JORDAN and Harry Hargreaves are the best cubby house builders going around.
The Wedderburn duo teamed with fellow Redbacks’ footballer Mitch McEwen to win the Tradie Challenge at the weekend’s Deni Ute Muster in Deniliquin.
Carpenter builder Jordan, brother Harry, who describes himself as a skilled labourer, and Echuca-based carpenter Mitch knocked together the cubby house in just under six hours.
“A couple of us went up a few years ago with the encouragement of (Redbacks player) Cory Lowry’s parents who are involved with running the show,” Jordan said. “This was my third time in the competition and we keep being invited back. I think we entertain the crowd!”
Jordan said four teams contested the challenge with money raised from the sale of the cubby houses given to social housing enterprise Homes Out West.
“We received the design plans a few weeks before. The cubby had to include two doors and a window,” he said.
“We started at 9am and finished at 3pm with half an hour for lunch. Then we enjoyed the rest of the weekend.”
