Hi Jen. My oldest son Joey Anderson-Reid and I (Leith Anderson-Reid) have applied and sent a video in several years ago. Can you reconsider us or do we need to re apply with a new video. You can see the house that I designed and finished that was built but Joey in the latest Queensland Homes.
We would really love the challenge and are definitely up for the challenge.
Please let me know if you are interested after you have a look at the magazine. If so we can make another tape.
Kindest Regards

How do I apply to be a recipient of the home renovation challenges that they do?
Hi there,
I have just purchased my first home in Surfers Paradise, QLD in the unit block of eight in the best street however… It is the biggest eyesore you have ever seen in your life!
They are all one bedroom units and inside is… bare acceptable and the outside is hideous orang old brick with walk up verandas and no garages however lots of land (536 sq meters) to park on.
Was wondering how to get onto the application list to get our little place worked on?
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours Sincerely, an ambitious and desperate Esquire
I would love to be on the block
