The Block

S08:É06 - S08:E06 - Episode 6

Luke and Ebony from WA have had the most setbacks with waterproofing issues and plumbing fixtures not being on site when they need them. They can’t complete the waterproofing because they’re waiting on parts and at the start of a new day they are behind the other teams. Tim and Anastasia have chosen diamond marble mosaic tiles and the tiler is worried that the tiles are going to look dodgy if they lay the tiles onto the newly waterproofed walls. They decide to sheet the wall first so that the tiled finish will be perfect. Josh saves the day by lending Luke his plumber to install the flick mixer. Ayden tries desperately to render the wall around his plumbing. He quickly runs out of render and tells Keith he’s going to use glue to make up for the render short fall. This doesn’t sound good to Keith and Ayden must make up more render. Keith is full of bad news for Luke too, telling him to take down their old ceiling and replace it with a new one. He also tells them to run their wall tiles right up to the ceiling but Luke isn’t sure its possible. Josh thinks Charlotte has ordered the wrong tiles for their bathroom. Charlotte’s not sure which way she wants the tiles laid - in fact she’s not even sure what horizontal means! Ayden rushes to make up more render and get it on the wall in preparation for the waterproofing that needs doing. He’s also trying to make a bathroom vanity too to impress the judges. Dan comes to the rescue of Luke and Ebony, and tells them to put a new ceiling underneath the old one, saving them much needed hours. Josh puts his fire retardant plasterboard in the cavity for his shaving cabinet. Dan give Josh the bad news that his waterproofing needs some repairs before it will pass certification. Ayden and Jess’s elaborate wall tiles are proving tricky for their tiler to lay under pressure. Their glazier arrives to install the shower screen but with the tiler delayed they can’t install their shower screen until the morning of reveal. For Luke and Ebony things go from bad to worse. Late at night just before reveal day, their toilet cistern is the wrong one and the vanity and basin they’ve ordered are both too big. And they don’t have the right tap either. Luke has a good laugh about it but he knows it could be the move that sends he and Ebony home.
