Meg & Dan ‘ANYONE COULD WIN!’
When it comes to The Block NZ, Team Orange’s Meg Stallard and Dan Leen are used to being patient. Alongside their castmates, the Rangiora husband-andwife have weathered a production shutdown, injuries and now the postponement of the Three show’s final auction due to COVID-19. “We’ve gotten really good at being in limbo!” smiles Meg, 39.
But now the final chapter in the couple’s Block adventure is right around the corner, with all four Point Chevalier properties set to go under the hammer on Sunday, November 14, with the winning team taking home an extra $100k.
“Now that it’s happening, I’ve got a feeling between excitement and nerves,” tells Dan, 46, who says he’d be hard-pressed to predict a winner. “We’ve given ourselves every opportunity to win, but I think all the teams have. Everyone’s put in 110%.”
While they waited for the auction, the construction company owners have kept themselves busy with work and a new hobby – homesteading – with a goal of making their house self-sufficient within the next five years.
“We’ve got solar power being installed shortly,” tells Dan. “We have fruit trees and farm animals, and we’re working on various ways of collecting water. The vege garden will be the final piece of the puzzle.”
Meg adds, “It’s a heap of work, but it brings us so much joy. I love figuring out how to make homemade versions of what we buy from the supermarket, so we only need to go there for toothpaste and soap!”
