In this video, Adam and Tara are teaming up to help out a very special young fan of the show. While most 10-year olds are busy playing sport or video games, Sam has a very different passion: he loves to DIY! Sam’s biggest dream is to have a tool shed all of his own, but his parents have had a traumatic few years and haven’t had the time or money to help out. Adam and Tara are bringing Sam’s dreams to life, plus they’re also helping Sam tackle a few jobs around the house for mum and dad.

Building a granny flat or even bigger second dwelling on your property is a huge decision, almost as huge as the house purchase itself. This year we’ve been following several families who have taken the leap to create another home at their place, either for a family member or extra rental income, and this time we meet Deepa and Manish, who are heading down the same path. They’re creating a budget granny flat - only instead of handing over the cash and waiting to move in, Deepa has become an owner-builder. It could be risky business because the couple, who recently had their first child, must oversee every aspect of the new build and try to stay on time and on budget. We’ll follow their build, along with the all the tips and tricks...and, of course, help out along the way. Plus, finance expert Sarah Leslie will be giving us the financial lowdown on budget granny-flat builds.

Tara’s helping a family of five create a state-of-the-art laundry room that’s super organised and full of the latest in laundry tech. The finished result is so stylish, doing the laundry won’t seem like such of a chore.

Adam and Jason have transformed lots of outdoor areas before, but none quite like this! Just in time for summer, they’re teaming up to create one of the most unique projects we’ve ever featured on the show. It’s a revolving pavilion which can be rotated to face the sun, so it’s the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors year-round. This is one project that will really put you in a spin.

Fast Ed’s putting a new spin on a family favourite. He’s making rissoles and sneaking in some mushrooms for extra flavour – but your kids will never guess they’re eating something healthy.

It’s the Aussie dream to have a family pool in the backyard, but not only are the costs of running one often astronomical, backyard pools typically require lots of chemicals to run – not to mention all the hard work involved in maintaining them. Jason’s sharing a more pocket and environmentally-friendly solution: natural pools. Natural pools require no chemicals and minimal maintenance, and are a lot cheaper – so you can swim in crystal clear waters without all the energy bills.

Fast Ed’s sharing a recipe which is perfect for picnics and barbecues. His sweet potato fritters are made with buttermilk, zucchini, and lots of herbs and they’re perfect picnic fare.
