While we're discussing home reno's, I've done a few things around the place but I'm largely self taught.
When I wanted to extend the house, I got a mate who was a builder and off work with a broken leg to project manage for me. I paid him in beer plus a few slings of a couple hundred here and there.
I learned how to hang plaster and weatherboards, I figured out how to plumb a vanity unit and how to lay floating floor and built a kitchen nook/ bench out of pieces of pine 4x2.
The worst part was having the portaloo on the front lawn for 2 months.

So filming ended up just skipping the week. That's good.

RIP Rosa.

Neither could I. More power to her.
As I said initially, I'm still team Melbourne.

Same! 
Going to be so hard for her to go back, but she always seems so positive I'm sure she'll shine. Hope they have a big room win.
Still on team twins though. |

Ha ha ha, I agree.
Trixie - wah wah wah, "we don't win because they want to see us break" boo hoo . No dopey, you don't win because you're rubbish.
Pretty sure Trixie & dopey changed their bedhead considerably too, be interesting to see... I hope they don't win a room at all.
And, this probably has nothing to do with it, but doesn't she have another pair of shoes she can wear to the shops?? Does it really always have to be a summer dress with Blundstones?? Put a pair of thongs by the door honey  |

Man those twins can bitch! And I can't see the difference between calling the lady with the truck, and calling family or friends!
That shiny floor doesn't look bad, could be interesting.
Loved Maddies last room. Very hotely

I don't watch the show but from the little I've seen I don't like those twins either.
P.S-They kind of look like orangutans.
Something about there mouth/jaw.
