It's been 11 years since Newcastle fitter and turner Brad Cranfield and his schoolteacher wife Lara made a record-setting $506,000 profit after renovating a home in Melbourne, with the windfall changing their lives forever.
With the $100,000 prize money on top, they took home $606,000 in 2012, before Brad returned to The Block two years later with former rival Dale Vine and picked up $253,625 each, despite the pair coming last in that Fans V Faves season.
NAILED IT!
Good fortune has shone on Brad and Lara ever since.
They bought a 25-hectare block of land at Bishops Bridge in the Hunter Valley for $510,000 with their first win and transformed a humble weatherboard house they trucked in from Newcastle into a magnificent glass and wood dream home.
