The two best ones this week had the best scores. Could have gone either way.
I liked Harry and Tash's too.

Tam wasn't crying about anything. I think you mean Jasmine was crying about her plasterer's bill. Please, the bias against J&T on this board has grown laughable.
Tall poppy syndrome what?

Tradies go into this knowing its not a normal build and the money will initially be hit or miss, but this is a show that also kicks their business profile on after the season is over.Yep, sorry I have actually watched the whole series and can't get the name right.
I get he overcharged compared to the others but begging him to bring his price down because she has sacrificed so much was overboard given the wastage on the show. Like I said she is almost guaranteed to win hundreds of thousands of dollars. The tradie still has to run his business.
I did think Jasmine had a point. They charged $17,000 and didn't even finish when all the other houses paid like $10-12,000. They were overcharged IMO. I bet if this wasn't on TV that drywaller wouldn't have dropped $2000 off the price at all. He would've demanded all of it, maybe even said they won't finish until it's paid.
A woman cracking the tears to get her way, well that's not a new trick.
That's true. But many a tradesman has tried to get more than they originally quoted, and the cowboy builders use all kinds of underhanded tricks to get your money. The Block is different only because they do one area a week, they can't plan ahead. In a real build, any trade would quote for the whole build.In the real world, you'd get a fixed quote based on the scope of works.
Depending on the trade, skill and plant and equipment $80 - $110 per hour is around the mark, some even more.So many times they’ve highlighted that these tradies charge $110 per hour.
My ******* ass they charge this much.

Yeah, I think if I was looking at the 5 houses from the perspective of buying one, Harry & Tash's appeals the most to me too.
Luke and Jas backyard the worst.I agree, I thought the judges were wrong in criticising two things last night
1) Harry and Tash had to have a wall where they did for security and privacy. You could argue a fence with a gate may have been better but they needed something.
2) Commenting how good it was that there was no cover in the outdoor area in I think Luke and Jasmine's house? What world are they living in? If you don't get sunburnt you will get wet for ten months of the year.

They would have got ******* slammed if they had nothing there too.Agreed.
Would have looked ridiculous if Harry and Tash didn't have a fence separating the front and back. Nobody wants people being able to see into their backyard from the street.
Thinking no cover for an outdoor area in Melbourne is a good idea is having sh*t for brains.

Anyone else notice the massive cleared out area used as a car park for the all the tradies in an episode last week? Im presuming Ch.9 will build another house there to make more money on
Where is this?
Having popped past a few times the only space is the laneway at the back only accessible to the homeowners.
