And that's a wrap on what was my 3rd and final time being a chippie . Didn't think I could do it 2 years in a row but a technicality got me back in with the company I work with in the real world . Massive year with plenty of ups and downs and the scale of all the houses this year is incredible.
Thanks to all the crew for another round of listening to my endless flow of talking bu****it.
Thanks to our contestants for the call and taking us on board for this wild ride.
Thanks to my family for making the big adjustments of me not being around very much for the last 12 weeks.
The boots have been hung up and thrown in the bin as the block completely destroyed them!!!

A massive shout out to the hospitality of for the past week. They were kind enough to invite us (their block builders) into their family home and treated us to an amazing holiday. It took us many years to make it up there but was worth the wait. We got to reminisce on the good and bad times of the block, laugh a hell of a lot and have a few cheeky beers of course! Thanks so much and here's a few of the good times we had. ππ€πβοΈπβ

And now for something a little different π
This bee hive is NOT available for sale, because of the sheer number of hours it took to create!
These bright and happy bee boxes were painted by my wonderfully skilled partner in life - head over to her page to check out more of her amazing work.

Dining table, vanities and beehives are stacking up. This is what I look at when I walk into my little workshop. Starting to run out of room but it's a good problem to have π My custom hives are getting ready to go out this week heading up north to NSW. Feels so good to be making something I absolutely love and can't wait to see them in my customers gardens and more importantly the bees enjoying their beautiful custom homes.

Well I did not see that coming....
It was abit of a flat end to the whole block experience but at the end of the day we created a special home for the lucky new owner of 2 Bronte Crt.
Thank you to for bringing us on this block journey with you and welcoming us into your beautiful family. You guys were such a laugh and we got to create some really special memories together.
Thanks also to my partner in crime I don't know why we put ourselves through the pain again but it was so worth it. You are an absolute legend and couldn't get through the whole thing without you mate!!! π
Alot of things can change in 2 years so I don't know if we will be back for another block but it's always a possibility. π

Tonight on the block is all about family. This is my amazing wife Erika and my baby girl Cadence who was 18 months old when the block was being filmed. These are just a few of the screenshots I took when I video called my girls everyday. There were weeks I put Cadie to bed Sunday night and don't see her again till Saturday arvo the following week and for me who has not worked a Wednesday since she's been born because I have my solo daddy day and value my family time alot higher than work time. This was a real shock to the system.
Erika was a real driving force behind me coming back on for a second round of building the block and my family stepped up and helped out big time so a massive thank you to all the amazing fam. β€οΈπ§‘ππ

Taking Georgia for a cheeky little bee hive inspection with my mate Ben helped me fall in love with bees from watching his beekeeping apprenticeship videos 4 years ago now. I started with one hive and now I currently have 5 spread across 3 locations. I have 3 hives in my front yard and my two year old loves to get up close and keep an eye on what the girls are getting up to. My custom made hives will be available to purchase through the block shop later in the week.

Ummmm did you see that staircase???? π and myself put in 93 hours in 6 days to get this week over the line. We tried to complete 7 areas and fell just a tad short but was an absolutely huge push by all trades involved and for getting as much painting as possible completed. I love this entire house and the inside is now complete!!!! One week to go.
