighter for sure.

Oh, Paul.

It's bigger than you.

What's happened here?

Hey, sport...

Seriously.

It is all coming together.

The boys have organised the back area.

We've organised the deck.

Shaz and Ank were out all day

picking up all the furniture for the house.

Got two swings to build, dining room table just to put it all together.

Clean, paint, make sure it all looks pretty.

Oh, look at that.

Oh, wow. Oh, my God.

We should start robbing houses. We would be good together, Duncs.

What's important to me personally right now is making sure

that Tim and Tyler get the absolute best that we can give them.

You're quite strong, Rachel.

My wife is piss-weak.

I'm very strong. Watch out for the chair.

I'm very strong.

It's something that means a lot to Rache,

to be involved and you know,

our kids are a little bit young to see that

but, when they grow up and we do show them these tapes,

they will understand how thoughtless Rache is

and how much she's willing to help out anyone at any time.

Thoughtful!

(LAUGHS)

Oh, sorry. Sorry.

That bitch is thoughtless!

I'm road testing Tom and Sarah Jane's amazing kitchen.

It received the rare honour of a perfect score from The Block judges.

30 out of 30!

Wow.

Now our friends at Freedom Kitchens

are giving you the chance to win a $50,000 dream kitchen.

It includes quality cabinets, bench tops

and state-of-the-art appliances.

For your chance to win, simply head to The Block website and enter now.

(SNIFFS) Perfection.

It's the morning of our huge challenge house reveal

and Rachel is ready for a big day.

Good morning.

PRODUCER: How are you?

Can't wait. I'm so excited I woke up so early this morning.

I've been lying here because it's too cold to get up

but I'm so excited.

I can't wait for today.

I'm so excited.

Can't wait to meet Tim and Tyler and I can't wait to see their reactions.

It's going to be great.

With such a massive day happening off-site,

our houses need to make sure

that everyone is briefed for what to do on site.

What's the plan for today?

To get this room plastered.

Plaster's got to be on it.

Plaster, starting to plaster it.

Plaster. Plaster.

Plaster. Plaster. Laying plaster.

Right.

With tradies briefed, it's time to head to the challenge house.

Hi, we're good. Let's go.

Tom's whole body is swollen at the moment for antibiotics

and I said all right, swollen big boy.

How are you going?

Wayhey-ey-ey!

It was just a joke. Obviously I wouldn't put out.

(LAUGHS)

OK, we've got lots to do.

We've got heaps to do.

Love you, bye.

# Wow, I feel good... #

Howdy.

Yo, guys.

Hello.

Oh, look at that trampoline.

Oh, it's so nice.

The challenge house we decided to be hooking until tools down.

With only about an hour to go,

every member from every team is digging deep to get it all done.

Me and Shaz went into Tyler's room

and made his bed, vacuumed, cleaned, painted.

So we've just popped down to Beacon Lighting

to get us some additional downlights.

Awesome. There you go.

Thanks very much, mate, for your help.

Cheers.

See you, mate.

So we're just gonna clean where the deck is.

We'll blast all of that.

Once that's done, you're just gonna

spread out all the crushed rock and make it look amazing.

Our blockheads have well and truly gone above and beyond

for this charity house challenge.

Renovating six rooms in just over nine days is a mammoth effort.

They've worked tirelessly

to transform a kitchen, two lounge rooms,

two bedrooms and an entire outdoor area.

Absolutely amazing stuff.

Hello.

Well, hi.

How are we going?

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

That's a big telly.

That's an 86" telly.

How are we feeling? You've got an hour to go. Are we ready?

We've only got the kitchen to do so we're good.

All right.

This looks great. No, it looks great.

Very interactive. I love it.

Check this, the outdoor decking. It looks amazing.

Shell, have a look at the Stratco. Have a look at this.

I love that.

Basketball. Got a ramp.

That's brilliant. So good.

This is beautiful.

And I know this wasn't on our original plan

but obviously the Macedon Nursery and Garden team

have jumped on board.

Done the whole backyard.

Which is just fantastic.

Look at this basketball court.

And slash putting green.

