After overcommitting to their design and taking on the 48-hour fix up, the South Australian couple thought they were in struggle town.

That was until the last day of the renovation when not only did Lisa wake up sick, but the duo discovered they were over budget and all work was forced to stop.

After being informed by build supervisor Matt that they’ve run out of money, Lisa and Andy finally admit that they aren’t going to be able to deliver a finished room for the 48-hour fix up.

“This is the first time where we are not confident, we are going to get finished,” Andy said.

“We need to figure out a way to get some money back.”
