A new show on one of the major networks (which I can’t tell you or I’d have to kill you) is looking for people who own their home but don’t have the cash to renovate it and need a helping hand.
“We’re looking for people who own a home that’s in dire need of renovation (essentially a renovator’s delight) who also have the desire to roll their sleeves up and do the renovating themselves,” said a spokesperson. “If they get selected for the show, we’ll cover the renovation costs and there’s a big cash prize up for grabs. We’re not looking for experts – just vibrant personalities with a little know-how and a strong idea on how they want their dream home.”
What’s not to like?!
They are looking for people who:
- Own and live in a house in need of entire renovation
- Are at least 18 years of age
- Are full of energy and keen to renovate
- Have a close relative or friend to team up with and help with the renovation
- Have some building, renovating or design experience
- Can be available for a filming period of up to 14 weeks.
You can apply for the show online at http://go.mycastingnet.com/
About Jen Bishop
Oh my gosh. If this is the new premise for The Block I hope they bring it to NZ! I also hope they air this show in NZ because I am so keen to watch.
I have the best idea for a great reno job for you plus I really need someone to the job for free!!! I am the new, keen and eager librarian at a public school in a small NSW town famous for a horrific murder, Aberdeen. My library is falling down around me (exaggeration) and the NSW Dept of Education dont have the money to spend to fix it up, not even a new paint job. Recently one side of the floor inside the building somehow developed a lean, so much so that the childrens pencils now roll of the desks! When inspectors came to look (I was quietly confident it would have to be fixed) they looked underneath and said there was nothing wrong and that the gap between the wall and floor (natural air conditioning) that had opened up so much that the skirting was cracking and lifting was “creating an illusion” that the floor was on a slope. The building is heritage listed and only the inside structures can be changed. I am keen to bring our library and students learning into the 21st Century but gosh it’s a difficult task when our building is in such a mess. Would you consider us for your show???
I have a waterfront property on the Central Coast of NSW and it has all the building approvals in place but due to separation and having also having some health issues I am not in the best financial position. My health is now good!
Hi Tracy. you’ll need to contact the TV production company, details in the post.
Hello, my name is Toula and we live in SA. We started building in October 2011. We have a half built house which we have moved into in oct 2012. My husband was diagnosed with severe depression and has not been able to do much, he is a plumber and most of the work has been done by him. He is amazing it what he can do there is hardly nothing that he cannot achieve. Our home is a two story home and we are iiving in the bottem level it has been tiled and painted we have a temporary kitchen, the upstairs is not finished and the outside is not finished. We would love the opportunity to be able to be assisted by you to finish this project with our modern designs that we have planned. We have two children and all we want is to be able to finish this. Its been
over a year and its getting to the stage all we want is to finish…..
Thankyou