You've got your Vuly trampoline in.

Your veggie pods, your swinging chairs.

This is awesome. It's awesome.

Oh, God.

Righto. One hour to go. Yeah. That's it.

Do you think we should lend a hand?

Yes. Yes.

I don't know where. There's 1,000 people here.

Don't know what to do.

It's all action.

There is landscaping going on.

Like crazy basketball court being built.

We have taken into consideration

every aspect of Tim and Tyler's needs.

That is a house for them.

I hope that they're here forever.

I hope that this is their paradise.

I hope this brings in nothing but happiness.

It's going to get me already. This is amazing.

PRODUCER: 30 minutes to go. What you need to do?

Dining table, chair, painting, cleaning, out, see you later.

We've got to go now because Shell is about to rip into us.

Yes!

Thank you.

Who needs interviews when you've got a job to do?

Frankie, Frankie here.

Hey, Scott, thank you, buddy.

All this time and effort with you and your team.

Managing to do a nursery and landscape supplies.

Absolutely outstanding, mate. It just looks incredible.

Yeah. Thanks, Scotty.

We loved every minute of it to be honest, mate.

It's a local family, local to where we are

and we couldn't have been prouder to be involved.

Mate, the effort that you put in

over the last five or six days has been outstanding.

The place has been transformed.

It's just unbelievable, mate.

Yes.

I got something over here. Come with me.

The old Husqvarna robot.

Yes.

It's just going to come out here on its own, mow and come back to bed.

Totally. It will go back to the docking station.

It's all programmed by your phone.

Yep.

Out she comes and runs around the perimeter

and that puts itself at to bed.

That way, your garden is going to look spectacular all year round.

I couldn't agree more.

Mate, thanks again so much, mate.

Appreciate it.

Fantastic. The boys are going to love it.

# Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance

# I can't stop the feeling

# Creeping up on you so just dance, dance, dance... #

Are we ready for chairs?

Yeah, that's perfect. You've got...

Is it level?

No.

Ugh...

Are you on?

I had to put the TV up on our beautiful wallpaper.

A Samsun... Samsung...

AT.

AT.

A to a T framing TV.

Was it AT...

It's not Samsung.

What's A to a T?

It's a brand. Is it?

Yeah, A to a T.

PRODUCER: Framing to a T.

Framing to a T.

Framing to a TV...

PRODUCER: What's framing to a TV?

It's just... It's a picture frame TV.

PRODUCER: Sorry, start again.

Yeah, so I had to put up a...

Anyway! Moving on.

Where do you want these, man?

Probably further down, I reckon.

Down here?

This is a disaster.

No, no. That's all right.

You're moving the hole!

Good, are we?

Yeah, I'm good, bro. Keep going.

You good?

Ugh...

(WOLF WHISTLES)

Whee.

Tools down.

(CHEERING)

Yeah, well done.

Good job.

Good work.

Good work, team. Good work.

Well done.

Good work.

Last week on The Block,

we kicked off a life-changing challenge

to help out a local Gisborne family.

Oh, Tim and Tyler.

The two young men are best friends and have special needs

but live independently just down the road from us.

Tyler's mother Sandy and Tim's mother Kay want the boys

to be able to maintain their happy household for many years to come.

Because of this, Kay has asked her Block neighbours for some help.

The house just isn't as comfortable as it could be for them

so Kay thought why not reach out and see if the lovely people

from The Block would like to help Tim and Tyler

which, of course we would.

It's something that Oz and I are very familiar with.

We do a lot of work like this back at home.

Some people just get thrown hurdle after hurdle after hurdle.

It's nice to give back to people

that deserve it like that, yeah.

For sure.

We just wanted to get on board and help.

Our blockheads were split into two teams.

Rachel and Ryan, Tom and Sarah Jane

and all-stars Dan and Duncan formed team one

and were tasked with transforming the kitchen,

front lounge and Tim's room.

Dylan and Jenny, Ankur and Sharon and Omar and Oz make up team two.

Their job had been to make over the dining room,

the outside patio and Tyler's room.

(WOLF WHISTLES) Tools down!

