There’s not much that gets past The Block‘s Scott Cam – especially when it comes to dodgy workmanship.
WATCH THE DRAMA UNFOLD: Scott Cam and Jesse get into explosive argument
On Monday night’s episode, tensions reached boiling point between contestant Jesse Raeburn and host Scott Cam over a $600 carpentry bill.
After Jesse had been told to “take extra care” when boarding the ceiling of his apartment, it seems he failed to listen to Scott’s advice and instead was forced to rip them down in order to fix his mistake.
This ended up being a fight between Jesse and Scott, with the longtime host saying the real estate agent should have picked up on the error much earlier.
“Now, have you heard of a word called improvisation? Because that’s exactly what you have to do in carpentry,” Scott told Jesse.
Jesse tried to shift the blame as he explained it was the ‘boys’ who built the ceiling 100 millimetres out, meaning he shouldn’t be held responsible.
He went on to say that he didn’t believe the first two boards were off centre – but Scott disagreed, saying the mistake would have been obvious.
And Scott wasn’t happy with Jesse trying to dodge the blame.
“Don’t lie to me! Your first two boards were five millimetres out. So you go, ‘There’s something wrong,'” Scott said furiously.
Jesse continued to blame the show’s tradies, saying indignantly: “So we have to check everything your carpenters do?”
“Of course you do!” Scott replied, once again saying that the teams must take responsibility for their own renovations.
The argument between the two men ended with Scott storming off the building site, after flatly refusing to pay Jesse’s carpentry bill.
“I’m not paying nothing! Get the job done and get it done right,” he said.