And after ten days, our challenge house is finally complete.

Well, congratulations, team one led by Rachel and Ryan

and team two, led by Dylan and Jenny.

You've done an outstanding job.

Tyler and Tim are going to love it.

I know.

Yeah, they are but of course there is a prize up for grabs.

There's obviously ten grand at stake as well.

Yes, from catch.com.au, we're going

to find out who's going to cop that coin very shortly.

Shell, who is the judge today?

Oh, well, some of you love him.

Some of you love to hate him.

Let's bring him out.

Mr Daren Palmer.

# Girl crazy about a sharp-dressed man... #

Yeah!

Everyone and their dog is here.

G'day, how are you going?

How are you doing, big fella.

Mwah, mwah, mwah!

Hello, Daz.

Hi, get down.

Oh!

ALL: Ohh!

(LAUGHTER)

That's magical.

And you know what, Frankie, just like we practised.

Do you know what, I hate having to take my shirt off.

We've got two teams that have worked on separate areas of the house.

This of course wasn't just for charity.

It was for a big prize.

So are you ready?

Team one, team two. We are not going to tell you what areas they did.

Good. We're just going to head in.

Good, sounds nice and fair.

Yeah. Absolutely.

Just like me.

Let's go. Come on. Let's go.

Come on, you dirty mongrel.

First up for judging is team one.

They had the kitchen, the front lounge and Tim's room to do.

Darren, I'm so sorry about the dog and your jumper, mate.

You all right? Oh, look.

He's wiping it off with a wet wipe.

It's OK.

Let's get to business, shall we?

Space one.

Wow.

The front lounge is team one's first area up for judging.

Tim and Tyler are both so sensory sensitive

so we were thinking of a sensory area

where they perhaps can play musical instruments

and some really fun things for them to be able to do.

Awesome.

It is awesome.

I've got to point out there is a few things

that you might not notice.

Aluplast have replaced all the windows in the whole house.

They had some help from...

They did from Asterlight who are a local manufacturer

and Viridian donated all the glass as well so we had a massive help

from sponsors on this particular project as you would imagine.

New carpets, Court Carpet.

For Tim and Tyler as you know, it's all about that sensory experience.

I'm just doing this already.

I like the sensory experience of this carpet under my feet.

Grafico's done the wall for them,

the mural and the team did put in a lot of effort

thinking about what the boys are actually going to use the space for.

It's brilliant.

The movement and the vibrancy.

The colour in there.

I love that you've got that sense of the cascading waterfall

and it just feels exciting.

It's fantastic. What an amazing job.

That's lovely. Let's move on through.

Leaving the lounge, the kitchen is the second space team one took on.

Kitchen came out fab.

We wanted to just make it light, bright,

Tyler's vision-impaired so...

Veluxes.

Yeah. Open everything up, get some good lighting in there.

Love it. Love it, love it, love it.

To the second space for the same team

which is of course a brand-new Freedom Kitchen.

with Residentia appliances.

Yes, and this used to be quite a dark space, didn't it?

Now it's so bright with the Velux skylight.

It is anything but dark now, isn't it?

I like that it feels so light and bright.

They've chosen beautifully. I love a Shaker profile.

The boys don't really cook but when their carer's with them,

they love to sit and watch

and obviously get involved in that regard

so it was really great for them

to have that bench space too to be able to sit there

and actually observe everything

that's going on in the kitchen itself.

Yeah, you can really see that it's perfectly done.

Everything's been installed beautifully.

It's a mammoth effort but it such a transformation.

Team one's third and final space is Tim's room

which is located at the back of the house.

# I'm picking up good vibrations... #

For Tim's room, we heard Tim loves water.

We want to create his room to feel like he's in a big wave.

Okey-dokey.

# Good, good, good, good vibrations... #

Well, this is full of joy, isn't it?

Isn't it? Yes.

I love that they've got the keyboard in here

and all the toys and all that joy.

I think the wave again has that sense of movement to it.

How do you go past that?

Yeah, we'd like this in a room,

just to touch as you walk past all the time.

100%.

That's it but it feels really cosy in here too.

I think this has really been tailored beautifully for Tim.

You've got all the tactilia.

I love that you've got the great consistent colour scheme.

So one team has delivered the front lounge, the kitchen

and this bedroom.

OK.

They're all being judged as one.

Well, high bar.

All right, well, let's move on to the second team.

Wow, look at that.

Whoa.

Oh, look at this.

Oh, boys.

Oh, look at your new home.

Look. Look, look.

Then later...

One team is going to walk away with $10,000 cash.

And there is a thin margin in there.

The team that wins today's challenge is team...

We are halfway through judging for our charity house challenge.

So let's see how team two's Dylan Jenny, Oz and Omar

and Ankur and Sharon fared with their three reno rooms.

Team two have the dining room, the patio and Tyler's room to complete.

The first space for the second team, this is Tyler's room.

For Tyler and this room, we know that he loves red.

We know he loves Essendon.

We know that he loves cars so I was like, bing.

Obviously a water theme next door.

In here, he loves his footy.

Essendon.

And we've got a car motif there.

I'm a bit of a car nut so that works for me.

Essendon is lost on me unfortunately.

I thought it might be but it's a football club, mate.

Is that what that is?

Yes, AFL.

We've got a signed jersey behind you.

Wow, how did they get their hands on that?

They've been hustling, hustling, hustling all week.

That's a big find.

Again, you've got that lovely tactility on the headboard.

You've got velvet there.

Everything in here does have that sensory input

and I know that's important and I love that that's been considered.

OK, we've got another lounge room space to have a look at.

That is correct.

OK, come this way. Let's do it.

Located in the heart of the home, the second lounge

and dining room is team two's next room up for judging.

The boys' lounge area looks so good.

All the stuff that I ordered was right.

A dining table, TV cabinet, Grafico wallpaper.

Couch, everything looks awesome.

Lounge room number two is out here.

Couple of points I'd like to point out was the Velux skylights.

This was also a dark space.

Mirrored TV, dropped off by Danny Wallace.

Our great friend of The Block Danny Wallace. Love you, Danny.

And dining room table over there. That's new.

I love that there is a dining space

and lounge space and we have two different lounges.

The boys can sit here together or they can be separate.

I think that's excellent.

It's a great open space.

I notice that the Grafico ties into this great sideboard

and I love how the timber there

in the picture runs into that timber on the board.

I think that's fantastic. It's dramatic, you know.

Yeah.

There's lots of drama.

There's lots of interest, there's lots of input

and I think that's really cool.

Look, I wouldn't be a judge

if I didn't find something that I think I could have improved on.

Yes.

They could have used a rug here, I think.

Absolutely.

You do notice it.

You do notice the difference

between that lovely tactility under your feet and the warmth.

Well, the last place for you

to judge is the patio and that was the same team.

So let's head outside.

That's new?

That's brand-new.

Situated on the home's west side,

the patio is the third and final space taken on by team two.

Oz and I organised what needed to happen in the landscape

that was never part of the reno.

We were just meant to do the pergola area.

The Stratco, pergola and decking

and we smashed that first day when they gave us.

Pretty much, we were like do you know what,

they love putt-putt, they love basketball, just do something...

They love the swing.

We pretty much did a lot in landscape.

OK.

Ooh.

Darren.

This had a very old timber pergola out here with laser light on it.

And Stratco have came up with this...

It's this fantastic product of theirs

which spans that whole distance.

No framework required.

They've got the ceiling bit here,

they've got a foam insulation in the middle and then the roofing on top.

It locks into a channel at this end

and sits straight on that beam there.

Done.

That's it, simple. Unreal.

Yup. And lets light through too.

Beautiful. That's tops.

Perfectly complemented of course

by our new outdoor timber-like decking.

Great thing.

That transition between here and here, nice and flat.

Yes, it was a big step down.

That's brilliant.

Nice big outdoor area.

I love what it's leading to over there.

Ooh, now, you go and check that out

while you come up with a winner for this challenge.

That wasn't a part of the brief.

Scotty and I didn't think for one second that in seven days,

they would be able to do all of these spaces plus the outdoor yard

but team two decided that they were going to take it on board anyway.

Can't be judged but there is a lot of stuff out there worth looking at.

But there is some local people

that came and worked for a week doing that

plus Carpet Court put the basketball court slash putting green down.

They all got together and they did that for nothing, mate.

Wow. Yeah.

There were local businesses here that just wanted to be a part of it.

Wanted to give back and so they've been actually out there

in the sleet, the snow, the sludge

working a lot harder than our contestants.

I'll be blatantly honest.

They've done a beautiful job.

Well, I know who the winner is.

That's right.

Team three!

Team three! They get the win.

That's it.

You've got some decisions to make, my friend

and we've got two young lads who own this house ready to come home.

They're on their way.

Sorry, how do I choose between...

You're the judge, mate.

Eh? Mate, that's your department. Shell, let's get out of here.

Nothing to do with me.

Good luck, champion. Thank you, Shell.

As I said, some love you, some hate you. What can we do?

Ohh...

Wow.

Wow.

Our two challenge teams have finished at the charity house

and their rooms have been inspected by our judge Darren Palmer.

So now it's time to show Tim and his mum Kay

as well as Tyler and his mum Sandy

along with some of their family and friends the efforts

our blockheads have put in to create this really worthy renovation.

It's all happening.

Are you guys ready to bring them home?

ALL: Yes.

You've met Sandy and Kay. How about we meet Tyler and Tim?

Yes. Here they come.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Say hello.

It was an amazing feeling to see Tim and Tyler walk up the driveway.

I was just really excited to see them so happy.

I feel like I almost cried, to be honest.

Yeah.

Let's go. Let's have a look, mate.

Come on, Mum.

Thank you.

Tyler...

You got water falls.

Wow. Look at that! Wow.

Oh, look at this.

Oh, boys. Oh.

Look at your new home.

Look, look.

Look at this.

Jack, come and have a look from this side.

# We always find a way back home... #

I'm overwhelmed by it all.

It's just fantastic. I just can't believe it.

This is just beautiful for the boys.

Couldn't have wished for anything more.

It's like winning TattsLotto. It really is.

Look at that.

The Bombers. And a tractor.

Oh, wow.

It's just beautiful.

We've got a whole new house.

I mean, what you have done in such a short time, it's just...

It's wonderful, really is.

Oh, wow, Tim.

Isn't this fantastic?

Is this a high five?

Yes.

High five.

There are some people that unfortunately

it rains on all the time

and they just deserve a little bit of sunshine.

And I think that Kay definitely

and Sandy are just two people that deserve sunshine.

Their sunshine is Tyler and Tim.

That is their sunshine.

Come in.

We'll have a look at Tyler's room.

You come and take care of your room.

Today was an amazing feeling when we actually got it done.

For them and to see them smile and be happy about it

Love it.

Oh, so much better than what we had.

There was nothing here.

This is beautiful.

Oh, both the boys, Tim and Tyler, they're so nice

and if you like they really appreciate it.

What do you think, Tyler?

He's ready for dinner.

He is ready for tea right now in the new kitchen.

Whatever happens over these 12 weeks,

this alone has been worth all of it.

So here we are, at your new kitchen table.

I know.

This is just beautiful.

The boys will enjoy so many meals here.

It's absolutely fantastic.

Well, it was a wonderful week for the contestants.

I know they worked incredibly hard but the reward for them is huge.

As well.

Oh, thank you. Yeah.

You know, they did have a prize.

This was a competition to them

and catch.com.au was our sponsor

but of course they also are throwing in $5,000

for you and the boys to jump online and buy whatever your heart desires.

Oh, really?

So not only money for our contestants to take out the win

but an extra five grand for you and Tim and Tyler to do a bit of a shop.

Oh, thank you so much.

I mean, this is just brilliant. It's, um...

..overwhelming. It really is.

It's wonderful for us.

It makes us feel so good to be a part of the Gisborne community,

to be a part of your family.

Thank you.

To get to be involved so thank you for writing to us.

Thank you.

Thank you for reaching out. No, thank you.

We are thrilled to be here as you can tell.

We are all absolutely delighted to be here.

What you've done here is helping keep the boys in their home.

The boys will enjoy every moment of it for years to come so thank you.

No, thank you.

Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

Oh, that was our own private little moment.

I didn't know we had an audience.

PRODUCER: All from that one letter.

Yeah, one letter. Yeah.

I can't believe it still.

Thank you so much to everybody and I mean everybody.

It's just something that I've always been passionate about.

I've worked in disability for 12 years.

I'm a new mum myself and I know what it's like to have a child

and want the best for them.

Yeah and just...

(LAUGHS)

Yeah, I'm stoked that we could use that week for the mums

knowing that their kids, their sons have a safe environment.

Ladies and gentlemen,

thank you so much for having us here in your house today.

It's been an absolute privilege for all of us to come along

and give Tim and Tyler a bit of a hand and make things

a bit more comfy for them.

One team is going to walk away with $10,000 cash

thanks to catch.com.au.

Wow.

But before we get to the judging,

I know that Ryan has something he'd like to say.

Yes so the fact that team two was out here

and obviously contributed with outside

as well as all the landscaping, team one has come up with,

from Duncs, he organised it all.

We've gathered up $20,000 in cash

for you guys to go towards maybe a bathroom,

a laundry and a powder room renovation

so that 20 cash is for you whenever you want to spend it.

Oh, wow, thank you.

Wow.

Thank you so much.

RACHEL: Kay and Sandy really need that bathroom done for the boys.

It just wasn't something we were able to achieve in eight days.

This now means that they can have that done

and that time can be taken to make sure

that it is the safest space for Tim and Tyler.

Guys, that's an amazing gesture.

That's touching.

Tim and Tyler are the big winners today obviously

so we had a blue room and a red room.

You both did a lounge room.

There's skylights.

I'm trying to compare one thing to another

and choose a winner and there is a thin margin in there.

You all did a fantastic job and have transformed a house that's just...

Means more than just the challenge yourself and more than the money.

Without any further wait, the team that wins today's challenge

is the team that created the lounge room,

the blue room and kitchen.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Team one!

Team one.

Well done, team.

Team cuddle.

That's it.

Rache and Ryan, your first win of the season. I'm very excited.

(CHEERING)

And Jen and Dylan, you're still winless.

I know.

No, I won the sprint race, Shell.

He did too.

It's the little ones that count.

There we go.

Team one, 10,000 bucks coming your way thanks to cash.com.au.

Thank you so much for what you guys have done this week.

It is phenomenal.

It is now time as Jack was pointing out before,

it's time to party, isn't it?

Yes!

Yes!

Who's on the barbecue?

Today, it's just been incredible.

The win really goes to the boys and Kay and Sandy.

They are the real winners.

We just wanted to get the house done for the boys

so whoever won at the end of the day,

it wouldn't have really mattered because we got it done.

So that's the main thing.

It was all for them.

It was the least we could do and we're happy.

We would do it again.

So far, it's been the most rewarding challenge we've done

and just the feeling of seeing those two young men walk out,

it's the nicest feeling I've had so far on The Block.

Better than any win.

Yeah, definitely.

It's crazy. We are very lucky.

We are lucky to be part of this.

You show Uncle Bob your basketball ring, Tim.

Here.

Here's the ring.

Go on.

Show uncle Bob.

It was a good day.

Yeah, definitely a good day.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

# You make my dreams come true

# Ooh-ooh, whoo-whoo

The largest living and dining areas in Block history is causing chaos.

There's two teams that are not going to finish.

Do we feel sorry? No, we don't.

We are not going to finish. We are not going to finish.

We're not going to finish. It's huge, it's huge, it's huge.

I can't paint. I can't paint.

He was just, "We are not going to do it. We are not going to finish."

That's how my brain works.

Shh.

All week.

Oh, God. There's always something on this bloody show, I tell you.

Our vision is not really coming to life.

It ain't going to happen.

Hello. What's going on?

We are freezing. We are hungry. We bogged the car.

I don't know what you're thinking. What were you thinking?
